Peaky Blinders Season 6 Teaser Reveals The Return Of A Fan Favorite!
Like fans of any series that was put on hold, Peaky Blinders fans have been waiting for what seems like an eternity for Season 6. Alright, so that may be a bit hyperbolized, but the Season 5 release was in October of 2019. The season ends on quite the cliffhanger and fans have been waiting for a Season 6 and 7. However, the pandemic brings changes and the creator Steven Knight reveals that Season 6 will be the streaming finale. This portion of the series will then end with a film after Season 6. Aside from this information, fans have rarely seen any news regarding Season 6. Trust me, I continue to check. Not even an exact release date (early 2022). However, the series took to social media today with a teaser. It is brief, but brings back a fan favorite!
Coming off the cliffhanger, the teaser brings more questions than answers. We will have to wait to see how the unfortunate passing of Helen McCrory will impact the series. Fans do see the return of Alfie Solomons! Sure, he was in Season 5, but at the very end with brief, yet hilarious, interaction with Tommy. The teaser looks to possibly imply that Alfie will have a larger role in Season 6. Check it out below:

So, what will this role be? Some suggest that Alfie is not actually alive after Season 4. That he is in Tommy’s mind. We do know that Tommy’s worsening mental illness will be a focus this season. He already sees visions of Grace. Could he be seeing visions of Alfie? He does take an Alfie-style approach to his relationship with Mosley. So maybe he is just in his head?
However, I feel that Alfie is very much alive and will play a crucial role with Tommy. Why? It goes beyond them being frenemies. During their conversation in Season 5 Alfie suggests to Tommy that life is easier when you are “dead” and that he is retired. He even references being a persona of a mythological figure in the Holy Land. But he follows this expressing that his pride will inspire him to gain more power; personally or professionally.
Couldn’t it be both? Tommy cannot seem to take Mosley down. What better power than to help Tommy bring him down knowing that Tommy needs the help and cannot do it on his own. Also, we know how strongly Alfie values his Jewish heritage. A Jewish individual and a gypsy aligning to take down a Fascist anti-Semite. Sounds professional and personal to me. Whether Alfie is really dying from cancer as he suggests to Tommy in Season 4 we do not actually know. But Tommy does suggest that he can send Alfie out with a bang. Can Alfie every really be trusted?

All of the characters are amazingly portrayed in the series. Alfie is by far one of my favorites. Even if people did suggest when first watching to use the sub-titles to help with his thick accent. You eventually get it. And Tom Hardy is amazing in the series once again. While the teaser was short, there is a good more to dig through with it. What do you think of the teaser? What could this mean for Peaky Blinders Season 6 and Tommy and Alfie moving forward? Leave your thoughts in the usual spot, and thanks for reading!
