Peaky Blinders season 6 Netflix release date is finally confirmed — and it's not good
A longer-than-average wait awaits
Earlier this week, we analyzed potential Peaky Blinders season 6 Netflix release dates, as the show is currently airing first on the BBC before the big red streaming machine gets it. And while we're happy Netflix finally confirmed the release date for the next batch, this isn't exactly what we were hoping for.
As Variety reported, Peaky Blinders season 6 (which is the final season, though a movie will follow) comes out on Netflix on June 10, 2022. And while some fans of the show may be elated to have a date to circle on their calendars, this is an odd break from the previous Netflix release dates for the Cillian Murphy-led series.
And this delay will likely encourage fans in the U.S. to use alternate ways to watch the series to avoid spoilers online. Speaking of which, we've got a whole guide for how to watch Peaky Blinders season 6 online right now, no matter where in the world you are.

Analysis: Netflix releases can be confusing
If you thought (as we did) that Peaky Blinders season 6 was coming to Netflix in April, don't feel bad. This whole art of predicting Netflix dates is more confusing than reading tea leaves.
This isn't the only Netflix release date for a show that streams somewhere else first that we've had our eyes on as of late. When it came to the Better Call Saul season 5 Netflix release date, we only found out this week that the penultimate season of the AMC series will hit Netflix on April 4.
