PEAKY Blinders will return with its sixth and final series later this year – but one familiar face will be notably absent.
The acclaimed BBC drama has been busy filming in recent months, with Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) and co taking on British Fascist Oswald Mosley (Sam Claflin).

However, Tommy won’t be joined by unionist leader and former love interest Jessie Eden, play by Charlie Murphy.
The actress confirmed that her appearance in series 5 was her last and she wouldn’t be involved in the upcoming episodes.
“I’m done now, but it was a lot of fun when we shot it. And that feels like an age ago as well, which it was, it was about three years ago,” she told Digital Spy.
Fans will remember how Tommy saved Jessie from being arrested at the protests outside Mosley’s British Union of Fascists rally.
When asked who she thought could have betrayed Tommy by sabotaging his assasination of Mosley, she said there were a plethora of suspects.
“I think you have to say: who wouldn’t? I think that’s how you can kind of narrow it down,” she went on.
“Steve Knight is an incredible writer, and ratcheting up that sense of dread is something that he does so well – and there are so many curveballs.
“So I think it would be the process of elimination – coming in at that angle – because God knows who?”
