What happened to Tommy Shelby at the end of Peaky Blinders?

Time in the series jumps forward one month, with Tommy inside of a caravan filled with pictures of his loved ones and various trinkets.

He is seen loading his gun and holds it to his head.

As he’s about to pull the trigger, his dead daughter, Ruby appears, “You must live,” she says.

Ruby informs Tommy that he is not actually sick, even though he has been informed that he is.

A newspaper clipping from the Charred remains of a fire confirms that he is not due to die anytime soon, although many believe that he already is.

His tuberculoma was a falsification.

The doctor that informed him of his fate, is in fact, a Nazi who runs circles with Sir Oswald Mosley and Diana Mitford.

Tommy ends up confronting him, and we see the pair exchange words, but it does not end up in death battle like we would have expected.

It appears like the head of the Shelby clan has become a changed man.

The episode finished with Tommy’s caravan set on fire as instructed, with signals a new chapter for his life ahead as he goes off into the distance.



Cillian Murphy plays Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders

Will Tommy Shelby return to the Peaky Blinders franchise?

Peaky Blinders star Cillian Murphy who plays Tommy will be making a return for the franchise.

Show creator Steven Knight has confirmed that a film will be made once series six ends.

While it’s far too early to know when the film will arrive, the likely prediction will be towards the start of 2024 for it to hit cinemas.

Filming will begin in 2023 with details currently being kept under wraps.

However, as the final season of the TV series taking place in the mid 1930s, it is expected that a film would be set during the start of the Second World War.

Knight has already confirmed that both Cillian Murphy and Paul Anderson will reprise their roles as Shelby brothers Tommy and Arthur.

Other current cast members fans can expect to feature in the spin-off include Finn Shelby (Harry Kirton), Ada Thorne (Sophie Rundle) and Lizzie Shelby (Natasha O’Keeffe).

Newcomer Conrad Khan who appear as Tommy’s long lost son Duke is also expected to make a return.
