For those wondering when "Peaky Blinders" Season 6 will air, the first hints have been brought to light. According to the announcement, star Konrad Kahn has given as long as 28 days as to when the next installment will be released. [Khan told RadioTimes.com, "Last I heard - I mean, these things change very quickly - I think it will be released next February or early next year."

Yeah, even if you don't know his name, you haven't forgotten anything. He is well known for his experience in the bleak film "County Lines."

This less than candid quote actually sounds like it could have come earlier or later. But it is not the late 2021 frame we have been optimistic about for the past months.

We had that time frame in mind because director Anthony Byrne had said that the season would require a six-month editing period and that production would end on May 28, 2021. That meant a December or later release, with a bit of a buffer from submitting the season in November at the earliest; Netflix and the BBC probably needed time to get everything in order to promote the series and wanted time to look it over before dropping it online.

Season 6 of "Peaky Blinders" has had a long and bumpy road to release for the same reasons many projects have.

While many characters reached the end of the TV season without a muzzle being pointed at them, Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) had a pistol pointed at his own head when season 5 ended.

Since it is not likely that Tommy will actually kill himself, the major issues of "Peaky Blinders" season 6 revolve around Bulma running out of options. Gina (Anya Taylor-Joy) and Michael (Finn Cole) seem ready to take full control of The Shelby Company, Inc. and wrest it out of Tommy's hands.

And then there is the mystery of the failed assassination of Sir Oswald Mosley, which has everyone wondering how even the best laid plans can fall apart.
