Where to watch Peaky Blinders (2013–2022)

Trivia & production notes

• Steven Knight created and wrote Peaky Blinders, with Screen Yorkshire funding the production through the Yorkshire Content Fund to ensure most filming took place in Yorkshire.
• The show did not employ linguistic consultants, resulting in Romani Gypsies in early series speaking broken Romanian rather than actual Romani language.
• Sam Neill worked with Northern Irish actors James Nesbitt and Liam Neeson to help recover his lost Northern Irish accent for the role of C.I. Campbell, though he ultimately toned it down for the American market.
• Series three took 78 days to shoot, completing on 22 January 2016.
• The Weinstein Company logo and credits were removed from series 4 despite the company's earlier involvement in US distribution of the show.
• Series 5 marked Peaky Blinders' move from BBC Two to BBC One, with the series premiering at Birmingham Town Hall before its broadcast debut.
• Series 6 production was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic after being scheduled to begin in March 2020.
• Helen McCrory, who played Polly Gray, died in April 2021, and her character was written out of the final series.
• Creator Steven Knight deliberately avoided watching acclaimed shows like The Wire and Boardwalk Empire to prevent their influence on his own writing.
• David Bowie was a fan of the show and his music was featured in series three, while Leonard Cohen wrote a new song specifically for that season.
