Peaky Blinders season 6 was finally released on Netflix U.S. just this Friday, June 10, and we don’t know about you, but we simply can’t get enough of the new episodes of the final season.

It’s been a long wait since we last checked in with the Birmi gang led by the notorious crime boss Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), and if you can cast your mind back all the way to season 5 you’d recall that we saw plenty of characters being killed off. So who’s in Peaky Blinders season 6?

Check out the full list of actors — new and old — featuring in the final season of the popular British crime drama below.

Irish actor Cillian Murphy returned to the series as the titular crime boss Tommy Shelby.

Peaky Blinders season 6 cast: Who is not back for new season?

The death of actress Helen McCrory meant that Elizabeth “Polly” Gray had to be written out of the series; this saw her character being killed off somewhere off-screen before the events of the first episode of season 6. That said, the actress does appear in the new season through archived footage and audio.

Actors who did not return for season 6:

  • Jack Rowan as Bonnie Gold
  • Kingsley Ben-Adir as Colonel Ben Younger
  • Cosmo Jarvis as Barney Thompson
  • Aidan Gillen as Aberama Gold
  • Annabelle Wallis as Grace Shelby (Ghost)
  • Brian Gleeson as Jimmy McGovern and the Billy Boys gang
