Some new faces arrive and some old faces leave, unfortunately. New Scouse actor Stephen Graham has also been added to season six’s cast, which fans are rather curious to see unfold on screen due to the recording having had many interruptions due to the pandemic. Unfortunately, Helen McCroy recently passed away due to her personal battle with breast cancer, and co-workers have confirmed that she will be absent from the new season. Cilian Murphy adds: “She would have been in series six if the pandemic hadnât put everything on hold…We were just five days away from shooting in March 2020 when the lockdown was announced. Helen was the heart of that show and it was hard to make it without her. Really hard.”
He adds,
“There was this huge absence on the set. We all felt it. She died while we were shooting. She was too young. You canât help but think of all the amazing roles she would have had.”
The new season of Peaky Blinders is set to release in the early months of 2022. While you wait, you might be curious to update yourself on the best movies of 2021, ranked.
