AHEAD of the eagerly anticipated sixth season of Peaky Blinders, fans have been deliberating about how the story will unfold.

The previous season ended on a huge cliffhanger, something which was not done in previous instalments.

Tommy Shelby sets up a plan to assassinate Sir Oswald Mosley, a fascist politician.

However, he fails to do so and is now confused about how things went haywire. 

Taking all of that into account, we take a look at some of the popular fan theories about the upcoming season.

Thomas Shelby in his suicidal dreams has seen the presence of a black cat.

Polly tells him that the significance of a black cat in the dream points towards a traitor in his life.

And fans think that the most likely person who would betray Tommy is none other than Michael himself.

Another fan theory points towards the survival of yet another character, Aberama Gold. 

Earlier Arthur's grand return in the last season shocked the fans, given he died a few seasons ago.

On the other hand, Alfie Solomon was also shot in the head and he made his appearance in the next season.

Although Aberama was shot multiple times, fans believe that there is some unfinished business.

Gina Gray's hatred towards the Shelby family began when she was treated as an outsider.

Now fans believe that there is something going on between her and Oswald Mosley.

During the ballerina performance at the Shelby house, the duo shared a glance at one another.

This might add to the theory that she is set up by Mosley to find dirt on the family from the inside.

Due to the gipsy background, Tommy doesn't align with the racist stereotyping that Mosley follows.

At many events, Mosley has disrespected Tommy's wife and has also sent threats to him.

But just how did Mosley know that Tommy is about to make a move?

Peaky Blinders kidnapped and held Billy as a hostage and, as a result, he hasn't been their big fan.

Even though he is a singer by profession, he has been getting threats from Arthur in every episode.
