Spoiler-Safe Guide
medium confidencesource-verifiedAll 36 episodes across 6 series confirmed via Wikipedia episode list. The most significant correction is an off-by-one error: Ruby Shelby's death and Tommy's tuberculoma diagnosis both occur in S6E4 (Sapphire), not S6E3 (Gold) as the original guide states. Multiple independent sources confirm this (Entertainment Daily, Screen Rant, The Movie Nerds, Den of Geek). The S2E4 Campbell assault placement issue is a separate Rule 3 concern — the assault on Polly happened in an earlier episode than S2E6, but the guide incorrectly describes it as a S2E6 event. The guide remains otherwise well-sourced, with all ★★★ events traceable to Tier 2-3 sources fetched this session.

Major events
Characters
Tommy Shelby · Cillian Murphy · debut [S1E1✓]
Ruthless WWI veteran who transforms the Peaky Blinders from a small-time Birmingham gang into a national criminal and political force, ascending from bookmaker to MP while battling PTSD, grief, and his own suicidal impulses — culminating in a hard-won escape from his violent past.
Polly Gray · Helen McCrory · debut [S1E1✓]
The formidable matriarch and treasurer of the Shelby Company, she holds the family together through loyalty, spiritual intuition, and moral authority — until she is murdered off-screen by the IRA between Series 5 and 6, a loss that reshapes the entire final season.
Arthur Shelby Jr. · Paul Anderson · debut [S1E1✓]
Tommy's older brother and most feared enforcer, Arthur fights a lifelong battle with violence, addiction, and self-loathing — his brutality is both the gang's greatest weapon and his deepest wound. In the finale he enacts Polly's revenge and faces an ambiguous, possibly suicidal final note.
Grace Burgess / Shelby · Annabelle Wallis · debut [S1E1✓]
An undercover agent for Inspector Campbell who infiltrates the Garrison pub and falls genuinely in love with Tommy — her tragic arc moves from spy to wife to ghost, haunting Tommy's conscience for the rest of the series.
Inspector Chester Campbell · Sam Neill · debut [S1E1✓]
A hard-nosed former RIC inspector dispatched by Churchill to recover the stolen guns; his obsession with the Shelbys corrodes his principles until Polly's bullet finally ends him.
Alfie Solomons · Tom Hardy · debut [S2E2✓]
Camden Town's Jewish gangster — unpredictable, philosophically verbose, and treacherous — becomes both Tommy's most unreliable ally and one of the show's most beloved recurring presences, surviving a point-blank shooting to return scarred but alive.
Michael Gray · Finn Cole · debut [S2E3✓]
Polly's son, raised in adoptive care, who joins the Peaky Blinders as a teenager and rises to become the family's financial operator — before his rivalry with Tommy, his grief over his mother's death, and his own ambition drive him to an attempted patricide that ends in his death.
John Shelby · Joe Cole · debut [S1E1✓]
The third Shelby brother — warm, impulsive, and fiercely loyal — whose sudden assassination in the Series 4 premiere serves to legitimise the Changretta threat and devastate the family.
Ada Shelby / Thorne · Sophie Rundle · debut [S1E1✓]
The only Shelby sister, who begins as the family rebel (secretly in love with communist Freddie Thorne) and gradually becomes a trusted political and business operator, managing US operations and surviving every season as a voice of moral clarity.
Oswald Mosley · Sam Claflin · debut [S5E1✓]
The real-life British fascist politician, reimagined as Tommy's nemesis in Series 5-6 — charismatic, politically dangerous, and ultimately untouchable; Tommy's failure to kill him is the defining catastrophe of Series 5.
Luca Changretta · Adrien Brody · debut [S4E1✓]
New York Mafia boss who arrives in Birmingham to avenge the murder of his father and brother at the Shelbys' hands; a single-season antagonist who raises the stakes to their highest point before Tommy outmanoeuvres him.
