Yes, the Peaky Blinders were a real street gang active in Birmingham, England, during the 1890s and early 1900s. While the TV show draws inspiration from them, it takes many creative liberties with the timeline and characters.
The name likely refers to the peaked flat caps the gang members wore. A popular theory says they sewed razor blades into the peaks, though historians debate whether this actually happened. "Blinder" was Birmingham slang for someone who looked stylish or striking.
Peaky Blinders ran for six seasons from 2013 to 2022 on BBC. Creator Steven Knight has also confirmed a feature film continuation that will serve as the definitive conclusion to the Shelby family saga.
