Peaky Blinders Trivia Quiz: By Order of the Peaky Blinders

Few television series have achieved the cultural impact of Peaky Blinders. What started as a BBC drama about a post-World War I Birmingham gang family grew into a global phenomenon, captivating audiences with its razor-sharp storytelling, stunning cinematography, and unforgettable performances. With the Netflix movie bringing the Shelby saga to its cinematic conclusion, there has never been a better time to test how well you really know the Peaky Blinders.

Our Peaky Blinders Trivia Quiz challenges your knowledge of everything from the show's historical roots to its most dramatic plot twists.

The Show's Cultural Impact

🎩Take the quizPeaky Blinders Trivia12 questions · medium→

Peaky Blinders transcended the typical period drama. It became a style icon, with Tommy Shelby's signature flat cap, three-piece suits, and undercut hairstyle influencing fashion trends worldwide. The show's soundtrack, mixing modern artists like Nick Cave, Arctic Monkeys, and PJ Harvey with 1920s settings, created an atmosphere that felt both timeless and contemporary.

The series also put Birmingham on the cultural map. Visitors now seek out the real Small Heath, explore the canals that inspired the show's settings, and visit the Black Country Living Museum. The Peaky Blinders brand expanded into merchandise, themed bars, and even a video game — proof of just how deeply the show embedded itself in popular culture.

Historical Birmingham

While the show takes creative liberties, the Peaky Blinders were a real gang that operated in Birmingham from the 1890s through the 1910s. The name allegedly comes from the practice of sewing razor blades into the peaks of their flat caps — though historians debate whether this is fact or legend. The real Peaky Blinders were active before World War I, earlier than the show's 1919 starting point, but creator Steven Knight used artistic license to explore the post-war landscape of trauma, ambition, and social upheaval.

Our quiz touches on both the historical and fictional elements, testing whether you can separate fact from dramatic fiction.

Favorite Characters and Their Appeal

Tommy Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy, is one of television's most compelling antiheroes. His combination of ruthless intelligence, wartime trauma, and occasional vulnerability made him impossible to look away from. But the supporting cast is equally strong: Aunt Polly's fierce matriarchal authority, Arthur's volatile intensity, Alfie Solomons' unpredictable menace, and Ada's quiet defiance all contribute to what makes the show special.

Fans are deeply divided on their favorite characters, and the quiz gives you a chance to prove you know them all — not just the obvious ones.

The Immortal Man: The Movie That Wraps the Saga

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man arrived on Netflix on March 20, 2026, bringing Cillian Murphy back as Tommy Shelby one final time. Directed by Tom Harper and written by Steven Knight, the film is set during the Blitz in November 1940 — years after the events of Season 6.

Tommy has retreated from public life following the death of his brother Arthur, living in isolation and working on his autobiography while haunted by visions of his daughter Ruby. But a Nazi plot to destabilize the British economy using counterfeit currency manufactured in concentration camps draws Tommy back into the shadows.

The cast includes returning favorites like Stephen Graham, Sophie Rundle, and Ned Dennehy alongside major new additions: Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Barry Keoghan, Leo Woodall, John Slattery, and Jessica Henwick.

The film premiered at Birmingham's Symphony Hall on March 2 before its worldwide Netflix release — a fitting homecoming for a story that began in the streets of Small Heath.
