Hide AdThe report claims that Caryn Mandabach Productions are even planing to release a range of aftershave and grooming products, clothing and even a chain of barber shops, according to The Sun.
The BBC show based on the infamous Birmingham gang has been wildly popular since it first aired in 2013, and even has even proved a hit in Europe and the US since airing on Netflix.
The original Peaky Blinders were regulars in the Garrison Pub in Small Heath - but reports don’t mention that being part of the new Peaky Blinders themed bars.
There is also a pub called the Peaky Blinder in Dale End in the city centre.

What have the BBC said about the release date and series 6 plot?
All that the BBC are saying at the moment is “fans can expect the next installment early in 2022”.
Paul Anderson, who plays Arthur Shelby in the show, recently hinted at a February release date for the sixth and final season in a post on his Instagram page.
The new season follows on from series five, which introduced Sam Claflin as the leader of the British Union of Fascists, Oswald Mosley, and ended with a cliffhanger as the Shelby family were betrayed by their allies.

Another shocking moment of the series 5 finale was the revelation that Alfie Solomons (played by Tom Hardy) was still alive.
It was revealed that Tommy had not actually killed Alfie in series 4, but just injured him, when viewers were previously left believing he had been killed off.
Alfie then helped Tommy with his botched plan to assassinate Mosley.
