Peaky Blinders season 6: Is Tommy Shelby going to die?

After being handed a terminal illness, fans have been left in limbo as to what's in store for Tommy Shelby's character.

In last week's episode, Cillian Murphy 's character Tommy was dealt several heavy blows back to back. After mourning the death of his daughter Ruby, he heard the news he fathered an illegitimate son named Duke. Rounding off the bad news, the gangster found out he has tuberculoma in his brain stem, a growth caused by the same bacteria as tuberculosis.

Quickly deteriorating, Tommy was told he only had 18 months to live. It is also the same condition that killed his daughter. With the fate of his character seemingly set in stone, some fans are thinking otherwise.
