Peaky Blinders makes a dramatic return to our TV’s this week and with it comes the return of some of our favourite characters as well as some new faces. We looked into what we can expect from series 5.
About the series
It looks like the plot of series 5 will be based around the financial crash of 1929.
A lot of scenes are filmed around Liverpool and London due to the fact that Birmingham does not resemble the environment required for the show.
Cillian Murphy had smoked over 3000 cigarettes on the show by series 2. Luckily he was smoking herbal cigarettes that didn’t contain nicotine so he would not get addicted.
There will be some new faces in the mix this series. Including actor Sam Clafin who has previously been in ‘Hunger Games’ and ‘Me Before You’. He will be plays Oswald Mosley. Another new face is Hollyoaks actor Emmett J Scanlan.
The BBC have already commissioned a another two series.
We won’t have to wait long for the second episode as it will be shown the day after the first episode airs.
It will be interesting to see what happens in this series after Tommy made a deal with the authorities to infiltrate the communist movement in the last series.
With the massive success Peaky Blinders has received here and in America, producer Caryn Mandabach has revealed there could potentially be a film in the works.
As we have seen Tommy’s mental state has been deteriorating for a while, and series 5 will have this at the centre of its story.
David Bowie was reported to be a massive fan of the show and allowed them to use some of his music before he passed away.
