The show’s writer-creator Steven Knight said: “We have a dream team gathered for series four of Peaky Blinders, coming to us for love of the series which is great. Adrien Brody, Aidan Gillen and Charlie Murphy give us a wealth of talent to work with. And with Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley returning, we couldn’t have hoped for more.”

The new series is expected to hit TV screens in October. In recent statement to the BBC, Knight said it is likely to be set in 1926 and will include the General Strike.

As well as two more series, it was recently rumoured that a Peaky Blinders film could be in the works.

The show has become known for making perfect soundtrack choices with songs by The White Stripes, Royal Blood and PJ Harvey. Actor Cillian Murphy has claimed that David Bowie personally asked to have his music featured in the show.
