Peaky Blinders season 5’s release date has been confirmed and everyone is excited…
Tommy Shelby and his family will be coming back to our TV screens on Sunday August 25th at 9pm. It will be show on BBC One. It will be a while before it is added to Netflix especially now iPlayer will be keeping shows on for a year on the catch up service.
The US date for season 5 is not yet confirmed.
The official plot synopsis reads: “Series five of Steven Knight’s crime family saga finds the world thrown into turmoil by the financial crash of 1929. Opportunity and misfortune are everywhere.
“When Tommy Shelby MP (Cillian Murphy) is approached by a charismatic politician with a bold vision for Britain, he realises that his response will affect not just his family’s future but that of the entire nation.”
Season 5 has been a long time in the making considering series four ended in December 2017. Filming for the show’s fifth series ended in January 2019 and has now been completed with editing and sound work.
Here is the trailer:
Peaky Blinders used to be aired on BBC Two but is now home to BBC One.
Explaining the decision behind the switch, Director of BBC Content Charlotte Moore revealed: “Peaky Blinders is world class drama at the top of its game and the time has arrived for it to move to the UK’s biggest channel. Steven Knight’s epic storytelling is authentic and utterly compelling and I want to give it the chance to be enjoyed by an even broader audience on BBC One.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better response to series four and the impact it had with young audiences. This move will also give BBC2 more creative headroom to experiment with new drama.”
Many of the cast from season four will be returning to out TV screens including: Cillian Murphy be back as Tommy Shelby, Paul Anderson (Arthur Shelby), Finn Cole (Michael Gray), Sophie Rundle (Ada Thorne) and Helen McCrory (Polly Gray) – and many more.
Peaky Blinders season 5 returns to BBC One on Sunday, August 25th at 9pm.
