Returning: Peaky Blinders

Season one ended earlier this month on BBC First but here comes season two.

2014-09-28_1229Peaky Blinders returns to BBC First for its second series two weeks after its UK debut.

Having only just ended season one earlier this month, it means only a brief wait for fans of Steven Knight’s six-part gangster series.

The spectacular cast from series one – Cillian Murphy leading as Tommy Shelby, Sam Neill, Helen McCrory, Paul Anderson, Joe Cole and Ned Dennehy is joined for series two by BAFTA award-winning actor Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception), Australian actor Noah Taylor (Game of Thrones, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory) and Charlotte Riley (Edge of Tomorrow, Wuthering Heights).

Set in 1922 the new series is set to be an enthralling tale of ambition, corruption, violence, desire, and above all an extraordinary family living through extraordinary times.

As the 1920s begin to roar, business is booming for the Peaky Blinders gang. Shelby starts to expand his legal and illegal operations. He has his sights set firmly on wider horizons, and the race tracks of the South are calling out for new management.

Shelby’s meteoric rise brings him into contact with both the upper echelons of society and astonishing new adversaries from London’s criminal enterprises. All will test him to the core, though in very different ways.

Meanwhile, Shelby’s home turf of Birmingham is beset by new challenges as members of his family react to the upturn in their fortunes, and an enemy from his past returns to the city with plans for a revenge of biblical proportions.

Thursday October 16 at 8.30pm on BBC First.

  1. Sam Neill isn’t credited for the 2nd series.

    Campbell was in Birmingham to stop the weapons ending up in the hands of IRA. He was leaving after that but hung around to murder Grace.
