Peaky Blinders: Best quotes from the BBC crime drama
Read this article, by order of the Peaky Blinders.
As we continue to wait for the highly anticipated Peaky Blinders movie, it feels like an age since we last caught up with Tommy and the rest of the Shelby clan.
The series, which ran for six seasons between 2013 and 2022, was created by Steven Knight and starred Cillian Murphy, Paul Anderson, Tom Hardy, Helen McCrory and more acclaimed actors.
Even though the series is finished, that doesn't mean there won't be further opportunities to catch up with the Peaky Blinders.
Not only is the aforementioned movie in the works and set to film this year, but it has also been reported that multiple spin-off series are in the works, including one set in Boston 20 years after the original series, and another centred on Polly Gray, the Shelby matriarch who was played by the late Helen McCrory.
