Peaky Blinders is officially coming back to the BBC for two more seasons.
Writer and creator Steven Knight is set to return to tell the story of a new generation of Shelbys, filmed and set in Birmingham.
However, conspicuously absent from the official BBC announcement is any mention of show star Cillian Murphy, which seems to indicate the Oscar-winner will not be back to reprise his role as Tommy Shelby.
Set in Britain in 1953, the official synopsis for the ‘new era’ of the series reads: ‘After being heavily bombed in WWII, Birmingham is building a better future out of concrete and steel.
‘The race to own Birmingham’s massive reconstruction project becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions.
‘This is a city of unprecedented opportunity and danger: with the Shelby family right at its blood-soaked heart.’

In the official announcement, the show creator Knight said: ‘I’m thrilled to be announcing this new chapter in the Peaky Blinders story.
‘Once again it will be rooted in Birmingham and will tell the story of a city rising from the ashes of the Birmingham blitz.
‘The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel and it will be a hell of a ride.’
The Peaky Blinders announcement comes off the back of Knight’s Netflix hit with House of Guinness, which tells the Succession-style story of the family that built the Guinness beer empire.
