'Peaky Blinders': 4 characters we sure as hell want to see in the fifth season

They came, they took the Shelby family by storm, but it will be disappointing if they don't return for the showdown.

Creator Steven Knight's periodical drama, 'Peaky Blinders', is set to return this year in Spring, and we cannot wait to see Thomas Shelby to begin his new life as a politician. Starring Cillian Murphy as Thomas Shelby, Helen McCrory as Aunt Polly, Paul Anderson as Arthur Shelby, and Sophie Rundle as Ada Shelby, 'Peaky Blinders' depicts the notorious Birmingham gang who are led by the Shelby family. 

Headed by Thomas Shelby, a shell-shocked war-hero, the Shelby family has time and again come across as people who have not acted as the missing part of the family but have been crucial to their business too. Some of these characters have actually acted as foils to Thomas by either contradicting him or having a story arc parallel to his story. While the cast has already been announced - which now includes Sam Claflin, Brian Gleeson, Neil Maskell, and Anya Taylor-Joy - there are still some who we would love to see making a comeback in the fifth season. Here are the top four characters we would want to make appearances in the fifth season:
