'Peaky Blinders': 5 reasons why we want Tom Hardy's character, Alfie Solomons, to return in season 5

He was their friend, their enemy, their advisor, and their well-wisher, and without him the Shelby clan is incomplete
PUBLISHED DEC 27, 2018

BBC One's show created by Steven Knight, 'Peaky Blinders', is all set to return with its fifth season in the upcoming year's Spring, but among the series' characters who will not return for the fifth season are the youngest Shelby brother, John (played by Joe Cole), and May Carleton (played by Charlotte Riley).

Fans are probably grieved by the fact that the show's beloved villain, Alfie Solomons, will not return. Played by Tom Hardy, Alfie was a key character in all the four seasons of the show, which starred Cillian Murphy (as Thomas Shelby), Paul Anderson (as Arthur Shelby), and Helen McCrory (as Aunt Polly). 'Peaky Blinders' has been following the plight of the infamous Birmingham gang notorious for slitting the eyes of their enemies with the blades attached to their blinder caps.
