'Peaky Blinders': Season 5 will see the Shelbys clash with the 'Billy Boys', and Alfie Solomons might just be part of it
BBC One's period street-gang drama, 'Peaky Blinders', is all set to return with Season 5 this spring, and it seems it is about to be the best season of the series, so far. Coming from creator Steven Knight, the show has been following the tale of the infamous Birmingham razor-gang, led by the Shelby family, as they confront several rival gangs, including one from New York (as we saw in Season 4).
However, this time the Shelby family is about to meet their match as the show will now bring in the saga of the Bridgeton Derry gang, most commonly known as the 'Billy Boys'. Starring Cillian Murphy as Thomas (Tommy) Shelby, Paul Anderson as Arthur Shelby, Helen McCrory as Polly Gray (Aunt Polly), Finn Cole as Michael Gray, and Sophie Rundle as Ada Shelby, Season 5 is set in the late '20s and the early '30s, a time when Fascism was at its peak in Europe.
