'Peaky Blinders': Thomas Shelby is set to face new challenges in Season 5, 4 reasons the show can't return fast enough

PUBLISHED JAN 26, 2019

Creator Steven Knight's 'Peaky Blinders' has just wrapped up its shoot for the fifth season, and we can already tell the Birmingham gang is returning with a whole new aura. Starring Cillian Murphy (as Thomas Shelby), Helen McCrory (as Aunt Polly), Sophie Rundell (as Ada Shelby), Paul Anderson (as Arthur Shelby), and Finn Cole (as Michael), the show has been following the Peaky Blinder gang led by the Shelby family. 

As the family's chief income comes from their business of gambling and automobiles, Season 4 saw Thomas Shelby climb up the social ladder to become a Member of Parliament - something he chalked in order to legitimize the family business.
