'Peaky Blinders' Season 5: Michael Grey might just be Tommy's wild-card

As the peaky blinders are about to meet their match in the Billy Boys, in Season 5, their youngest warrior, Michael might just turn out to be their greatest weapon
UPDATED MAR 5, 2019

Michael Grey (Finn cole) is very unlike his two cousins -- Arthur Shelby (Paul Anderson) and John Shelby (Joe Cole), who are short-tempered and ready to brawl at the least instigations.

However, he certainly has the potential of being a lot like his third cousin, Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy), who is the head of the peaky blinders and is known for sensitive nature and sly tactics.

Michael went from being the sheep to the wolf, and although his mother, Polly (Helen McCrory), disapproved of him joining the peaky blinders, the central gang in BBC One's titular show, Michael went on to become the Shelby Company's chief accountant, just like his mother. 

We were intorduced to Michael in Season 2, when Thomas first appeared at his foster parents' door step in a quiet village, and informed Michael about his mother who was still under the impression that her son was dead.
