Peaky Blinders Season 5 preview: Three burning questions that need to be answered in the upcoming season

Season 4 saw Thomas rise from being a wanted gangster to a member of Parliament, and Season 5 is all set to bring some new troubles his way.

BBC One crime drama 'Peaky Blinders' has wrapped up its shooting for Season 5 and is all set to release on the channel sometime in late Spring this year.

It has also been revealed that after Season 4, which was released on Netflix in December last year, Season 5 will air on the streaming platform sometime in September this year. As none of the dates have been mentioned, it can be said that the show will continue to run towards the end of May as it had done with the previous seasons. 

Starring Cillian Murphy (as Thomas Shelby), Paul Anderson (as Arthur Shelby), Joe Cole (as John Shelby), Helen McCrory (as Aunt Polly), and Natasha O'Keefe (as Lizzie Stark), 'Peaky Blinders' follows the infamous Birmingham gang who are notorious for slitting the eyes of their enemies with the blades attached to their blinder caps. Season 5 of the Steven Knight-created show will see the Shelbys reaching up in the social ladder, as Thomas takes up his place in politics. Before the show hits the waves, here are three burning questions we have for season 5:
