Peaky Blinders is set in the lawless streets of Birmingham as it tracks the evolution of leader Tommy Shelby from backstreet crime lord to legitimate businessman and member of parliament.

When Tommy Shelby MP is approached by a charismatic politician with a bold vision for Britain, he realizes that his response will impact not only the future of his family but that of the entire nation.

The cast also includes Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch), Brian Gleeson (Phantom Thread), Neil Maskell (In Darkness), and Sam Claflin (The Nightingale).
