Steven Knight has confirmed that the Midlands based drama will be returning and that seasons six and seven will be filmed almost entirely in Birmingham. The world premiere at Birmingham's Town Hall sees the story of Thomas Shelby (played by Cillian Murphy) continue as the gangster life for the 1930s comes to life.

Knight has promised that the fifth helping of Peaky Blinders could be the best so far. Peaky Blinders is expected to return to BBC One in August or September.
