From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

Peaky Blinders returned for its fourth run in the UK last week and already as a US premiere date set - Netflix will make all episodes available next month.

The Steven Knight-created gangster series which stars Cillian Murphy will be added to the US version of the streaming service on 21 December once the six episodes have aired on BBC Two in the UK, according to Deadline.

Peaky Blinders season four sees the return of Murphy and Helen McCrory alongside Paul Sparks, Joe Cole and Tom Hardy with Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody and Game of Thrones' Aidan Gillen joining the cast.

The story centres on a mysterious letter received by Thomas Shelby (Murphy) on Christmas Eve which leads him to realise his gang are in danger of “annihilation.”

When the series returns on Netflix, it will come without The Weinstein Company attached - in light of the sexual assault and harassment allegations against producer Harvey Weinstein, the streaming service has etched the company from all three past seasons - already available to watch - as well as the forthcoming run.

While not a TWC production, the popular series was acquired by the company in 2013 when the US TV rights were sold following its success on BBC Two. The company's name has only ever appeared on the series in the US.

Peaky Blinders - which has been renewed for a fifth series - continues on BBC Two every Wednesday
