Your support makes all the difference.With just hours to go until Peaky Blinder returns, the BBC has released the first two minutes of season four’s premiere episode.
Starting with a shot of several nooses, the scene quickly moves to members of the Shelby family being dragged from their prison cells.
How things pan out remains to be seen, but catch the entire episode tonight, Wednesday, 15 November at 9pm on BBC Two.
In the premiere — for which you can read our spoiler-free review here — Tommy Shelby receives a mysterious letter on Christmas Eve telling him the Peaky Blinders are in "danger of annihilation".
The official tease states: "As the enemy closes in, Shelby flees his country house and returns to the streets of Small Heath, Birmingham where a fight for survival begins….”
While the series has seen the Shelby clan dealing with Russians and considering expansion into America recently, the upcoming episodes look set to bring the focus back to Birmingham.
Cillian Murphy said of the fourth series: "In the classic gangster arc, the last season was sort of all about the wealth, the house and all that material stuff. This season is sort of a return to the roots. That's about as much as I can reveal."
New cast members include Adrien Brody and Aidan Gillen. Meanwhile, the Weinstein Company logo will be removed from the upcoming season following allegations against Harvey Weinstien.
