The First Trailer For Peaky Blinders Season 4 Is Here And It Looks Unreal

We're edging ever closer to finally seeing the fourth season Peaky Blinders, and to whet our whistles we finally have a trailer.

There was a feeling after the third and most recent series of Peaky Blinders that the show had lost its way a little bit, with Tommy Shelby and crew having hit the big time and moved out of the mean streets of Birmingham. Now, though, they're going back to Brum and bringing the whole gang with them.

"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," said star Cillian Murphy to radio station Today FM in his native Ireland.

That isn't to say that the Shelbys were having everything their own way. When we saw them last, a fair few of them had just been arrested, while Tommy's wife, Grace, had been murdered. Now we find them six months on, ready to put the razor blades back in those flat caps and get going again.

The brains behind the show were also proud to announce that some real Hollywood weight will be joining the already stacked cast list. Adrien Brody, only bloody Oscar-winning star of The Pianist Adrien Brody, will be in the new series, as well as Aidan Gillan of Game of Thrones, The Wire, Love/Hate and well, everything, fame.

"Adrien plays the threat to the family and possibly the biggest they'll face," said Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. "Aidan is a sort of, in the face of danger it's like pressing the nuclear button - you get him to help. Let me put it that way. We have been very fortunate to get two really legendary actors. We get a lot of actors who want to be part of [Peaky Blinders] which is great but we try not to make it a 'spot the star' sentiment, and just get actors who are really perfect for the role."

"Tommy's redemption might take a little bit longer. It's the family being forced back together," added Knight, cryptically.

We can't wait it.
