The first trailer for Peaky Blinders series five has been released by the BBC.
While still holding back on the release date of new episodes, the channel posted the clip to its social media channels, writing: ”Power comes at a price. Get ready for the new series of #PeakyBlinders, coming soon to @BBCOne and @BBCiPlayer.”
The new series, from creator Steven Knight, is set in the late 1920s and sees Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby enter the realm of politics and go head to head with Oswald Mosley (Sam Claflin), who later became the leader of the British Union of Fascists.
“There’s the rise of nationalism, populism, fascism and racism,” Knight said at at the show’s London premiere earlier this month, “the huge sweep across the world, and you look at the world now and what I hope people might take from this is what was the consequence of when it happened last time?
“Nine years later there was a war. That’s what happened before and there was this real movement of, ‘We must protect ourselves, foreigners are the enemy.’”
Peaky Blinders series five is expected to premiere on BBC One later this year.
