OHMYGOSSIP — Fans can expect “lots of twists and turns” in the final season of ‘Peaky Blinders’.
Cillian Murphy, 45, will reprise his role as Birmingham gangster Tommy Shelby in the highly-anticipated sixth and final season of the show and creator Steven Knight has teased that anything could happen.
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, he said: “Expect the unexpected. It’s about Tommy’s redemption, will he or won’t he be redeemed? There’s lots of twists and turns and he’s up against some very, very powerful enemies. But his biggest enemy is himself.”
Knight also spoke about continuing on with the show after Helen McCrory – who played Aunt Polly – died last April.
He said: “The loss of the character is massively secondary but we felt we had to carry on.
“In terms of the character, although Polly is gone, her strength and influence and energy remains throughout the series.”
Meanwhile, Cillian previously admitted he hopes the new season will “live up to the memory” of his late co-star Helen.
Helen died following a secret battle with cancer, and she was unable to film any scenes as Aunt Polly for the upcoming sixth series of the drama.
But Cillian insisted her character’s presence is still “very much felt”.
He said: “I think the whole series is really in tribute to her and to honour her. Her presence and her character’s presence are very much still felt in the series, and it is very much part of Tommy’s journey in the season.
“It’ll be different without her, you know. It simply won’t be the same. I’ve spoken about how phenomenal she was as an actress and as a person and it is an enormous loss to the whole acting community and not just for our show.
“My thoughts are always with Damian [Lewis] and her kids. I just hope that the show will live up to her memory and our memory of her.”
