Peaky Blinders made a welcome return to our screens recently, with the sixth and final series of the BBC drama beginning in February. The new series has got off to an eventful start, with tensions among the Shelby family reaching new heights.

Though Part One is in the home stretch of its award season campaign, Warner Bros. and Legendary’s Dune Part Two is ramping up its pre-production efforts as sources tell Deadline Florence Pugh is in negotiations to join the cast. While not confirmed, sources say she will play Princess Irulan Corrino, the eldest daughter to Emperor Shaddam Corrino IV. She will join returning cast members that include Timothee Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya and Josh Brolin with director, producer and co-screenwriter Denis Villeneuve also returning.

The final series of Peaky Blinders kicked off on 27 February, and the first two episodes of the sixth season have been filled with drama and plot twists. So far, viewers have watched as tensions have unfolded among members of the Shelby family, as Cillian Murphy takes centre stage once again as Brummie gangster Thomas Shelby. While many actors have returned to reprise their roles in the hit BBC drama, there's also been some new faces introduced for the final series.

Tom Hardy has returned to season six of Peaky Blinders as Alfie Solomons after he was shot in the face by Tommy Shelby in series four. The 44 year old actor, whose character has suffered facial injuries after the brutal shot in series four, is said to 'love' playing the role of the leader of a Jewish gang in the British period crime drama which is set in Birmingham. Meanwhile fans have praised his return to the hit BBC One series with one tweeting: "Tom Hardy’s performance in Peaky Blinders truly deserves an award." But while Tom, who married actress Charlotte Riley in 2014, is very committed to his acting, he also has a very impressive tattoo collection and has 30 inkings on his body.

RUBY Shelby had another worrying vision in the second instalment of the Peaky Blinders' sixth season - and fans think they've cracked the code. Fans were promised the "darkest" season yet of the hit BBC series as the finale plays out over the following weeks - and show creator Steven Knight has certainly delivered.

Tom Hardy’s character Alfie Solomons has made his first appearance in Peaky Blinders season six.Despite having been shot in the face in season four by Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), the season five finale confirmed Solomons was still alive and secretly living in Margate. He didn’t survive without injury though, having gone blind in one eye.In the second episode of season six, Shelby visited Solomons and convinced him to go into business together to sell opium abroad to help “shift the balance of power” against Jack Nelson (James Frecheville).It was Solomons’ preoccupation with opera, however, which provided the character’s standout line: “I always thought opera was just fat people fucking shouting.” You can check out some reactions below.Tom Hardy’s first line in the new season.

PEAKY Blinders fans have gone crazy after spotting one of its former stars Joe Cole in The Ipcress File. Joe is best known for his role as John Shelby in the Peaky Blinders - and viewers watching ITV's latest drama this evening were quick to notice the star.

Peaky Blinders’ Arthur Shelby actor Paul Anderson looks a world away from the tough ‘hardman’ role he plays on the BBC drama. The show has just kicked off its sixth and final series with Cillian Murphy’s character Tommy Shelby’s older brother Arthur becoming a fan favourite in the series, which follows the life of a gangster family living in Birmingham in the early 20th century. As perhaps the most brutal of the Shelby clan, Arthur is known for his intense fighting skills and violent behaviour - including beating someone to death with a hammer and killing a child at a boxing match.

Cillian also mentioned his early family life and how his upbringing helped to bolster his acting career.He explained that there were always books and music in his home growing up, and he was always encouraged to pursue traditional music.He confirmed, however, that he didn’t come from an artistic family, but opportunities were always available.In a February interview with The Observer, Cillian spoke up about how he doesn’t go out very often and doesn’t like it when people bombard him with photographs.He said: "I'm always happy to chat."What I don't like is people surreptitiously taking photographs, which someone said is like the amateur Stasi."It's so f*****g weird.
