So I want to continue to expand our range even further and reaffirm my commitment to commission the very best drama in the UK.

“Today I’m announcing a mix of contemporary, provocative pieces and surprising stories, with three new titles and two returning series. […] Two of our best writers, Peter Bowker and Steven Knight, have been recommissioned. Family drama The A-Word will return, challenging perceptions of living with autism, and we’ve commissioned two more series of the mesmerising Peaky Blinders for BBC Two.”

We’re both proud of, and grateful for, the BBC’s continued support of the show.”

Creator Steven Knight, who will continue to write all episodes of the series, says: “I am genuinely thrilled at the response to the third series of the show. The prospect of writing series four and five is truly exciting. This is a real passion project for me, and I look forward to telling more stories of the Shelby family.”

Cillian Murphy says:“Tommy Shelby is one of the most intense, challenging characters I’ve had the opportunity to play. I’m particularly grateful that Steven’s original, dynamic writing and the long form series allow me to explore Tommy in depth. I very much look forward to Tommy’s evolution over the next two chapters.”
