Peaky Blinders' creator, Steven Knight, has also cast The Pianist actor Adrien Brody and Charlie Murphy in the show.

“We have a dream team gathered for Series 4 of Peaky Blinders, coming to us for love of the series which is great. Adrien Brody, Aidan Gillen and Charlie Murphy give us a wealth of talent to work with. And with Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley returning, we couldn’t have hoped for more," Knight said in a press release.

The log of Season 4 reads:

"When he receives a mysterious letter on Christmas Eve, Thomas Shelby realises that the Peaky Blinders are in danger of annihilation. As the enemy closes in, Shelby flees his country house and returns to the streets of Small Heath, Birmingham where a desperate fight for survival begins."
