If there is a series that will be difficult to say goodbye to, that is Peaky Blinders. The production of Steven Knight comes to an end with a sixth season that his showrunner described as “the best of all”, while ensuring that a film about the Shelby family will come.

In this fourth installment we will meet Nyborg in the role of the new Minister of Foreign Affairs.

This is how his sister Ada (Sophie Rundle) lets him know: “One of us will not be here for a long time”, she says and thus graphs the black panorama that fiction will show in his departure. “Peaky is back and with a bang. After the forced delay in production due to the Covid pandemic, we find the family in extreme danger and the stakes have never been higher. We think this will be the best season ever and we are sure that our amazing fans will love it”, expressed Knight, proud of what has been achieved.
