Peaky Blinders to return for a third season

The Netflix series Peaky Blinders is a fictional crime drama based in the 1900’s in  Birmingham, London. The plot follows the boss of the ruthless Peaky Blinders gang, Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), who will do anything possible to keep his family business and gang afloat.

His “family business” is known to be a gambling ring for the people of Birmingham to illegally bet on horse races. There are currently two seasons of Peaky Blinders, each season consisting of six one hour-long episodes.

Season three is expected to be released in late 2016 (no specific release date). Whether the Peaky Blinders are fixing horse races or fighting rival gypsy gangs, there is always a problem they have to deal with. Junior Brandon Ho responded with great enthusiasm when the new season was announced.

“I think it is a great show because it isn’t like other crime dramas. As a viewer, you get to learn about 20th century London and the gang problem during that time. The creators do a great job of getting the viewer attached and interested to the Shelby family and the Peaky Blinders Gang,” Ho said. “It’s interesting to take sides with the criminals instead of the law. Overall, I think it is a fantastic show and I can’t wait for season three.”
