Stephen Graham Finally Joins The Cast of PEAKY BLINDERS
I always thought that Stephen Graham (Snatch, The Irishman, Boardwalk Empire) would fit perfectly in BBC/Netflix’s Peaky Blinders series. Well, he’s been cast in the gangster drama and I’m surprised it took them so long! But, they finally have the right character for him to step into.
Graham recently shared the news on the Pound For Pound podcast, saying, “I was supposed to be starting Peaky Blinders but that has been put on hold indefinitely. My agent spent a lot of time putting that together.”
Obviously, he’s been wanting to get in on the Peaky Blinders action if his agent was putting a lot of time into making it happen. Unfortunately, he didn’t offer up any details on the character he plays, but I’m looking forward to seeing what he ends up bringing to the series in Season 6!
Peaky Blinders‘ Instagram page shared a message from star Cillian Murphy last week, in which the actor thanked the show’s crew for their “forbearance and patience” during the shutdown. He also said, “We will be back as soon as we can, I promise, causing chaos and knocking heads as usual.”
While we will have to wait a little longer for Season 6 to get made, I’m looking forward to seeing how this story will continue.
