‘Peaky Blinders’ Season 5 Air Date, Spoilers: BBC Drops First Teaser Showcasing Explosive Scenes That Excite Fans [WATCH]

“Peaky Blinders” season 5 has been confirmed to move to a new home. It will now air via BBC One and the network recently released the action drama’s first video teaser to give fans a glimpse of what is up ahead when the fifth installment finally airs.

The teaser was only a few seconds long since it is just part of the whole BBC One trailer for its upcoming shows in 2019. Despite this, fans are excited and shocked at the same time for it seems that somebody has died in “Peaky Blinders” season 5.

Plot

What will happen in “Peaky Blinders” season 5? When the fourth installment concluded, Tommy Shelby was voted to be an MP for Birmingham South and his family has finally faced off with Luca Changretta, the mob boss. The story will pick up from this scenario and based on the recent teaser, the fight among the gangsters would escalate.

As can be seen in the video, Tommy’s car was blown up and he looks very distraught as he cradles a body in his arms. The unknown man probably died from the blast but his identity is yet to be revealed when “Peaky Blinders” season 5 airs.

Moreover, as shared by Independent, the fifth installment’s synopsis reads: “The world is thrown into turmoil by the financial crash of 1929. Opportunity and misfortune are everywhere."

In addition, “When Tommy Shelby MP is approached by a charismatic politician with a bold vision for Britain, he realizes that his response will affect not just his family's future but that of the entire nation."

In his previous interview with Birmingham Mail, series creator Steven Knight also revealed that “Peaky Blinders” season 5 will be set in the 1930s when economic depression is gripping England. Aside from this info, the showrunner is tight-lipped on what else can be expected in the series.

"We are going into the 30s now,” he told Birmingham Mail (via Maxim). “There is so much stuff happening, so why not finish the job? The depression and the rise of fascism form part of the storyline."
