Peaky Blinders’ CIllian Murphy promises ‘chaos and knocking heads’ for Tommy Shelby in season 6
PEAKY Blinders star Cillian Murphy has promised the beloved gang show will be back "causing chaos" soon.
Cillian, 43, promised they'll be filming as soon as they can after production of the sixth season of the hit BBC series shut down last month due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking on an Instagram Q&A, Peaky Blinders director Anthony Byrne read a message from the Irish actor to fans.
Cillian said: "Sending love and fortitude to Peaky fans everywhere. We will be back as soon as we can, I promise, causing chaos and knocking heads as usual.
"I want to send a special thank you to all our widely talented crew for all their hard work and their talent, for their forbearance and patience during this time."
Anthony gave some insight into what fans can expect from the sixth season which features another time jump close to the start of World War II.
He also confirmed the Garrison Lane pub was getting an overhaul and a new look.
Filming in Manchester halted on day 23 of a 78-day shoot thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, but Andrew was keen to get back to set.
He said: "Rest assured as soon as we can get back out filming, we certainly will."
The show's creator has promised the sixth season of Peaky Blinders will be one of its "best yet".
