New Delhi: The New Year 2022 kickstarted with the news of Oscar-winner Steven Knight’s gangster drama ‘Peaky Blinders’ return for a final season on digital giant Netflix.
The BBC has released the first trailer of the gang back in action. The intriguing trailer that last for one minute thirty six-second sees Cillian Murphy back in the game with Tommy Shelby, seeking a narrative for the Birmingham-based show to finally put a rest.
The streaming giant is sparking the fresh year on a slightly different pattern from the previous years. Last year, it had delivered back-to-back Netflix original content throughout the 2021. Though this year, the platform will be brimming with the non-original content at the larger scale.
