Peaky Blinders

In post World War I Birmingham, the Shelby family runs the Peaky Blinders, a razor-sharp street gang with big ambitions. Led by the calculating Tommy Shelby, they expand from betting and protection into higher stakes business and politics. As money and influence grow, so do enemies, from rival gangs to determined lawmen. Stylish, tense, and character-driven, the series explores loyalty, trauma, and the cost of climbing to the top.

Set in 1919 Birmingham, Peaky Blinders follows the Shelby family as they control the streets through illegal betting, protection, and a reputation for violence. Tommy Shelby, a decorated veteran with a cool head and relentless drive, sees an opportunity to push the gang beyond small-time crime into legitimate power. His plans draw the family into shifting alliances, ruthless rivalries, and escalating pressure from authorities sent to clean up the city. Within the Shelbys, loyalty is strong but never simple, as personal grief, ambition, and old resentments shape every decision. The family’s influence spreads from backroom deals to public-facing businesses, blurring the line between respectability and corruption. Each step upward brings higher risks, forcing Tommy and his closest allies to navigate betrayal, honor, and the consequences of violence while trying to secure a future on their own terms.
