Netflix Will Stream BBC’s ‘Peaky Blinders’ To The U.S.

Word reaches today that Netflix has acquired the North American rights to stream the quite awesome Peaky Blinders from the end of this month. Ahead of the season two premiere of the show, created by Steven Knight (LOCKE, HUMMINGBIRD), season one of the drama will play on the platform from next Tuesday, 30th September. Season two will hit in November.

1919. Birmingham, England. In a town overrun with gangs and guns, one opportunistic criminal will attempt to claim his slice of the pie… and only a ruthless police chief will stand in his way.

Starring Cillian Murphy, Helen McCrory, Annabelle Wallis, Paul Anderson, Iddo Goldberg, Charlie Creed-Miles and Sam Neill, Peaky Blinders traces the enterprising criminals of Birmingham, a city well stocked with quarreling gangs, communist revolutionaries, and relentless authorities — not to mention the IRA.

Tom Hardy has joined the season two cast, as well as Noah Taylor and Charlotte Riley.
