PEAKY BLINDERS Season 3: Filming starts in Birmingham Sept 10
Is the entire cast returning? Tom Hardy? Anyone new?
Knight: Yes, Tom is coming back. We have new big roles that are written and have enormous interest from really good people. We’re hoping to land some good names. The response from everyone and people in the business has been unbelievably good, so we’re in a good place for approaching people who wouldn’t normally do this sort of thing.
How was the dynamic different, if at all, on Season 2 with the new cast members? You’ve worked with Tom before…
Cillian Murphy: I think it is a tribute to the show and the writing that it can attract the caliber of actor like Tom Hardy. It was great to catch up with him and work with him again, he and I are pals of old and obviously he has worked closely with Steve Knight so it very much kept the family vibe of the show going. Hopefully in season 3 we will be introducing some new characters again through some exciting new actors.
CANNOT WAIT
