Get ready, Peaky Blinders fans — the saga isn’t over yet. The hit crime drama is getting a sequel series, and Netflix (alongside the BBC) has already ordered two full seasons. To top that, original star Cillian Murphy will come back — not as Tommy Shelby this time, but as an executive producer. The Guardian+3EW.com+3People.com+3
