Superstar Tom Hardy has joined the second season of British gangster drama series Peaky Blinders. Now that should make the show popular outside Europe!



Peaky Blinders is very similar to HBO's Boardwalk Empire. Most fans argue that it's even grittier and darker. The series is set shortly after World War I and tells the story of a real-life gang (the Peaky Blinders) and its leader Thomas Shelby, played by Cillian Murphy (Inception). Hardy is reportedly joining as an important player in the criminal world, and Tommy's possible business partner (or enemy?).

Revealed by "Peaky Blinders" Twitter fans, and confirmed by our sources, Tom Hardy is joining season two of the show. Damn. He'll be playing "a charismatic leader who presents a unique opportunity to Tommy," and it would seem that following "Locke," Hardy and the film and show's writer Steven Knight are getting on quite famously. And even though they've done two Christopher Nolan films together—"The Dark Knight Rises" and "Inception"—we presume Hardy and Murphy will finally get to share some significant screen time together on the show. Either way, nice casting—season two will air later this year, probably in the fall.
