Peaky Blinder fans may be in for a surprise as a series favourite could be making a comeback.
Behind the scenes photos have shown actress Aimee-Ffion Edwards, who plays Esme Shelby, on set while the filming for season six is under way.

Bloodlands was filmed in Northern Ireland.
“I think the audience are going to be like ‘oh!’” says Charlene McKenna, co-lead with James Nesbitt in the BBC crime thriller Bloodlands. “That’s Jed Mercurio not wanting to give too much away. You’re like guessin’ all the time.”
McKenna isn’t giving too much away about the Northern Ireland-set series from Line of Duty/Bodyguard executive producer either for fear of spoilers, something that also applies to the other series she’s a well kent face from, Peaky Blinders. The Irish actor is filming Peaky now in Manchester when we speak on the phone, but we have to wait till later this year for that to air, after Vienna Blood, the Freud and forensics crime drama set in the early 20th century Austrian capital which McKenna filmed during last summer’s lift in lockdown.
