The Peaky Blinders sequel series has unveiled a fresh wave of cast including stars from Game of Thrones and All Her Fault.

Conleth Hill joins as Clemmy Keeler, the fierce patriarch of the Keeler gangster family who rival the Peaky Blinders’ ambition to rebuild Birmingham. Meanwhile, Daniel Monks, who starred opposite Sarah Snook in Peacock hit All Her Fault, will play Detective Inspector Bell.
