Peaky Blinders plans to redeem ruthless gangster Tommy Shelby, making him "good"

Variety

Creator Steven Knight says Cillian Murphy's character will undergo a surprising transformation. Season 7, he says, will "tell a different story, where Tommy Shelby – who begins as this nihilistic, looking-out only for his family person – will be redeemed, and he will become good. I want to take him on that journey from the person we saw (in Season 1), to the person he will become in 1939.” Knight also plans to reinvent the British period drama with modern music from P.J. Harvey, Nick Cave and David Bowie.
