Peaky Blinders season 3 trailer: First teaser sees Tommy back and confirms release date

'The things I do, I do for my family.'

It's finally happening! The wheels are in motion on promo for Peaky Blinders season 3, which premieres on BBC Two in May.

As is the way these days, the first teaser trailer is unfortunately only 15 seconds long, but you can expect a full-length one very shortly.

There's not much to glean here, the teaser showing a battered and bruised Tommy Shelby (as ever), saying: "The things I do, I do for my family."

The official release date has now been announced

Yesterday, we got a new Shelby family portrait, along with confirmation from the BBC that the first episode will air in May (though they weren't more specific).

Back in February meanwhile, we brought you the first picture of Paddy Considine, who has joined the show as a nefarious priest.

The synopsis for the new season is as follows:

‘Season 3 will see Tommy pulled into the glamorous and dangerous world of international intrigue in 1920s Britain, putting his entire organization and family at risk, and forcing him to question everything about his own ambitions and desires.’

Get excited, cast member Finn Cole has promised that the new episodes are "good as f*ck".
