Peaky Blinders Creator Reveals How Season 6 Deals With Polly's Absence
Stephen Knight, creator of the hit historical crime drama Peaky Blinders, has revealed how the show’s sixth season will deal with the death of actress Helen McCrory. McCrory, who is also known for her role as Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter series, was cast as the Shelby family matriarch Aunt Polly in the BBC drama, which first aired back in 2013. While it was the ambition of Polly’s nephew, Thomas “Tommy” Shelby (played by Cillian Murphy), that helped steer her family’s rapid ascent up the socio-economic ladder, it was Polly’s indomitable iron will and a sharp mind which ensured the family’s continued survival and steadfast loyalty.
