From the streets of Small Heath, Birmingham, to the kiosks of Bogota, we all live in the world of Peaky Blinders.
Steve Knight's drama about a gang of razor-clad gangsters began airing on the BBC in 2013. Six years later, Cillian Murphy, who plays the protagonist Tommy Shelby, charmed the cover of Rolling Stone Colombia.
The final episode of season five will air Sunday night as Shelby battles fascist Oswald Mosley and a rival Glasgow gang called the Billy Boys.
As Peaky Blinders reaches new levels of viewership, of course thanks to Netflix airing it in 183 countries around the world, it's no wonder that Hollywood's most famous stars are not only contacting the creator, Knight in the hope of becoming a cast .
"We have been contacted by many people who want to participate," he says. ?Brad Pitt, Snoop Dogg, A $ AP Rocky too. I think in season six we will open the door and let some famous actors. It is important to be proficient. We'll get the best actor for the character, as we did with Sam Claflin, who plays Mosley. It's perfect. "
However, Knight says he will not include cameos for short for the general good. ?I don't like it when the audience recognizes a chorus from a previous work and just sees it. I find it distracting. ?
Maybe it refers to Ed Sheeran's appearance on Game of Thrones? Knight says there are "occasional casualties everywhere."
