Game of Thrones star Aidan Gillen has joined Steven Knight's award-winning Peaky Blinders cast, along with Happy Valley and The Last Kingdom actress Charlie Murphy.

It comes as Season 4 of the BBC Two period gangster drama begun shooting last week in Liverpool.

Charlotte Riley is also set to return as May Carleton, the champion horse trainer and former lover of Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby.

Riley last appeared in Season 2, which was left on a cliffhanger on who Tommy would choose as a bride.

That was quickly resolved in the first episode of Season 3 when the conflicted gangster married Grace Burgess.

Creator Steven Knight said: "We have a dream team gathered for Series 4 of Peaky Blinders, which is great.

"Adrien Brody, Aidan Gillen and Charlie Murphy give us a wealth of talent to work with.

"And with Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley returning, we couldn't have hoped for more."

In previous series a bulk of the filming was done on set here in the Midlands at Dudley's Black Country Living Museum.
