Noah Taylor and Charlotte Riley have joined the cast of Peaky Blinders for series two.

Riley will play an aristocrat who crosses paths with Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) as the gangster "moves into a more exclusive world".



The Edge of Tomorrow actress is engaged to actor Tom Hardy, who also previously signed up to appear in the new Peaky Blinders.

Taylor - who recently appeared on Game of Thrones as Jaime Lannister's captor Locke - will also appear in the second series as a new nemesis for the Peaky Blinders.

Newcomer Harry Kirton will also join returning stars Murphy, Paul Anderson, Joe Cole and Sophie Rundle, having won the role of Finn Shelby as part of an open casting call held in January.

Series two of Peaky Blinders - to be directed by Sherlock director Colm McCarthy - will air on BBC Two in autumn 2014.
