Alfie Solomons (played by Tom Hardy) was seemingly shot and killed in the season four finale of P eaky Blinders but tonight’s episode suggested he may not be dead at all. In fact, it was massively hinted he’s about to make a very unexpected return.

After being betrayed by Alfie in season four, Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) shot the London-based gangster and took his dog as his own.

But in last night’s instalment of Peaky Blinders, the MP and razor gang leader name dropped his former associate in conversation with Jimmy McGovern.

“I hear, there needs to be some certainty in the South,” Tommy replied. “Some of my people were attacked by members of the Titanic.”
