Last we heard, Peaky Blinders might not return till late 2017... but now we've got a firm date on when new episodes start filming.
Series creator Steven Knight has confirmed that a fourth series of the gritty BBC thriller will start shooting in March.
"I'm very, very excited because I'm just completing episode six of series four, which again I think is the best yet," he told Deadline. "I'm loving it and it's not like work, it's not like a labour.
"I love doing it, and the boys are coming back and they're loving the scripts, and we start shooting in March."
Knight also insisted that Tom Hardy will be back on the show as gangster Alfie Solomons, who first appeared in the second series back in 2014.
"Of course [he'll be back] – we can't do it without Alfie," he said.
What to Read Next
The third series of Peaky Blinders ended with criminal clan the Shelbys being thrown behind bars, including mob boss Tommy (Cillian Murphy).
"I think his family think that he's betrayed them, and it will be up to Tommy to demonstrate to them that he hasn't betrayed them, and that he has a bigger plan," Murphy said.
"I think he will never stop. Because of what happened to him in the First World War, I think it's never going to stop. He'll just always be this man searching for something.
"I think that even if he achieved all this material wealth and he achieves some sort of position of power… I don't see him retiring with a pipe and slippers, that's for sure."
