The trailer for the second series of BBC Two's Cillian Murphy-starring period crime drama Peaky Blinders is to premiere at a football match in the UK this weekend.

The BBC has announced that the trailer will be screened at half-time during Birmingham City's home game against Leeds United on Saturday September 13.

Peaky Blinders is made and set in Birmingham, with the BBC saying the trailer premiere is a "thank you" to Birmingham City fans who designate "specific away matches as Peaky Blinder Days – dressing up in the fashions of the gang and forming their own chant". 

The second series of Peaky Blinders sees Murphy and co-star Helen McCrory joined by new cast members Tom Hardy and Noah Taylor.

The BBC says the second series will "see the Shelby family expand their empire South and North while maintaining a stronghold in their Birmingham heartland".

Peaky Blinders returns to BBC Two in early October.

Watch out for a Peaky Blinders interview with Cillian Murphy on RTÉ TEN in the coming weeks.
