The cast for Peaky Blinders' fourth season just keeps on getting bigger and bigger, as it's been announced that Aidan Gillen has now signed up for the BBC Two crime drama.

You'll of course already know Gillen as Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish in Game of Thrones, as well as from roles in The Wire, the UK's Queer as Folk and The Dark Knight Rises.

We don't know who exactly Gillen will be playing in Peaky Blinders as yet, but with a cast that now includes himself and Adrien Brody (plus, y'know, Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy), must-see TV just found a new meaning.

The third season of Peaky Blinders saw Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) reveal the shocking news that the family were to be arrested, although these on-set pictures suggest a different fate for them.

Line of Duty's David Caffrey will be directing the fourth season, which is expected to air later this year.

A fifth season has also already been confirmed (yep, before the fourth has even aired), so it looks like the gang will be around for a good while yet.

So, Samuel L Jackson, you might just get your wish after all.

Peaky Blinders airs on BBC Two in the UK and Netflix in the US.
