The TV show – which ran from 2013 for six series – was known for its stylish production as much as its metal-tipped criminal substance, and featured tunes by many cool bands and artists.

That seems set to continue, as a new song from Grian Chatten, frontman of the influential Dublin rock band Fontaines DC can be heard soundtracking the trailer.

The lyrics to the haunting Puppet say: “How does it feel to be a savage and a beast?”

On Thursday evening, Chatten told BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders that had to resist the urge to shave his head “Peaky-style” during the recording process.

“I got the joy of watching a lot of the scenes over and over again, and it’s a wonderfully layered piece of work,” he said, just ahead of the trailer dropping. “There’s an awful lot of inspiration to bounce back off.

“It’s a really interesting thing to try and not spoil or kind of over-narrate the scene, and allow the pictures to speak for themselves – which is the magic of cinema.”

The production notes suggest another new track from Amy Taylor of Australian rockers Amyl & the Sniffers will also feature in the movie.

Other artists who have helped to shape the somewhat sinister Peaky Blinders sound, including Nick Cave, Lankum and McLusky, will also feature, along with Girl In The Year Above and Chatten, both covering Massive Attack.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’ 1994 track Red Right Hand provided the famous theme tune for the TV series, and we can expect to hear a new version of that.
