When Does "Peaky Blinders" Season Two (2014) Take Place?
"Peaky Blinders" season two is a crime historical fiction television series showran by Steven Knight that released October 2nd, 2014. So when is "Peaky Blinders" season 2 set?
It takes place in the year:
We know this because a telegram sent to Thomas "Tommy" Shelby at the end of season 2 episode 1 is postmarked "BIRMINGHAM 25 FE 22" representing February 25th, 1922 AD. So it is certainly February of 1922 AD at the start of the season.
1922 AD
We know this because a telegram sent to Thomas "Tommy" Shelby at the end of season 2 episode 1 is postmarked "BIRMINGHAM 25 FE 22" representing February 25th, 1922 AD. So it is certainly February of 1922 AD at the start of the season.
Furthermore, the 1919 AD prologue is immediately followed by a time setting title card reading: "TWO YEARS LATER". "Peaky Blinders" season one (2013) takes place in December of 1919 AD so season two opens around (but not exactly in) December of 1921 AD.
12.1919 + 2 = 12.1921.
The story's climax is at the real-world racing event Derby Day at Epsom Downs, which was held for 1922 AD on May 31st, 1922 AD. So it's definitely May of 1922 AD at the end.
Additionally, the season 2 premiere includes a prologue that replays and completes the very last scene from the end of season one, so it's December of 1919 AD at this point.
