Netflix, which airs Peaky Blinders in the U.S., shared the photo Thursday on its See What's Next account. The picture shows Claflin with a mustache and slicked-back hair in a three-piece suit.

"Sam Claflin has joined #PeakyBlinders Season 5 - FIRST PHOTO," the post reads on Twitter.

Deadline said Peaky Blinders completed its 50th day of filming for the new season Thursday. Claflin plays a charismatic politician who approaches Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) with his bold vision for Britain.

Anya Taylor-Joy and Brian Gleeson will also join the cast in Season 5. Claflin said in a statement in October that he was honored to join the show.

"From Steven Knight's writing to the consistently brilliant production, I couldn't feel more privileged to be invited to join this iconic show," he said.
