The backstreets of Manchester were transformed into 1930s Birmingham on Friday afternoon, after Peaky Blinders was spotted filming a dramatic upcoming scene ahead of the next series.
Cillian Murphy was spotted sporting his flat cap as Tommy Shelby in the city's trendy Northern Quarter, although it seems like the BBC may have given away a huge spoiler.
Obviously, don't read on if you don't want to have a huge part of next season potentially ruined for you. Don't say we didn't warn you.
Tommy and the gang were seen filming for a funeral, all wearing solemn looks across their faces, but thankfully it's not for one of the main character's from the past series.

As the coffin was carried through the streets in a horse-drawn carriage, flowers spelling out 'Peter' could be seen inside the cart next to the casket.
While we currently don't have a clue who Peter is at the moment, Tommy was at the funeral so whoever's dead could be close to the Shelby family or could even be a victim of their antics.
The beeb shared a first look at the upcoming series earlier this month, showing gang leader Tommy riding horseback on a gloomy Birmingham backdrop.
What Tommy is doing in the image remains to be seen, but he looks troubled by something as he rides along the dark moors in the picture.
Although, we do know is that Cillian's character is going to be in government, so he's probably got a lot on his plate.
The story will pick up shortly after the financial stock market crash in 1929, focusing on Tommy as he sets his sights on the British government.
Here's the official season five synopsis: "Series five of Steven Knight's crime family saga finds the world thrown into turmoil by the financial crash of 1929.

"Opportunity and misfortune are everywhere. When Tommy Shelby MP (Cillian Murphy) is approached by a charismatic politician with a bold vision for Britain, he realises that his response will affect not just his family's future but that of the entire nation."
Cillian will be joined by Helen McCrory, Paul Anderson, Sophie Rundle, Finn Cole, Kate Phillips and Natasha O'Keefe in season five, who are all reprising their roles in the BBC gangster drama.
