Series tips in the style of "Peaky Blinders": These series captivate with gangsters, power games and a dark atmosphere

"Peaky Blinders" has set standards in recent years: rough gangster milieu, complex characters, political background, stylish staging and a soundtrack that hits the nerve of the times. Anyone who has finished the story of the Shelby family and is now looking for new series with a similar flair will fortunately find plenty of strong new material. Here are some recommendations that fans of Tommy Shelby and his gang should definitely watch.

Boardwalk Empire: The Shelbys' American brother

When it comes to series with a historical gangster flair, there's no way around "Boardwalk Empire". The story takes place during the Prohibition era in Atlantic City and revolves around politician and gangster boss Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, who builds up an extensive alcohol smuggling empire. The series combines crime elements, politics, power struggles and elaborate backdrops to create a gripping epic. Similar to "Peaky Blinders", it shows how closely crime and politics are intertwined – only here on the US East Coast. The tone is dark, the characters morally ambivalent and the violence brutally realistic.

Gangs of London: modern gang culture, brutal aesthetics

Anyone who loves the toughness and intensity of "Peaky Blinders" should take a look at "Gangs of London". The series relocates the gangster drama to modern-day London, where ethnic, familial and political groups fight for supremacy in the city. The action sequences are cinematically staged, the power games highly complex and the atmosphere uncompromisingly dark. Although the series is set in the present day, its raw mood is strongly reminiscent of the world of the Shelbys. The family relationships, conflicts of loyalty and inner turmoil of the characters perfectly suit the tastes of all Peaky Blinders fans.

Godless: Western with a Peaky Blinders vibe

At first glance, a western may have little to do with the Birmingham of the early 20th century. But "Godless" conveys a similar sense of lawlessness, toxic masculinity, power struggles and moral gray areas. The miniseries revolves around a notorious gangster who is hunted by his own men after a betrayal and finds refuge in a city full of women. The series impresses with strong characters, intense duels and a melancholy mood that should appeal to fans of Tommy Shelby's inner conflicts.

Sons of Anarchy: modern outlaws, old rules

Even though "Sons of Anarchy" is set in the present day and focuses on motorcycle gangs, it shares many DNA strands with "Peaky Blinders": a charismatic but broken main character, loyalty as the supreme law, violence as a daily tool and a family that is both a strength and a weak point. The series tells the story of Jax Teller, who tries to lead his father's club into a better future – much like Tommy Shelby, who constantly wavers between tradition and change. The dynamics within the gang often seem like a modern version of the Shelby family, only with motorcycles instead of razor blades in caps.

Conclusion: plenty of material for fans of the Shelbys

Whether historical gangsters, modern outlaws or dark political intrigue - there are more series in the style of "Peaky Blinders" than you might think. Each of the series mentioned picks up on elements that make the world of the Shelbys so fascinating: moral gray areas, strong characters, violence, power games and atmospheric worlds. So if you're looking for new series fodder, there's plenty of material for long nights.
