Who is Frances?

Frances Conroy, most recently known for her role as Ms. Munch on American Horror Story: Murder House, has been cast in an upcoming season of BBC One’s hit crime drama series Peaky Blinders. Frances will be playing Pauline Turner – a woman who comes to Birmingham after losing her husband and family during World War I. The exact details of Pauline’s background and character arc have not yet been released. The fifth season is expected to premiere in 2019. Frances has had a long and illustrious career with almost 200 acting credits.

Why She Was Chosen

Pauline Turner was chosen for her role as Frances, a midwife and Polly Gray’s mother. Frances has been described as wonderfully strong, forthright and unapologetic. It appears that Turner will not just be playing a major character in Season 4, but will continue with her role into Season 5, which is currently filming.

There’s some very exciting news out of England today: Oscar-nominated actress Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under, American Horror Story, The Hours) has joined Cillian Murphy and his band of Merry Men in series two of hit show Peaky Blinders. The Hollywood Reporter reports that though details are sparse on her character, it has been confirmed that she will not be playing a member of Shelagh McLeod’s family—which could mean a whole lot more screen time for Tom Hardy.
