There is no official announcement as of how the series will proceed without Helen.

The executive producer of ‘Peaky Blinders’ Caryn Mandabach shared with the ‘Deadline’ about Helen’s demise saying, “When Steve first conceived of the character of Polly, he said that if something should happen to Tommy, Polly would run the business. Only an actress with the depth of humanity that Helen possessed could have taken on that mantle. In truth I wish that Helen could have run the world’s business, because she was that cool.”

Helen McCrory was famous for her roles in the superhit drama series ‘Peaky Blinders’ and ‘Harry Potter’ films.
