The long-awaited continuation of the iconic crime saga arrives with Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, a feature film that brings back the world of the Shelby family years after the television series concluded.
Created and written by Steven Knight and directed by Tom Harper, the film reunites audiences with Cillian Murphy in his career-defining role as Thomas “Tommy” Shelby.
Set during the devastating Birmingham Blitz of 1940, the story follows Tommy living in exile four years after the series finale, only to return when a dangerous wartime conspiracy threatens both his family and Britain’s economy.
After premiering in select UK cinemas on March 6, 2026, the film will stream globally on Netflix starting March 20, 2026.
To recreate the gritty wartime atmosphere of the Peaky Blinders universe, production traveled across several historic locations throughout the United Kingdom.
Where was Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man filmed?
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man was primarily filmed in Birmingham, specifically inside the new Digbeth Loc. Studios. Filming also took place across the UK, including Liverpool (St George’s Hall), Bradford, Derbyshire (Calke Abbey), and the Kelmarsh Tunnel in Northamptonshire. Let’s have a look at each shooting location sequence wise.
Digbeth Loc. Studios, Birmingham, England
Located on Montague Street of Digbeth district, the studio served as the primary filming hub for the movie. The surrounding Victorian warehouses, brick industrial buildings and graffiti-tagged streets were recreated as the bombed-out streets of wartime Birmingham.
Several Shelby family scenes and interior sequences were reportedly filmed here, making it one of the most important production sites for the movie.
Gas Street Basin Canals, Birmingham
Another familiar visual feature of the Peaky Blinders universe is the network of industrial canals. The crew filmed scenes throughout Gas Street Basin, situated in the centre of the city.
Narrowboat scenes and atmospheric waterway shots were filmed along these historic canals, continuing the show’s tradition of using Britain’s industrial waterways as dramatic backdrops.
Black Country Living Museum, Dudley
A major portion of the film was also shot at the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley.
The museum has long been associated with the Peaky Blinders franchise and previously appeared throughout the original TV series. Its preserved 19th- and early-20th-century buildings, canals, and workshops provide an authentic historical setting.
Locations within the museum were reportedly used for scenes set at Charlie Strong’s Yard, including industrial docks, iron forges, and worker housing areas. Nearby canal-side areas of Bumble Hole Nature Reserve were also used for additional waterway shots.
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, North Wales
For some of the film’s most visually striking sequences, the production traveled to Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in Wrexham.
At around 126 feet tall, the historic aqueduct transports a narrow waterway over the River Dee valley. The dramatic setting was used for narrowboat scenes that needed height, tension and sweeping landscapes.
Liverpool, England
A number of scenes were filmed in Liverpool, a city frequently employed for period projects due to its robust example of Victorian architecture.
The imposing St George’s Hall served as government buildings and wartime institutions in the film. Its grand steps, prison cells and historic interiors offered an apt setting for dramatic scenes.
Filming also occurred around William Brown Street, where landmarks like the Walker Art Gallery and World Museum contributed to a timeless 20th-century urban feel.
Another industrial venue was the Pilkington Watson Street Works, whose derelict factories and warehouses matched the gritty aesthetic of Peaky Blinders’ world.
National Waterways Museum, Cheshire
Filming also took place at the National Waterways Museum in Ellesmere Port. Its historic canal docks, Victorian warehouses and preserved maritime structures helped present industrial waterfront zones found over the course of the film.
Hartley’s Village, Aintree
A fascinating location that was used for the shooting is Hartley’s Village near Liverpool. The Grade II-listed industrial buildings of the former jam factory provided atmospheric period settings that suited the film’s wartime tone. The site is currently under restoration and is not open to the public.
Calder Abbey, Lake District
Another dramatic historical site used in the film is Calder Abbey near Whitehaven.
This Grade I-listed ruined abbey and manor house served as a haunting wartime location. Scenes were filmed in the nave, stairways, and other sections of the structure during a two-week shoot.
The location’s rugged and abandoned appearance fits perfectly with the film’s darker wartime tone.
Calke Abbey, Derbyshire
One of the film’s most notable settings appears at Calke Abbey, located near Derby. This historic estate was repurposed into Tommy Shelby’s rural hideaway.
The production crews had purposely made the interiors look much more weathered and neglected, while also adding artificial snow in an effort to create a bleak wartime atmosphere.
Scenes with Cillian Murphy and Rebecca Ferguson were shot in several rooms – the schoolroom, kitchen and stable yard.
Little Germany, Bradford
The production also returned to Little Germany, located in Bradford.
This district, famous for its concentration of Victorian stone warehouses, has been used frequently throughout the Peaky Blinders television series. In the film, it doubles as the Shelby brothers’ warehouse district and various industrial storage locations.
Additional scenes were filmed across Leeds to capture more industrial urban settings.
Filming Timeline
Principal photography for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man began on September 30, 2024, and continued until December 2024.
During this period, the production team traveled across multiple UK regions to recreate the bomb-damaged landscapes, factories, canals, and wartime streets necessary for the story’s 1940 setting.
Plot Overview
