The secret is out. Fans of the iconic BBC drama can now discover the key British filming locations used for the highly-anticipated Peaky Blinders movie, titled 'The Immortal Man'. Set for release later this year, the film promises to deliver an explosive new chapter for the Shelby family.
From Small Screen to Silver Screen
While the original television series was famed for its gritty portrayal of post-WWI Birmingham, its filming often took place across Northern England. Locations in Liverpool, Manchester, and Yorkshire stood in for the Midlands, alongside period sites like the Black Country Living Museum in Dudley.
The upcoming film continues this tradition. Although the story remains rooted in Birmingham, production has once again utilised a diverse range of spots across the country to recreate the era. Creator Steven Knight has teased the film's intensity, stating: “It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.”

Notably, star Cillian Murphy, reprising his role as the formidable Tommy Shelby, was photographed filming in the Black Country, heightening anticipation for the film's 2026 debut.
A Nationwide Peaky Blinders Legacy
The revelation of these locations underscores the show's significant impact on the UK's cultural and filming landscape. The use of historic urban centres and industrial landmarks continues to be a hallmark of the production, blending storytelling with the nation's architectural heritage.
