The world of the Shelby family has returned with the release of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the highly anticipated continuation of the hit TV series Peaky Blinders.
Fans of the gritty Birmingham crime saga will be thrilled to see the story continue on the big screen, and for those in the North West, there’s an extra reason to watch, as parts of the film were shot across the Liverpool City Region, once again showcasing the area as a major filming location for international productions.
While Peaky Blinders is famously set in Birmingham, the franchise has long relied on Liverpool’s historic streets and architecture to recreate early-20th-century Britain.
For the new film Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, several locations across the Liverpool City Region were used during filming, helping to bring the world of Tommy Shelby back to life.
Here are some of the key locations used during production.
St George’s Hall
One of Liverpool’s most recognisable landmarks, St George’s Hall, once again provided a dramatic backdrop for filming.
The grand neoclassical building has become a favourite among filmmakers thanks to its imposing architecture and historic interiors. Located opposite Lime Street Station, the building sits at the heart of Liverpool’s cultural quarter alongside the Walker Art Gallery and World Museum.
Its grand exterior and sweeping steps make it an ideal stand-in for historic political and civic buildings in period dramas.
St George’s Quarter
Filming also took place around Liverpool’s historic St George’s Quarter, an area known for its impressive Victorian architecture and cobbled streets.
This part of the city centre includes several iconic buildings such as the Walker Art Gallery, World Museum, and Liverpool Central Library, all of which create a striking historic backdrop ideal for period film scenes.
The area’s preserved architecture allows production teams to recreate early 20th-century streets with minimal alterations.
Former Pilkington Watson Street Works, St Helens
Another filming location used during production was the former Pilkington Watson Street Works in St Helens, a large industrial site within the Liverpool City Region.
The historic glassworks site provided the perfect setting for gritty industrial scenes in the film, reflecting the hard-edged atmosphere associated with the Peaky Blinders world.
Industrial locations like this are often chosen for productions set during Britain’s industrial era, helping to recreate authentic backdrops from the early 1900s.
National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port
The National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port, often referred to as the Ellesmere Port Boat Museum, also served as a filming location for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.
The historic dock complex on the Shropshire Union Canal is one of the most complete surviving canal dockyards in the UK. With its Victorian warehouses, narrowboat docks and preserved industrial buildings, the museum provides an authentic setting for scenes depicting Britain’s industrial past.
Its canal basins and historic boatyards perfectly capture the gritty atmosphere often seen throughout the Peaky Blinders world, making it a natural filming choice for the new film.
Liverpool: A Film and TV Favourite
Liverpool has become one of the UK’s most popular filming destinations, with its unique mix of historic architecture, waterfront scenery and adaptable streets.
Major productions filmed in the city include:
- The Batman
- Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
- Doctor Who
The return of Peaky Blinders filming to the region further highlights Liverpool’s growing reputation as a global production hub for film and television.
A Shelby Story With Liverpool at Its Heart
The release of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man marks the long-awaited continuation of the Shelby saga, bringing the world of Tommy Shelby back to audiences around the globe.
And while the story may be set in Birmingham, Liverpool once again plays a starring role behind the scenes, providing the historic streets, industrial settings and grand architecture that help make the Peaky Blinders world feel authentic.
For fans of the series, it’s yet another reminder that the Liverpool City Region remains one of Britain’s most important locations for film and television production.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man will be released at 3 a.m. ET / 12 a.m. PT on March 20, 2026, on Netflix.
