Hearts were broken across the nation in 2022 when the explosive finale of Peaky Blinders’ sixth season forced us to bid farewell to the characters we’d found ourselves so invested in for the best part of a decade.
Peaky Blinders premiered in September 2013, introducing viewers to Tommy Shelby (played by Cillian Murphy) as he rose from the street gangs of Birmingham to Parliament, backed by the Peaky Blinders street gang. When the gang comes to the attention of Major Chester Campbell, a DCI in the Royal Irish Constabulary, the wheels are set in motion for adventures through the dangerous underworlds of early 20th-century Britain.
Plans for a feature film in place of a seventh series were in the works before the highly-acclaimed sixth series aired. However, it was in June 2024 that Netflix confirmed the Peaky Blinders film.
Finally, the wait is over, with Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man receiving a theatrical release on Friday 6 March 2026 following its high-profile premiere in Birmingham, before streaming on Netflix from Friday 20 March. But where was the Peaky Blinders movie filmed? Here, we take a look behind the scenes at some of the real-life filming locations.
Pilkington Glass, St Helens
One of the most striking locations in the new movie is Warehouse 47 on the docks of Liverpool, where Beckett and a troop of SS guards house the counterfeit £350m that has been shipped into Britain to cripple the economy. “That particular sequence from a location department point of view was a challenge,” said supervising location manager Richard Hill. “Finding a waterway, a warehouse, a dock… that right combination is always going to be a challenge. We ended up splitting the location between the interior of the warehouse, which we shot in St Helens and the waterway ABP Goole. We found this area that we were able to isolate and shoot for two nights there with some pretty heavy-duty sequences.”
