## What Is the New Peaky Blinders Series Actually About?

The new two-season sequel is set in 1953 — following on from the upcoming *Peaky Blinders* movie *The Immortal Man* — and focuses on a city rising from the ashes of the Birmingham Blitz. The story follows the “next generation” of the Shelby family as they navigate the brutal, high-stakes world of post-war reconstruction, where the race to rebuild Birmingham with concrete and steel becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions.

Think Tommy Shelby’s ambition — but now translated into his children and grandchildren fighting over billions in government reconstruction contracts in a bombed-out, opportunity-laden mid-century Britain. The stakes are different, the era is new, but the blood and razor blades? Still very much in play.

## Where Is It Filming & What Did We See?

Production crews from Kudos descended upon Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, for a focused two-day shoot on March 4th and 5th, 2026 — the first day of filming was almost entirely contained inside the historic Grade II-listed Queen’s Theatre, whose grand vintage interior perfectly captures the mid-century aesthetic. On the second day, the action moved to nearby Jenkins Street, where residents were treated to a glimpse of 1950s-era cars and period-appropriate set dressing transforming the neighbourhood into post-war Britain.

Stoke-on-Trent has become a firm favourite for Steven Knight — parts of the original *Peaky Blinders* series were filmed at Middleport Pottery and the same Queen’s Theatre in Burslem, which has been closed for many years. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raju_Ban_Gaya_Gentleman)

## What About the Peaky Blinders Movie First?

Before the sequel series arrives, fans get an appetiser in the form of [*Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peaky_Blinders) — the WWII-era bridging film that premieres globally on Netflix on March 20, 2026. [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raju_Ban_Gaya_Gentleman) With Tommy Shelby’s wartime story finally told on the big(ger) screen, the sequel series will pick up the baton and hand it to the next Shelby generation in the 1950s — two full six-episode seasons, guaranteed. 🎩
