Filming for the last series took place in 2022 attracting huge crowds and national attention.

The two new series continue the Peaky Blinders movie story.

Bolton has become a prime location for Netflix, with the town often dubbed the Hollywood of the North.

Major Netflix productions filmed in the beautiful crescent include Toxic Town, Missing You and The Stranger.

And more recently Netflix’s supernatural thriller, The Talamasca, which dropped last year was filmed in the town and across Greater Manchester.

Recently, stars from the eagerly anticipated drama Saviour were spotted on the steps of the old Bolton Magistrates Court.

Set to air on ITV, the legal drama stars Anjli Mohindra, Shaun Parkes and Aidan Gillen, who played ‘Little Finger’ in the hit HBO show Game of Thrones.
