It comes after a movie, starring Irish actor Cillian Murphy, was completed last December.

The sequel series will pick up after the events of the feature film and is to be shot at Digbeth Loc Studios in Birmingham.

It has not been revealed if Oscar-winning actor Cillian, 49 — who played Tommy Shelby in the film and original series, which ended in 2022 - will return.

The new episodes will once again be set in the city, with events taking place in 1953, when Birmingham is building a future out of concrete and steel after the Second World War.
