Locals spot actors for brand-new Peaky Blinders series.
Conleth Hill best known for playing Lord Varys was spotted filming for hotly anticipated new Peaky Blinders series today.
Film crews were seen at the popular Birmingham park filming today (Monday, April 27)
The new series has started filming, viewers have noted that Cillian Murphy will not be reprising his role as Tommy Shelby.
For this new series, a new generation of Peaky Blinders have been confirmed, and will be set in the 1950s.
The timeline of the series sequel will pick up after the events that ensue in the World War II-set film.
One onlooker said: "It is great to see Peaky Blinders back and being filmed in Birmingham again. All the costumes look a bit different to what you might consider the usual Peaky Blinders style but as it's set ten years on from the film that's not surprising. All the cast looked pretty relaxed but the scenes looked as intense as ever so it doesn't look to have lost any of its edge.
"I didn't know Conleth Hill had been confirmed as cast either, which is amazing as I'm a huge Game of Thrones fan too."
When speaking about the new series, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight said: “I am thrilled that we are announcing a new era of Peaky Blinders, moving the story to post-war Birmingham in the early 50s.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have Jamie Bell taking the role of Tommy Shelby’s oldest son, Duke, and to have Charlie Heaton also leading the cast. There are more exciting cast announcements to come, and Peaky is on the road again."
