Sexy Beast filming continues in Aigburth and Liverpool Town Hall

A major international streaming service has taken over more locations in Liverpool as shooting continues on an upcoming drama series.

Over the course of the year, crews from Sexy Beast have been spotted at locations across the city as they film the Paramount+ series, with Liverpool doubling as East London in the 1990s. The drama follows the lives of small-time thieves who get mixed up in the London criminal world and the cast includes James McArdle (Mare of Easttown) and Emun Elliott (The Rig).

Sarah Greene (Normal People), Stephen Moyer (True Blood) and Tamsin Greig (Friday Night Dinner) will also be heading to the city to film. The eight-part series has been written, and will be directed, by showrunner Michael Caleo, one of the lead writers on the iconic HBO series The Sopranos.
