Welsh-made BBC drama billed next 'Peaky Blinders' images revealed
A new drama that has been billed as the next Peaky Blinders was filmed in Wales - and new images reveal the incredible scenes that viewers can expect. The six-part drama takes a deep dive into the booming night-life in London of post-World War One Britain.
Hollywood actress Julianne Nicholson, who you may recognise from Mare of Easttown, takes the lead role of Kate Galloway, who establishes herself at the centre of London's exploding club scene as she embraces a life of criminal activities.
The drama was filmed and produced in Wales at Welsh-based studios Bad Wolf - the company behind the likes of Doctor Who, His Dark Materials, I Hate Suzie and A Discovery of Witches. The show is set to hit our screens in 2025. For the latest TV & Showbiz news, sign up to our newsletter
