On November 14, the Mayor of West Midlands visited the set of "Peaky Blinders" at Digbeth Loc. Studios. This visit was part of Netflix's broader investment in the region.

Richard Parker, Mayor of West Midlands, stated: "The impact Peaky Blinders has had on audiences at home and abroad has been incredible and it has put our region on the international stage. So Netflix’s commitment to the show and the West Midlands is not only a vote of confidence in Steven Knight’s new studios but also in the talent of local people working in our TV and film sector."

Steven Knight, writer, creator, and producer of "Peaky Blinders," expressed his enthusiasm: “I am so thrilled to be welcoming the Peaky Blinders home to Birmingham and my own Digbeth Loc. Studios. The Peaky movie is being shot in the heart of Digbeth, which was the stomping ground of the real Peakies a hundred years ago."

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy highlighted job opportunities: "Film and TV offer so many great job opportunities, but while talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. This government is determined to work with the industry to change this."

Anne Mensah, VP of Content UK at Netflix, added: “We’re thrilled to be able to film parts of Peaky Blinders...in Birmingham at Digbeth Loc. Studios and across the West Midlands.”

Over recent years, several Netflix productions have been filmed in the Midlands area. Beyond filming commitments, Netflix plans to nurture local talent through initiatives like IGNITE Your Creativity.

Netflix's investment extends across various regions in the UK. The company invests approximately $1.5 billion annually in UK-made shows.
