Filming for Peaky Blinders season six is currently underway in Liverpool, England.

Over the past few weeks, Byrne has been sharing updates online teasing the most epic season of Peaky Blinders yet.

Berghain is a world-famous nightclub in Berlin, Germany, often known as the 'world capital of Techno'.
The club is located in a 1953-built power plant that was abandoned in the 1980s.
In the photograph, Tommy is standing in a dark red room and what appears to be a set of cell bars or a grilled, metal gate can be seen in the background.
Although the location for the photo is tagged as "A Secret Location" Bryne has revealed in the caption the photograph may have been taking in Berghain in Germany.
He captioned the post: "On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man in a dusty black coat with A red right hand. Tommy goes to Berghain..!"
The fact filming may be taking place in the famous Berlin location has raised hopes amongst fans Tommy will visit Germany in the final series of Peaky Blinders.
There is the possibility, Tommy could visit the German capital in a bid to take down Oswald Mosley (Sam Claflin) once and for all, by going undercover and infiltrating the Nazi party.
After all, Tommy's arch-nemesis is British politician Sir Oswald Mosley who went on to become the Leader of the British Union of Fascists (BUF) in 1932.
The real Mosley was also a close friend of Hitler after meeting in 1934.
Hitler was even a guest of honour at Mosley's wedding to Diana Mitford.

With the series ending with the outbreak of World War Two and the first air-raid siren in Britain, the final series is likely to touch on the rise of the Nazi party and fascism in Europe.
Hitler came to power in 1933, becoming the Führer in 1934. This means the timeline of Hitler's rule and the final series of Peaky Blinders does tie in quite nicely.
While nothing has been officially confirmed, it will be hard to ignore if creator Steven Knight sticks to the history books.
In the series five finale, Tommy failed to assassinate Mosley after his plans were sabotaged.
Season six could see Tommy take another route and take out Mosley using his own political beliefs.
Oswald Mosley actor Sam Claflin also gave some hints about the direction he hopes his character will be going in when he spoke to UPROXX in October 2019.
He said: “Not long after the 30s, he married Lady Diana Mitford, who herself was quite a notorious human being."
He continued: “Their wedding was at Joseph Goebbels’ summer house, one of the nastiest Nazis ever, and Adolf Hitler was in attendance, so that is a life event I would like to portray on Peaky Blinders.
“Tommy Shelby and Hitler in a room together would be quite eventful.”
