Peaky Blinders Drives Tourism Revenue for Birmingham

Netflix's six-season crime drama Peaky Blinders starring Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby is widely regarded as a near-perfect binge-worthy series. Set in 1919 Small Heath, the show chronicles the rise and fall of the fictional Shelby criminal family through plot twists involving stolen military weapons and territorial expansion.

Beyond its entertainment value, Peaky Blinders has significantly boosted Birmingham's global tourism profile. A study by OlsbergSPI estimates that connections to film and television could generate £66.97 million in visitor spending across the region. The series featured world premieres for successive seasons and attracted international viewership from countries including the United States.
