Filming of Army of Shadows Begins at Liverpool Town Hall

Liverpool Town Hall will serve as a filming location for the new Channel 4 thriller Army of Shadows, with production starting on Monday.

The series, which is a six-part adaptation by Ronan Bennett, will utilize the city's civic headquarters to shoot various scenes. The cast includes notable actors such as BAFTA winner Paddy Considine and Academy Award nominee America Ferrera.

Inspired by Jean-Pierre Melville's 1969 film and Joseph Kessel's book, the series explores the theme of resistance during the Nazi occupation of France, reimagined in the context of occupied Great Britain. The project has received support from the Melville family and the Kessel estate.
