The BBC drama 'Hamburg Days', chronicling the Beatles' early years in Germany, has started shooting on location in Liverpool's city centre.
BBC has kicked off production of its new drama series "Hamburg Days", which will trace the Fab Four's formative period in the German club scene. The first scenes were captured on the streets and historic venues of Liverpool's city centre, chosen for its maritime ambience that echoes the band's early touring routes.
The six‑part series is being produced by the broadcaster's drama department in partnership with independent UK filmmakers. While exact broadcast dates have not been confirmed, the project is slated for a 2025 release on BBC platforms, aiming to blend archival material with dramatized storytelling.
The launch comes as a rival Beatles biopic is currently filming in London, underscoring renewed interest in the band's legacy across the entertainment industry. Both projects highlight the enduring cultural impact of the Liverpool quartet, though BBC's "Hamburg Days" will focus specifically on the Hamburg years that shaped their sound.
