Sky Atlantic's Tin Star drama filming in Liverpool city centre

Everton 'fans' descended on a street in Liverpool's business district as part of filming for the hit Sky Atlantic show Tin Star.

The extras were dressed in football merchandise and chanted down Fazakerley Street as they carried Everton flags and blue smoke was set off.

Actors playing police officers also kept a watchful eye on the football fans as they walked down the street.

The ECHO understands that filming will be taking place from 8am this morning to 8pm tonight along Fazakerley Street and George Street in the city's business district.

The show stars Hollywood actor Tim Roth , who is known for his work with director Quentin Taratino and appearing in Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and The Hateful Eight.

The London-born actor reprises his role as Jack Worth for the third season of Tin Star.

The actor was spotted filming the show on North John Street back in July wearing dark clothes and was seen talking through the scene with members of the crew as he shot the series.

However today Roth was not spotted during the filming, as the scene focused on the Everton fans.

The highly-acclaimed drama focuses on a Metropolitan Police detective [Tim Roth] who takes over the job of chief of police in a Canadian town.

The first season premiered in 2017 and was well received with the second season airing earlier this year.

Season three will be the final season, and will be set entirely in Liverpool after Roth's character hauled his family to the UK to deal with his past.

Back in July Sky’s Cameron Roach  told Den of Geek in a statement : "We are thrilled to announce a final season of Tin Star.

"The combination of Rowan’s [Joffe] imagination and the central performances led by Tim Roth mark Tin Star as a standout example of British creativity."
