Netflix has confirmed a connection between Peaky Blinders and Fool Me Once, with the same location being used for filming.
The respective shows may be set over 100 years apart, but the streaming service revealed on Instagram that Arley Hall in Cheshire had been used for both series.
"They really thought they could fool us with tommy shelby's house 👀" read the caption, with a composite photo showing how the building was used across the two shows.

The comments were filled with responses on the property, with one remarking that the popular filming location has also been seen in more dramas, including recent scenes in Hollyoaks.
Speaking to Creative England's Filming in England website, Arley's general manager Bridge Roberts said: "Arley Hall was thrilled to be chosen as one of the main locations for the new Netflix drama Fool Me Once.
"Filming took place in several locations including the formal gardens, the Hall (interior and exterior) and the grounds and roads at Arley from April through to July."
Bridge added that the team were "thrilled to meet Joanna Lumleywho is as lovely in real life as she is on our screens, and she was particularly interested in the history of Arley and the Hall in which she was filming".
She said that filming Fool Me Once "was particularly enjoyable as the crew were all lovely... We are all really looking forward to seeing the series on screen and spotting Arley."
Peaky Blinders may have ended, but Fool Me Once is currently enrapturing viewers with its central mystery, which follows Maya (Michelle Keegan) as she begins to suspect that her deceased husband (Richard Armitage) may not be dead after all.

The eight-part series is based on Harlan Coben’s 2016 novel, and the author recently spoke about Keegan's performance, saying: "She's terrific. She's also just a great person, but to have her as your number one and be able to bring, every day, something positive to the set, everyone loved her.
"She's exactly what you think she's going to be. She's really great. I knew a bit about her beforehand, but obviously I don't know her as well as my British counterparts.
"I took a deep dive when we were discussing who to play the role, and she really delivered – she works so hard and she's also just a delight on set."
Fool Me Once streams on Netflix.
