However, the outbreak of coronavirus COVID-19 stopped productions on television series around the world.
As a result, the decision was made to halt filming on season six indefinitely.
In the recent Q&A, Byrne gave viewers an update on what was going on as well as hinting at some big changes for the show.
He revealed how if they were filming at the moment, they would have taken production up to Manchester at this point.
He said: “There’s a beautiful location in Manchester and I might post a picture of it later.
“We were going to go there and build and create a new Garrison Lane, China Town and Small Heath.
“And it was all going to be contained in this area in Manchester which always reminded me of Brooklyn.”
This news about a new location comes after Byrne also posted a picture of the newly redesigned Garrison pub.

During the live session, Byrne also gave an update about when the series could be released.

“I saw some very good responses from other fans saying that I wouldn’t be able to answer any of those questions – and I can’t because we don’t have any answers right now.
“But I can assure you that as we’re in a position to get back up and running, we will do so.
