Peaky Blinders is officially returning with a new feature film, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, continuing the story of Tommy Shelby four years after the series concluded on Netflix. The film is written by series creator Steven Knight and directed by Tom Harper, who previously helmed episodes of the original series.
Set in 1940 against the backdrop of World War II, The Immortal Man follows Tommy Shelby, played once again by Cillian Murphy, as he is drawn out of self-imposed exile to confront what may be his most consequential reckoning yet. According to the film’s synopsis, the future of both the Shelby family and the country hangs in the balance as Tommy is forced to confront his past, his legacy, and the cost of survival in a world at war.
Murphy, who recently won an Academy Award for Oppenheimer, said returning to the role felt unfinished. “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me,” he noted in a statement released alongside the teaser. Steven Knight has described the film as an “explosive chapter” in the Peaky Blinders saga, positioning it as a wartime continuation rather than a quiet epilogue.
The cast includes returning and new faces, with Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan, Tim Roth, Sophie Rundle, Stephen Graham, and others joining Murphy. The film is produced in association with BBC Film and continues Netflix’s strategy of extending marquee series through standalone features.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man will debut in select theaters on March 6, 2026, before arriving on Netflix on March 20, 2026.
