A New Look at Peaky Blinders Movie ‘The Immortal Man’ Revealed

The world of Peaky Blinders is heading back to the screen, this time as a full movie called Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.

The film is directed by Tom Harper and written by the show’s creator Steven Knight. Empire magazine recently shared a new look at the project, giving fans a fresh peek at what’s coming.

The movie continues the story from the hit series that ran from 2013 to 2022. Cillian Murphy returns as Thomas Shelby, joined by familiar faces like Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, Ian Peck and Stephen Graham.

New cast members include Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Jay Lycurgo and Barry Keoghan. The film will arrive in select theaters on 6 March 2026 and later land on Netflix on 20 March 2026.

Knight and the cast explained to Empire how the movie picks up years after Tommy Shelby rode off at the end of the show. The story now takes place in 1940, during World War II, with Birmingham being hit by the Blitz.

After all these years, Knight says he wants the movie to wrap up this part of the saga in a meaningful way. He told Empire, “I hope it feels like the end of a novel. It’s the last few chapters of a long novel, where you get to round it off. And prepare people for what comes next.”

Knight didn’t share the exact reason Tommy returns to Birmingham, but hinted at it by saying, “He gets dragged back in by circumstance.” Murphy also talked about stepping back into the role after Tommy’s mysterious exit in the final episode.

He said, “I loved that beautiful ambiguity of him riding off on the horse, and he’s gone, and we don’t know where he’s gone to, but he’s back in the Gypsy world. Now here he is existing in whatever way that he can against the backdrop of World War II. That’s very elegant bookmarking of a story.”
