Set in Birmingham in 1940, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man returns to the world of the Shelby family as Europe stands engulfed in World War II. The film opens with Tommy Shelby emerging from a period of self-imposed exile and stepping back into a city scarred by bombing, uncertainty, and political tension. With both his family’s future and the fate of the country hanging in the balance, Tommy faces a reckoning shaped as much by external threat as by the consequences of his own past decisions.

The story places Tommy at a crossroads. Drawn into covert wartime missions inspired by real events, he navigates shifting alliances and new dangers while confronting the legacy he has built over years of power, violence, and survival. The stakes extend beyond criminal enterprise, tying personal consequence to national pressure as Britain fights for stability. The narrative centers on choice: whether Tommy confronts what he has become or allows everything he built to collapse under its weight.
Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy reprises his role as Tommy Shelby, carrying the character from television into a feature-length format. The film marks Murphy’s return to one of his most recognized roles, now reframed within a wartime setting that expands the scale of the story.
Directed by Tom Harper and written by Steven Knight, the project continues the creative partnership that shaped earlier chapters of the Peaky Blinders universe. Knight’s script builds directly on the events of the original series while shifting the tone toward a more expansive cinematic structure. Harper’s direction positions the film as an epic crime drama, grounded in historical pressure.
The cast brings together returning figures and new faces. Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, Ian Peck, and Stephen Graham return in their established roles, maintaining continuity with the series. Joining them are Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Jay Lycurgo, and Barry Keoghan, whose arrivals introduce new forces into Tommy’s orbit.
Behind the scenes, production brings together long-standing collaborators. Producers include Guy Heeley, Cillian Murphy, Steven Knight, and Patrick Holland, with executive producers Andrew Warren, Caryn Mandabach, Jamie Glazebrook, Tom Harper, and David Kosse overseeing the project.
The film follows the conclusion of Peaky Blinders, which aired from 2013 to 2022 and established the Shelby family as one of British television’s most recognizable crime dynasties. Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man will open in select cinemas on Friday, March 6, 2026, before arriving on Netflix on Friday, March 20, 2026.
