Everything to know about the Peaky Blinders movie: The Immortal Man

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, continues Tommy Shelby’s story, expanding the drama into a new cinematic chapter

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man serves as a continuation of the acclaimed BBC series, which ran for six seasons from 2013 to 2022. The film is written by series creator Steven Knight and directed by Tom Harper, with Cillian Murphy returning as the iconic Thomas “Tommy” Shelby.

Set in 1940, the story unfolds in Birmingham during World War II, raising the stakes as global conflict collides with the Shelby family’s ongoing power struggles.

The movie picks up after the events of the series finale, with Tommy emerging from self-imposed exile to confront both external enemies and his own inner turmoil.

Themes of legacy, survival, and reckoning with the past are central, as Tommy faces the question of whether he can protect everything he has built or if the weight of war will finally bring his empire down.

Several familiar faces return alongside Murphy, including Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, and Ian Peck. The film also introduces new characters played by Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Barry Keoghan, and Stephen Graham, adding fresh energy and new threats to the Peaky Blinders universe.

The release plan gives fans two ways to experience the film. The Immortal Man will first debut in select theaters before becoming available to stream globally on Netflix, blending a traditional cinematic experience with the accessibility of streaming.

Steven Knight has described the movie as a natural evolution of the series rather than a simple epilogue, noting that the wartime setting intensifies the drama and deepens the emotional stakes. He has emphasized that while the television series may have ended, the story of the Shelbys is far from over.

Beyond the film, the Peaky Blinders universe is set to continue expanding. A sequel series focusing on a new generation of the Shelby family is already in development, with Cillian Murphy serving as an executive producer.

For fans, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man promises a powerful, gritty return to the world that made the franchise a global phenomenon, honouring its legacy while pushing the story forward into uncharted territory.
