Cillian Murphy returns as Tommy Shelby in ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’ teaser

Netflix has officially unveiled the first teaser for ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’, marking the long awaited return of the Shelby family and confirming that Cillian Murphy is once again stepping into the role of Tommy Shelby. The release follows weeks of speculation after a leaked teaser circulated online, but this official footage offers clearer insight and raises the stakes far higher for fans of the series.

Set several years after the events of the television finale, the teaser wastes no time re establishing the ruthless tone that defined the original show. Tommy is seen back in action, armed, composed, and surrounded by familiar danger. While the leaked teaser focused largely on atmosphere, the official version reveals more narrative detail, including heightened violence, political tension, and a sense that old enemies are far from finished with the Shelbys.

Murphy previously addressed his return by saying “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me,” a sentiment that now feels fully realised. His performance in the teaser suggests a man shaped by war, loss, and power, yet still driven by unfinished business. The footage leans into the mythos of Tommy Shelby while introducing a heavier emotional weight, hinting that this chapter will test him in ways the series never fully explored.

The film reunites Murphy with creator Steven Knight and director Tom Harper, both of whom were central to shaping the visual identity of the original show. Long time cast members Sophie Rundle, Stephen Graham, and Ned Dennehy also return, while new additions such as Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan, Tim Roth, and Jay Lycurgo signal an expansion of the world and its conflicts.

‘Peaky Blinders’ first premiered in 2013 and concluded in 2022 after six seasons, becoming one of the BBC’s most internationally recognised dramas before Netflix carried it globally. The film continuation has been positioned as a reward for loyal viewers rather than a reboot, with Knight previously stating that the story demanded a cinematic scale.

The teaser confirms that ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’ will release in select cinemas on March 6, before arriving on Netflix on March 20. With its official debut now out in the open, the film appears ready to deliver a final reckoning that is louder, bloodier, and emotionally heavier than anything the series has attempted before.
