There’s been plenty of chatter and unofficial confirmations. But after years of headlines, Netflix’s Peaky Blinders movie – subtitled The Immortal Man and starring Academy Award-winning actor Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby OBE – is finally almost upon us.
“It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me,” said Murphy, who is also onboard as a producer.
“It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with [series creator] Steven Knight and [director] Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans.”
Steven Knight, who has penned the screenplay and served as a producer, added: “I’m genuinely thrilled that this movie is about to happen. It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story.”
“No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.”
Here’s everything we know so far about Netflix’s Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.

Has the Peaky Blinders movie been confirmed by Netflix?
As outlined above, yes: not only has Netflix confirmed that all systems are go for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man – we now have a teaser trailer.
Additionally, season 1 director Tom Harper (Heart of Stone, The Aeronauts, War & Peace) has revisited BBC’s hit crime drama by helming the feature-length project.
“When I first directed Peaky Blinders over 10 years ago, we didn’t know what the series would become, but we did know that there was something in the alchemy of the cast and the writing that felt explosive,” he said in a press statement.
“Peaky has always been a story about family – and so it’s incredibly exciting to be reuniting with Steve and Cillian to bring the movie to audiences across the world on Netflix.”

But that’s not all…
Anyone who was less than satisfied with the Peaky Blinders finale (which aired back in 2022) will be glad to hear that in addition to the movie, Netflix is making it up to you with two spin-offs.
In late 2023, Bloomberg reported one of these spin-offs would be set in Boston during the middle of the 20th century (a few decades after the events of the original series).
The other would be centred upon Shelby clan matriarch Polly Gray. Given the passing of the character’s actress, Helen McCrory, we can only assume this would take the form of a prequel delineating her rise to prominence.
This falls in line with the earlier sentiments of Steven Knight, who previously stated he’d be willing to keep the BAFTA-winning crime drama’s cinematic universe alive with “shows related” to the main story.
Knight did also state, however, that should such projects go ahead, he’d adopt an extremely hands-off approach; instead choosing to “pass on the baton” to another creative with a vision.
Elsewhere, the British entertainment creative – who has been keeping himself busy with everything from SAS: Rogue Heroes and several other period dramas (i.e. one about the rise of Ferrari; another British crime drama starring Stephen Graham) to Denis Villeneuve’s James Bond film – stated, “the story is not yet over.”
“Huge thanks to our incredible fans for the past ten years. Here’s to the next ten.”
What will the Peaky Blinders movie be about?
The official synopsis for The Immortal Man is as follows:
Birmingham, 1940. Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby (Murphy) is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet. With the future of the family and the country at stake, Tommy must face his own demons, and choose whether to confront his legacy, or burn it to the ground.
“It was always Britain between the wars – how the lesson from one war was not learned and was repeated,” Steven Knight explained of the original series to Empire.
“It’s also the end of empire: we enter the Second World War and by the end of it, there is no empire, really.”
“I think of this sixth series as the end of the beginning.”
Knight told Esquire: “The film, I know exactly what it’s about. And I know what two stories it’s going to tell. What will happen after that, I want that to depend on the film. For all we know somebody is going to pop out… I think I know who it’s going to be.”

Do we know the Peaky Blinders movie cast members?
Initially, there were some doubts surrounding whether Cillian Murphy would reprise his role as Tommy Shelby OBE now that he’s won an Academy Award for Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer (along with doubts surrounding the long-discussed Peaky Blinders movie, period).
Thankfully, both have since been officially locked in.
Cillian Murphy himself had consistently expressed an interest in the Peaky Blinders movie – on the condition that it’d be of a certain standard and not just cheap fan service for those who enjoyed the hit BBC/Netflix crime drama (“It has to be right.”).
“If there’s more story there, I’d love to do it,” he explained to Rolling Stone back in 2022.
“Steve Knight wrote 36 hours of television, and we left on such a high. I’m really proud of that last series. So, it would have to feel legitimate and justified to do more.”
Clearly, the talented Mr Knight has fulfilled the criteria. And attracted some A-list talent in the process, including:
- Rebecca Ferguson (Dune, Mission: Impossible)
- Barry Keoghan (Saltburn, The Banshees of Inisherin)
- Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction, Lie To Me, The Hateful Eight)
Other names you can expect include the following:
- Sophia Rundle as Ada Thorne (nee Shelby), Tommy’s sister and newly-crowned family head
- Ned Dennehy as Charlie Strong
- Stephen Graham as Hayden Stagg
- Packy Lee as Johnny Dogs
- Ian Peck as Curly
- as well as Jay Lycurgo
Yet another fan-favourite character there’s room for is Tommy’s fellow crime boss (and the closest thing he has to a friend) in Alfie Solomons, portrayed by the one and only Tom Hardy.
Alfie is canonically still alive despite all that business towards the end of season 4 and season 5 in Margate; his rather limited on-screen presence throughout season 6 was due to Hardy’s professional availability.
Hopefully, we’ll get a glimpse of him for this one.
When is the Peaky Blinders movie release date?
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man will release in select theatres on March 6th, 2026, before arriving to Netflix streaming queues on March 20th, 2026.
