The streets of Birmingham are once again buzzing with the return of the infamous Peaky Blinders gangsters. Thanks to the success of the BBC series, Netflix is now set to release a feature film that will delve into the lives of Tommy Shelby and his daring family in a post-First World War England.
The show, which catapulted Cillian Murphy back into the spotlight with his portrayal of the cunning and stylish Tommy Shelby, quickly became a fan favorite. Alongside Murphy, the series featured a host of intriguing characters such as Aunt Polly, played by Helen McCrory, Arthur Shelby, played by Paul Anderson, and Alfie Solomon, played by Tom Hardy.
One of the most interesting aspects of the show was its revival of 1920s fashion, with the iconic gangster outfits of tailored suits, overcoats, and flat caps becoming a trend among fashion enthusiasts.
With the success of the series, it’s no surprise that Netflix decided to create a movie spin-off. The film, titled “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man,” reunites familiar names from the series, with creator Steven Knight penning the script and Tom Harper taking on the directorial duties.
Set to hit selected theaters on March 6, 2026, and premiering on Netflix on March 20, 2026, “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man” promises to continue the gripping narrative of the Shelby family. Filming took place in Digbeth, Birmingham, from September to December 2024.
The movie is set in 1940, during the height of the German Air Force’s bombing raids on Birmingham. As the city faces destruction, the stakes are higher than ever for Tommy Shelby, who is grappling with his own existential crisis.
The cast for the film is star-studded, with Cillian Murphy reprising his role as Tommy Shelby, alongside Rebecca Ferguson as Kaulo, Barry Keoghan as Duke Shelby, and Tim Roth as Beckett. Several actors from the original series, including Sophie Rundle, Stephen Graham, and Ned Dennehy, are also set to return.
However, fans of the series will have to bid farewell to some beloved characters, as certain actors, such as Helen McCrory, Aidan Gillen, and Cosmo Jarvis, will not be making a return due to their characters’ fates in the series.
With a thrilling plot, an all-star cast, and the promise of high stakes and drama, “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man” is shaping up to be a must-watch for fans of the series and newcomers alike.
