Tommy Shelby is back on television! Rather, he will be back on television March 20, 2026, on Netflix. And this time, Shelby (Cillian Murphy) and the rest of the Peaky Blinders will also be in theaters: Netflix is giving the Peaky Blinders movie a theatrical release, albeit a limited one. As Netflix is sometimes, selectively wont to do, the Peaky Blinders film will get a two-week theatrical head start beginning on March 6.
As if that wasn’t exciting enough to stand out on an already big-news Netflix day, we now have a title and the full plot line for the film (and some pretty sweet key art at the bottom of this post).
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is set in Birmingham in 1940.
“Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet,” the official synopsis reads. “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. By order of the Peaky Blinders…”
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man was written by Peaky Blinders series creator Steven Knight and will be directed by Tom Harper. The title refers to the fact that Shelby lives on beyond the series. Peaky Blinders ended with Shelby faking his own death and riding off on a white horse. The symbolism of that horse’s color is completely overriden by the bloody below poster art.
In addition to Murphy, the movie also stars Rebecca Ferguson (Dune, A House of Dynamite), Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs, The Hateful Eight), Sophie Rundle (After the Flood, Gentleman Jack), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn, The Banshees of Inisherin) and Stephen Graham (Adolescence, Boiling Point).
A little further down the call sheet are Ned Dennehy (Culprits, The Peripheral), Packy Lee (Blue Lights), Ian Peck (His Dark Materials, Robin Hood) and Jay Lycurgo (Steve, Half Bad: The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself).
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man will be produced by Murphy, Knight, Guy Heeley and Patrick Holland, and executive produced by Harper, Andrew Warren; Caryn Mandabach; Jamie Glazebrook and David Kosse.
