The long-awaited Peaky Blinders movie has arrived!
Cillian Murphy’s hit period drama series first aired on BBC Two way back in 2013, telling the story of a crime family in Birmingham, England, in the early 20th century.
Following the conclusion of the show’s sixth season in 2022, rumours began to swirl of plans for a feature-length outing and filming began in September 2024.
Titled Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the movie opens in select cinemas today, before streaming on Netflix later this month.
Watch the official trailer here:
Irish actor Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) is of course back as the iconic Tommy Shelby, alongside returning cast members Sophie Rundle, Stephen Graham, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, and Ian Peck.
They’ll be joined by Peaky newcomers Rebecca Ferguson (Dune), Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction), Jay Lycurgo (War of the Worlds), and Barry Keoghan (Saltburn).
Watch a clip introducing Keoghan as the character of Duke Shelby here:
The Immortal Man brings us back into the world of Peaky Blinders in 1940.
Amidst the chaos of World War II, Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet, the synopsis tells us.
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.
“Tommy Shelby was never destined to be a normal, mortal man,” the synopsis teases ominously.
With six seasons of Peaky Blinders airing in its original TV run, creator Steven Knight has helpfully selected just three essential episodes to catch up on before watching the new movie – although you could just binge all 36 hours of the show if you’re a true fan.

Next up for Steven Knight is the job of writing the 26th James Bond movie, which is expected to begin production in 2027.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man will be available to watch on Netflix from Thursday 20 March if you don’t fancy going to the cinema to see it.
It was announced last autumn that the film will be followed by another two seasons of Peaky Blinders on the BBC and Netflix.
“The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel and it will be a hell of a ride,” promised creator Steven Knight.
Season 7 and Season 8 will premiere in a couple of years’ time.
