The Trailer Has Landed For Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

It’s been four years since the sixth season of Peaky Blinders aired on the BBC – and as with any brilliant TV show, fans were saddened to see the end. Indeed, at the time we thought that was the last we’d see of Tommy Shelby and the gang. But the story isn’t over yet: Netflix has acquired the rights for a spin-off movie, and the BBC is launching a sequel series, following the family’s exploits post-WWII.

Until then, with the trailer here and the release date on the horizon, here’s everything you need to know about Netflix’s Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man: Plot, Cast, Release Date & More

In June 2024, Netflix revealed it had snapped up the rights to a Peaky Blinders film before we even had an inkling that talks were underway. At the time, director Tom harper commented: ‘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. 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.’

The fact that lead star Cillian Murphy would return to the role was big news: the star had just bagged the Oscar for Best Actor for his starring role in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer (2023). Fittingly, he has attracted some real Hollywood heavyweights to the project – more on that below…

The Plot

This is one thing that we’re not entirely certain of yet, with the team keeping the details firmly under wraps. What we do know is we will be back on the lawless streets of Birmingham and that it will be pretty fiery, all backdropped by WWII.

‘It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story,’ writer Knight teased. ‘No holds barred. Full on Peaky Blinders at war.’

The Immortal Man will open in 1940, with Tommy Shelby driven out of self-imposed exile by the chaos erupting across Birmingham’s streets – much of it thanks to his son, Duke, adopting control of the gang. As Ada says in the trailer, ‘Your Gypsy son is running the Peaky Blinders like it’s 1919 all over again.’

Out in the open, Tommy faces his mot destructive reckoning yet, with everything from his family to his country at stake.

Watch the trailer below for a taste of the action.

The Cast

There’s a mix of familiar Peaky stars and new faces. Joining Murphy at the top of the call sheet are fellow Irishman Barry Keoghan along with Stephen Graham, Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth and Sophie Rundle.

And while Keoghan is new to Peaky Blinders, his character isn’t. He is taking over the role of Duke Shelby – Tommy’s first-born, illegitimate son – from Conrad Khan. And as we see in the trailer, he’s causing some havoc…
