By order of the Peaky Blinders — Tommy Shelby rides again. Netflix has officially revealed release plans for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the long-awaited feature film continuation of Steven Knight’s hit crime drama. The movie will arrive in select theaters on March 6, 2026, followed by a streaming launch on Netflix March 20, 2026.
Set against the backdrop of Birmingham, 1940, the film thrusts Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby into his darkest era yet. WWII rages, the country is fracturing, and Tommy faces “his most destructive reckoning yet.” With the future of his family and the nation hanging in the balance, Tommy must finally decide whether to confront the legacy he built… or burn it all down. The official synopsis states:
Birmingham, 1940. Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby 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. By order of the Peaky Blinders…
The film features Rebecca Ferguson (Dune, A House of Dynamite), Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs, The Hateful Eight), Sophie Rundle (Gentleman Jack, After the Flood), Barry Keoghan (Saltburn, The Banshees of Inisherin) and Stephen Graham (Boiling Point, Adolescence), alongside Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, Ian Peck, and Jay Lycurgo.
Will We Get More ‘Peaky Blinders’?
The Immortal Man isn’t the only slice of Shelby action we’ll be getting. A sequel series to the main show has also been greenlit. Murphy returns as executive producer, with Knight in charge of the series. The synopsis for the sequel is as follows:
“Britain, 1953. After being heavily bombed in WWII, Birmingham is building a better future out of concrete and steel. In a new era of Steven Knight’s Peaky Blinders, the race to own Birmingham’s massive reconstruction project becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions. This is a city of unprecedented opportunity and danger, with the Shelby family right at its blood-soaked heart.”
Ahead of the sequel series, Knight has already spoken in an interview about what inspired him to continue the show’s legacy, as well as what the future of Peaky Blinders might look like. After suggesting the sequel series could be “potentially a better iteration” than the original, Knight confirmed, “We felt there was an appetite for more,” something the show’s millions of fans can concur. “I tend to do things according to if I want to do them,” Knight explained, adding, “In parallel with what’s been happening with Peaky, I’ve been developing this studio in Birmingham, and we’ve got there now. So we’ll be able to shoot this next generation here, [partly] thanks to the BBC, which is investing in this region in a way that really makes things like this possible.”
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man hits theaters March 6 and Netflix March 20, 2026.
