The next chapter of ‘Peaky Blinders’ is officially headed to the big screen. The feature film, titled Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, will arrive in select theaters on March 6, 2026, before launching worldwide on Netflix on March 20.

A social post announced: “Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy returns as the legendary gypsy gangster Tommy Shelby in ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.’ In select theaters March 6 and on Netflix March 20.”

Directed by Tom Harper and written by series creator Steven Knight, the film continues the story following the show’s 2022 finale. Set in Birmingham in 1940 during World War II, the movie brings Tommy Shelby back from self-imposed exile for what’s described as an “epic continuation” of the saga. 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.”

Murphy reprises his BAFTA-winning role after portraying Tommy from 2013 to 2022. Joining him are Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Sophie Rundle, Barry Keoghan, Stephen Graham and Jay Lycurgo, along with returning cast members Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee and Ian Peck.

A newly released trailer shows Tommy returning home to find his son overseeing the remnants of his former criminal empire, alongside younger men who appear unfamiliar with the Shelby legacy. A teaser poster features Murphy’s bloodied Tommy on horseback, partially hidden beneath his signature cap against a misty backdrop.

The original Peaky Blinders debuted on BBC Two in 2013 before expanding globally via Netflix. The drama later moved to BBC One and earned a BAFTA for Best Drama Series. The story initially spanned 1919 to 1933.

Looking ahead, two additional six-episode sequel series have been ordered by Netflix and the BBC, set to begin in 1953 and follow the events of the film. Knight and Murphy will serve as executive producers.  In addition, the film’s soundtrack is also rolling out, with the single “Puppet” available now and the full album scheduled for release March 20, the same day the movie begins streaming.
