Everything you need to know about the upcoming Peaky Blinders film

Four years after Peaky Blinders bowed out, the flat caps are officially coming back out of the cupboard. 

Netflix is bringing the Shelby family back for a feature film called Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, and with the final trailer now out, we’ve got a proper look at what’s coming when it hits cinemas on March 6, before landing on Netflix on March 20, 2026.

Here’s everything you need to know before we all settle in, start speaking in Brummie accents, and pretend we’re tougher than we actually are.

What’s the plot?

Set in Birmingham in 1940, right in the thick of World War II, the film sees Tommy Shelby dragged back from a self-imposed exile.

With the future of the Shelby family, and the country, on the line, he’s forced to confront what’s being described as his most destructive reckoning yet.

Creator Steven Knight puts it simply: “The country is at war, and so, of course, are our Peaky Blinders.”

He adds, “It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.”

What’s in the new trailer?

The trailer makes it clear this isn’t a cosy reunion tour.

Tommy looks older, greyer, and very much haunted. Rebecca Ferguson’s character, the mysterious Kaulo, warns him he lives in “a house haunted with ghosts of people who died because of you... You abandoned your kingdom and you abandoned your son.”

That son is Duke Shelby, now played by Barry Keoghan. Ada, played by Sophie Rundle, tells Tommy: “Your gypsy son is running the Peaky Blinders like it’s 1919, all over again.”

Tommy fires back at one point, “I can’t help him, because I’m not that man anymore.”

There’s also a big hint at betrayal. Tim Roth plays a British Fascist sympathiser named Beckett, who quietly asks Duke if he’s willing to commit “an act of treason that will decide this war for Germany.”

We also see the return of Stephen Graham as union convenor Hayden Stagg, tense scenes in the Garrison Tavern, and a montage packed with gunshots, explosions and a very ominous coin flip.

Plus, a new track, ‘Puppet’, from Grian Chatten of Fontaines D.C. features in the trailer. 

Chatten told BBC Radio 1 he had to resist shaving his head “Peaky-style” during recording, adding: “I got the joy of watching a lot of the scenes over and over again, and it’s a wonderfully layered piece of work.”

Murphy himself called it “a banging tune on its own, but when you put it to picture, it’s just really special.”

Who’s in the cast?

Cillian Murphy returns as Tommy Shelby, off the back of his Academy Award-winning turn in Oppenheimer, because there was never any other option.

Familiar faces include Sophie Rundle, Stephen Graham, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee and Ian Peck.

New additions alongside Ferguson, Roth and Keoghan include Jay Lycurgo. Behind the camera, the film is directed by Tom Harper, who previously worked on the series.

Murphy has already said of coming back: “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me. This is one for the fans.”

When is the film being released?

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man hits select cinemas on March 6, 2026, before landing on Netflix on March 20, 2026.

By order of the Peaky Blinders, that’s your March sorted.
