The Immortal Man: Release Date, Cast, and Everything We Know About the Peaky Blinders Movie
Parijat Ghosh 
The Shelby family is officially back — and this time, they’re going to war. The Immortal Man, the long-awaited Peaky Blinders movie, is finally on its way to the big screen. Written by series creator Steven Knight, this film brings Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby into a darker, more dangerous chapter set during World War II. It’s stylish, cinematic, and exactly the chaos fans have been craving since the series ended.
When Are We Getting It (and Why the Wait Feels Endless)
If you’re staring at your calendar waiting for an update, you’re not alone. While there’s still no official release date, Steven Knight confirmed that The Immortal Man wrapped filming in December 2024. Translation: it’s deep in post-production and slowly marching toward release.
Most insiders are betting on a late 2025 or early 2026 premiere — just enough time for Knight to polish every gritty frame. The movie will first hit theaters before dropping on Netflix, which means yes, you’ll get to see Tommy Shelby’s piercing stare on the big screen before streaming it in your pajamas.
The Cast Lineup Is Basically Cinema Royalty
Let’s start with the obvious: Cillian Murphy is back as Tommy Shelby, because no one else can pull off that deadly calm and haunting charm quite like him. Murphy himself has teased that this movie will be “worth the wait,” which already sounds like a Shelby promise we can believe in.
Joining him is the ever-enigmatic Rebecca Ferguson in a secretive new role that fans can’t stop theorizing about. Barry Keoghan — chaos personified — has also joined the cast, alongside Tim Roth, who’s basically a guarantee of trouble. Stephen Graham returns as Hayden Stagg, while Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, and Ian Peck reprise their original series roles. And if rumors are true, newcomer Jay Lycurgo might be stepping in as a new generation Peaky, carrying the Shelby torch forward.
The Plot’s a Secret, But Expect Blood, Bombs, and Brilliance
Steven Knight has revealed just enough to make fans restless. The film takes place during World War II, a timeline that perfectly fits the Shelby family’s evolution from street gang to political players. Knight described it as “Peaky Blinders at war” — which sounds exactly as explosive as it should.
Beyond that, everything is hush-hush. But given the show’s knack for moral gray zones and high-stakes betrayal, you can bet this will be Tommy Shelby’s most dangerous game yet. Knight has also said this movie will mark the “end of the first chapter” of the Peaky universe, meaning it could pave the way for future spin-offs.
No one knows whether this will be Tommy Shelby’s redemption or his ruin — and that’s part of the thrill. With the series’ signature blend of violence, style, and poetry, The Immortal Man is shaping up to be a cinematic farewell worthy of its legacy.
