H2: Netflix shares first look at the film
Netflix on Christmas Eve released a 70‑second teaser for the much‑anticipated Peaky Blinders film, giving fans their first glimpse of Cillian Murphy back as Tommy Shelby. The teaser poses the question: “Whatever happened to Tommy Shelby?” and shows Murphy’s Shelby insisting, “I’m not that man any more,” even as he is pulled back toward the family and the streets of Birmingham.
The short clip also introduces Barry Keoghan’s new character — glimpsed in a white vest with tattoos — and teases a return to the tense, atmospheric world that made the TV series a global hit.
H3: Cast and creative team
Cillian Murphy leads the cast, reprising his role as the Shelby family’s embattled patriarch. Barry Keoghan is among several high‑profile new additions. Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Roth are also joining the feature, while familiar faces Sophie Rundle (Ada Shelby), Stephen Graham (Hayden Stagg) and Packy Lee (Johnny Dogs) are confirmed to return.
The film is directed by Tom Harper and written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, who is also set to write the next James Bond film. Knight remains heavily involved in expanding the Peaky universe, and Murphy will return as an executive producer on future projects.
H4: What the teaser reveals about Tommy Shelby
The teaser centers on a Tommy Shelby who has been living in self‑imposed exile and who struggles with his identity. The voiceover labels him “the famous gypsy gangster,” while Shelby’s lines and posture suggest a man wary of his past but repeatedly dragged back into conflict. Visuals include Murphy’s signature bakerboy cap and an atmospheric, wartime mood that ties the feature to the series’ historical sweep.
H4: Release dates and the wider Peaky universe
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is slated to premiere in cinemas on 6 March, with a Netflix release set for 20 March. The film continues the story beyond the six TV seasons, which ran from 2013 and concluded on screen in 2022.
The BBC has also announced a Peaky Blinders spin‑off series set in 1953, focused on a new generation of Shelbys and to be filmed at Digbeth Loc Studios in Birmingham. Cillian Murphy will executive produce the spin‑off, though it has not been confirmed whether he will appear on screen.
H5: Why it matters
The teaser marks a major moment for fans of Cillian Murphy and the Peaky Blinders franchise. It promises a cinematic scale and new characters while retaining the series’ gritty style and historical backdrop. With a high‑profile creative team and a release across cinemas and Netflix, the film aims to reunite long‑time viewers and attract new audiences worldwide.
