Admit it, you missed him. That icy stare, the gravity-defying cigarette, and of course, the most dangerous hairstyle in the history of television, which inspired thousands of questionable hair decisions around the world. After four years of waiting, speculation, and endless rumors, Netflix has finally revealed the cards. Cillian Murphy is returning as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. Get your best whiskey ready and iron your tweed jackets, because the Birmingham saga is coming to an end with an explosion that will be felt all the way to Hollywood.
If you thought the series finale marked the end of Tommy's reign, you were almost as wrong as everyone who tried to kill him off in previous seasons. Netflix has officially released the trailer, promising a "guns-blazing" spectacle. The film's title, The Immortal Man (The Immortal Man), hints at exactly what we all suspected: Thomas Shelby is simply too stubborn to die.
A film written by the creator of the series Steven Knight and directed by Tom Harper, is not just an extended episode. It’s a cinematic event that bridges the gap between the end of the series and a new era of industrial warfare. The streets of Birmingham may be the same, but the game has gotten bigger and the stakes deadlier. Cillian Murphy, now a fresh Oscar winner (thanks, Oppenheimer), returns with renewed vigor to give fans the final chapter they deserve. And let’s be honest: nothing screams “prestige” more than an Oscar winner returning to the role that launched him to stardom.
A cast that makes us weak in the knees
Of course, Tommy is the heart of the operation, but what would Peaky Blinders be without its dysfunctional yet stylish family and enemies? Sophie Rundle returns as the ever-sharp and calculating Ada Thorne, while Stephen Graham will once again provide that unpredictable energy we love.
But the real lifestyle moment of this film lies in the new faces. Get ready, because the list reads like the VIP list of London's most exclusive party. Joining the cast are Barry Keoghan (a guy who can scare and seduce with a single glance), Rebecca Ferguson (because every movie needs its femme fatale with a spine of steel) and the legend Tim Roth. If that's not a recipe for utter chaos and acting masterpieces, then we don't know what is. It seems the conflict has gone beyond the streets of Small Heath and gone global, which means only one thing: more drama, more betrayals and probably even better wardrobe.
From cinemas to your couch
Netflix has decided on a strategy that surprises us a bit, but we like it at the same time. The film will have a double premiere. First, it will take over selected cinema screens on March 6, 2026. This is a great opportunity to put on that flat cap (no razor, please) and experience the gloomy atmosphere of Birmingham on the big screen with some popcorn.
For those who prefer the comfort of their living room and the ability to pause for a drink, the film is coming to Netflix just two weeks later, on March 20, 2026. Mark your calendars, cancel all your dates, and prepare excuses to go to work, because that Friday will be reserved for the Shelbys.
Why are we still obsessed?
Four years have passed, but Peaky Blinders remains a phenomenon. It's not just about the violence and politics; it's about the aesthetics. It's about the way Cillian Murphy walks in slow motion to the sounds of Nick Cava. It's about the fact that this series single-handedly resurrected 1920s men's fashion and made smoking (almost) cool, even though we know it's unhealthy.
With its hazy atmosphere and eerie music, the teaser trailer tells us that the world may have changed, but Tommy Shelby remains just as deadly and calculating. In a time when trends are fleeting, Tommy's coolness is eternal. The Immortal Man It's not just a title; it's a promise. The promise that legends never really go away – they just move to the big screen and our "Save to My List" lists.
Will Tommy finally find peace or will he go down in flames of glory? Honestly, as long as he looks this good doing it, we don't care. See you in March 2026. By order of the Peaky Blinders.
