By Order of the Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Is Now on Netflix

By order of the Peaky Blinders. Four years after the Season 6 finale brought the Shelby family saga to its emotional conclusion — and after years of promises, delays, script rewrites, and the kind of fan anticipation that borders on religious — Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is now streaming on Netflix, available in every country where Netflix operates, as of today Thursday March 20, 2026. Directed by Tom Harper — the filmmaker behind Wild Rose and Heart of Stone — and written by series creator Steven Knight, who wrote every episode of all six seasons, The Immortal Man is the official continuation of one of the most beloved British television dramas of the modern era. It stars Cillian Murphy in his Oscar-winning prime, returning as the most stylish, most menacing, most melancholy gangster in television history. It runs one hour and 52 minutes. It is rated R. And it answers, at least partially, the question that every Peaky Blinders fan has been asking since June 2022: what happened to Tommy Shelby? The Plot: Tommy Returns, Duke Is in Trouble & the Nazis Are Involved The Immortal Man picks up with Tommy Shelby in self-imposed exile — the precise location unspecified, the reasons rooted in the events of Season 6 — before the arrival of news that pulls him back to Birmingham: his estranged son Duke, played by Barry Keoghan, has become entangled in a Nazi plot. The specifics of that plot have their roots in real history — Nazi Germany's Operation Bernhard, in which the SS forced Jewish concentration camp prisoners to produce counterfeit British pound notes intended to destabilise the British wartime economy by flooding the country with fake currency. Tommy's return to a bombed 1940s Birmingham — the city he built his empire in, the streets where he made his name, now scarred by the Luftwaffe — is the film's central image: a man returning to the ruins of everything he created, asked to save a son he barely knows from enemies that dwarf even the Peaky Blinders at their peak. "It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn't finished with me," Cillian Murphy told Netflix. "It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans." The Cast: Keoghan, Ferguson, Roth, Graham & a Returning Ensemble Barry Keoghan as Duke Shelby is the film's most significant new creative element — and one of the most inspired casting decisions in the Peaky Blinders universe. Keoghan, fresh off his career-defining work in Saltburn and his Oscar-nominated performance, brings a volatile, unpredictable energy to Tommy's estranged son that creates instant tension with Murphy's more controlled, coiled menace. Their scenes together — glimpsed in the trailer, with Tommy walking into the Garrison pub to find Duke surrounded by strangers — have the quality of a powder keg waiting for a spark. Rebecca Ferguson joins as a new character operating in the orbit of the wartime intelligence world — precise casting whose specific role has been deliberately withheld from pre-release promotional material. Tim Roth, Stephen Graham, Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, and Jay Lycurgo round out the ensemble — with Graham and Rundle reprising their beloved original series roles, and Roth joining as a new addition whose wartime credentials give him a very different kind of authority than anyone Tommy Shelby has previously encountered. The notable absences from the original cast — Helen McCrory, who passed away in 2021, most painfully — permeate the film with a melancholy that no amount of casting can entirely fill. The Context: WWII Birmingham, Steven Knight's Swan Song & What Comes Next The Immortal Man is set against a backdrop that gives the Peaky Blinders universe a scope it has never previously attempted: the full weight of the Second World War, falling on Birmingham with the specific brutality of the Blitz — a city whose industrial output made it a priority Luftwaffe target. Steven Knight has described the film as a swan song for the Shelby family saga in its current form — a conclusion to Tommy's arc that makes room for the next chapter. A sequel series, set in a new era with a new generation, has been confirmed by Netflix but carries no release date. As digital8hub.com has reported this week, Netflix and Prime Video are both operating at full creative velocity — with The Immortal Man launching on the same platform as One Piece Season 2, while Prime Video has simultaneously premiered Invincible Season 4, Scarpetta, and Jack Ryan: Ghost War in the same fortnight. The streaming wars have never been more intensely contested. Today, Netflix wins the day. Tommy Shelby is back. He is in bombed Birmingham. His son is in trouble. And he has brought his flat cap.
