After four years of eager anticipation, fans of the hit series Peaky Blinders finally have concrete dates for the saga's explosive cinematic finale. Netflix has officially announced that the feature film, titled 'Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man', will premiere in cinemas worldwide on March 6, 2026, before arriving for streaming on its platform on March 20, 2026.
Tommy Shelby's Final Reckoning
The film marks the triumphant return of Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy as the iconic Birmingham gang leader, Tommy Shelby. Directed by Tom Harper and written by series creator Steven Knight, the story thrusts the Shelbys into the heart of the Second World War. The official synopsis sets the scene: 'Birmingham, 1940. Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet.'
Murphy expressed his enthusiasm for returning to the role, stating, 'It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn't finished with me. 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.'
A New Era and a Fresh Cast
This chapter promises a significant shift, moving the gang from the interwar period into active global conflict. Steven Knight teased the scale, saying, 'The country is at war, and so, of course, are our Peaky Blinders. It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.'
The film will blend familiar faces with major new talent. Returning cast members include:
- Sophie Rundle as Ada Shelby
- Ned Dennehy as Charlie Strong
- Stephen Graham as Hayden Stagg
They will be joined by high-profile newcomers Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson, and Jay Lycurgo. Notably, the update suggests Paul Anderson will not reprise his role as Tommy's brother, Arthur Shelby.
The Future of the Peaky Blinders Universe
While 'The Immortal Man' may serve as a swan song for Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby—with the actor shifting to an executive producer role—the universe is far from over. Steven Knight confirmed in October that the franchise will continue with two more planned television seasons on the BBC and Netflix, focusing on the next generation of the Shelby family.
The announcement has sent the show's dedicated fanbase into a frenzy on social media, with reactions ranging from 'March 6th is gonna be life changing' to predictions of an 'epic send off to a great character.'
All six seasons of the original series remain available to stream on BBC iPlayer, allowing viewers to revisit the story before the film's release in March 2026.
