Peaky Blinders confirm title and release date of upcoming film
WARNING: some spoilers ahead if you haven't watched the show in its entirety.

After what feels like an age since it was first announced, Peaky Blinders and Netflix have finally confirmed the title and release date of the upcoming feature-length film.
It was revealed that the global streaming giant secured exclusive rights to the movie last year, and it has now been revealed that it will also be released in selected theatres before it hits the platform.
With production on the long-talked-about project getting underway in September 2024, we’ve heard little else from creator Steven Knight, who has also been booked to deliver the Oasis reunion documentary chronicling their Live ’25 world tour.
However, we now know not only the official title of the film, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, and that it will be dropping early next year. They’ve even shared the first poster.
Clearly referring to the series’ most famous lead character, Thomas Shelby – played by now fully-fledged Hollywood A-lister Cillian Murphy since 2013 – the teaser shows him sat astride a horse, not to mention covered in a fair amount of dirt and/or blood.
Alongside the suit and the trademark newsboy cap with blades inserted in the brim (the calling card of both the fictional and the real ‘Peaky Blinders’), it’s quite a classic look of Tommy’s.
Scheduled to release in limited cinemas on 6 March before arriving on Netflix on 20/3/2026, this will not only be the first film in the wider franchise but the first to air separately from the BBC.
While its parent network is still involved as collaborators on the flick, this is the first instalment in the IP to be distributed directly by Netflix after they bought the rights to release the show in the US.
Meanwhile, back here at home, the BBC is gearing up to oversee the next generation of the show and introduce a whole new generation of Peaky Blinders…
As for The Immortal Man, both new and returning members of the cast include:
- Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer, 28 Days Later)
- Rebecca Ferguson (Dune, Silo)
- Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs, The Hateful Eight)
- Sophie Rundle (After the Flood, Gentleman Jack)
- Ned Dennehy (Culprits, The Peripheral)
- Packy Lee (Blue Lights)
- Ian Peck (His Dark Materials, Robin Hood)
- Jay Lycurgo (Steve, Half Bad: The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself)
- Barry Keoghan (Saltburn, The Banshees of Inisherin)
- Stephen Graham (Adolescence, A Thousand Blows)
Speaking in a full press release, Murphy said: “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.”
Returning four years after the end of the mainline series, but catching up with Tommy at the outset of WWII in terms of the actual timelines, Netflix say that the Shelby patriarch “is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet.”
Safe to say we cannot wait to be back in the world.
