The wait is almost over for Peaky Blinders fans. Four years after the Shelby family rode off into the sunset, Cillian Murphy is officially back as the iconic Tommy Shelby. Netflix dropped a brand new poster for the upcoming film Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man on February 12, 2026, and with it came the final confirmation of when viewers around the world can finally stream the movie .
The poster shows Murphy in his signature flat cap and long overcoat, standing in what looks like a war-torn landscape. Fighter planes fly overhead, and the rubble around him suggests the story is moving into a dangerous new era. Standing next to him is Barry Keoghan, officially confirming the Saltburn star’s role in the franchise for the first time . The tagline on the poster reads “Heavy lies the crown,” which gives fans a pretty good idea that Tommy’s return won’t be an easy one .
When and Where to Watch ‘The Immortal Man’
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man will hit select cinemas on March 6, 2026, giving fans in certain regions a chance to see it on the big screen first . For the rest of the world, the film arrives on Netflix on March 20, 2026 .
This release plan means viewers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and India can all stream the movie on the same day through Netflix . The theatrical release is limited, so for most fans, the streaming option will be the way to go.
The film runs for 112 minutes (about one hour and 52 minutes), packing the next chapter of the Shelby story into a feature-length format .
What Is ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’ About?
The story picks up in Birmingham during the 1940s, with World War II raging in the background . When viewers last saw Tommy Shelby at the end of the TV series in 2022, he had ridden away on his horse, seemingly leaving his old life behind. But peace doesn’t last long for the Shelby family.
According to the official synopsis from Netflix, Tommy is “driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet” . With the future of his family and the country on the line, he has to face his own demons and decide whether to protect everything he built or burn it all down .
Series creator Steven Knight described what fans can expect. “The country is at war, and so, of course, are our Peaky Blinders,” Knight told Netflix. “It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war” .
The World War II setting gives the film a much bigger backdrop than the series. Some reports suggest the plot involves secret wartime missions based on real historical events . Director Tom Harper, who directed episodes of the show back in season one, returns to helm the film .
The Cast: Old Faces and New Additions
Cillian Murphy leads the cast as Thomas Shelby, the role that made him a household name and earned him critical acclaim long before his Oscar win for Oppenheimer. Murphy said about coming back to the character, “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” .
Several familiar faces from the TV series are returning alongside Murphy:
- Sophie Rundle as Ada Shelby, Tommy’s sister
- Stephen Graham as Hayden Stagg
- Ned Dennehy as Charlie Strong
- Packy Lee as Johnny Dogs
- Ian Peck as Curly
The new additions to the cast are generating just as much buzz. Barry Keoghan joins the franchise in a role that hasn’t been fully revealed yet. The poster places him right next to Tommy, suggesting his character will be central to the story .
Rebecca Ferguson (Dune, Mission: Impossible) also joins the cast. She told Radio Times that working with Murphy was a major reason she signed on. “I wanted to work with Cillian for a very long time, and we have the same agent. So I’ve been constantly calling saying, ‘What’s up? What’s going on? What are we doing?’ So when this came it was a no-brainer for me” .
Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs, The Hateful Eight) and Jay Lycurgo (Titans) round out the new additions .
The Poster That Got Fans Talking
The new poster released this week gives fans plenty to analyze. Murphy and Keoghan stand side by side in full Peaky Blinders gear—suits, overcoats, and those famous flat caps. The background shows a city under attack, with smoke rising and warplanes filling the sky .
Netflix’s Instagram caption simply read, “Heavy lies the crown,” which fans took as a sign that Tommy’s return to power won’t be smooth sailing . The phrase fits the character perfectly. Tommy Shelby has always carried the weight of his decisions, and this film looks like it will push him to his limits.
The End of This Chapter, But Not the End of the Story
Steven Knight described the film as “a very fitting way to end this part of the Peaky story” . That wording is important because it’s not the end of Peaky Blinders entirely.
Netflix and the BBC have already confirmed that Peaky Blinders will return for two more seasons after the film . Those seasons will follow a new generation of Shelbys and jump forward in time to the 1950s, as Birmingham rebuilds after the war .
For now though, all eyes are on The Immortal Man. The film marks the first time fans will see Tommy Shelby on screen since 2022, and with Murphy coming off his Oscar win, the timing couldn’t be better.

What to Expect from the Film
The movie carries an R rating in the United States, which means it will keep the violence and mature themes that made the TV series famous . Set in the middle of World War II, expect larger-scale action than the show delivered, while still keeping the personal family drama at its core.
Knight promised an “explosive chapter” that doesn’t hold back . Given how the TV series ended—with Tommy finally finding some peace after years of violence—fans have been wondering what could possibly drag him back into the chaos. The answer, it seems, is war.
With a tight 112-minute runtime, The Immortal Man looks to deliver a focused, intense story that gives Tommy Shelby the big-screen treatment he deserves.
