What's Inside?
- Cillian Murphy returns as Tommy Shelby, confronting his son Duke and reclaiming control of the Peaky Blinders empire again now.
- Netflix’s trailer sets story during World War II, showing Birmingham’s chaos, fascist alliances, and family betrayal escalating rapidly today now.
- Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson, and Tim Roth join returning cast, expanding Shelby legacy toward explosive cinematic conclusion this year ahead.
Tommy Shelby never really leaves. He disappears, retreats, rebuilds himself. But he always returns when his world begins to crumble. Netflix’s newly released trailer for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man makes that truth clear within seconds. Cillian Murphy steps back into the role that defined a generation of television, only this time the stakes feel heavier. England is at war. Birmingham is changing. And the empire Tommy built with blood and calculation is no longer his. Instead, it now belongs to his own son, forcing him to confront a legacy that may have grown beyond his control.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Trailer Reveals Tommy Shelby’s Empire Slipping Away
The trailer opens in a country in chaos during World War II. Bombings have scarred cities. Fear hangs in the air. Yet amid that uncertainty, the Peaky Blinders have returned to their old ways. Only this time, Tommy is not leading them.
Instead, Duke Shelby, played by Barry Keoghan, has stepped forward. Older now and hardened, he has taken charge of the gang with a boldness that echoes Tommy’s early rise. Ada Shelby delivers the warning that sets everything in motion. “Your gypsy son is running Peaky Blinders like it’s 1919 all over again,” she tells Tommy.
It is not just a family concern. It is a threat.
Rebecca Ferguson’s mysterious character tracks Tommy down from his self imposed exile and pulls him back into a life he had tried to leave behind. When Tommy finally walks into the Garrison pub, there is a moment that says everything. Some patrons do not even recognize him. The man who once ruled the room now feels like a ghost in his own past.
Meanwhile, Duke’s ambitions are growing in dangerous directions. Tim Roth appears as a British Fascist sympathizer who offers him a chance to support Germany’s war effort. It is a choice that pushes the Peaky Blinders beyond crime and into something far more destructive. For Tommy, it becomes personal. He must face his son, his mistakes, and the monster his legacy may have created.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Expands the Shelby Story into Wartime Reckoning
The Peaky Blinders movie continues the story after the original series ended in 2022. Created by Steven Knight and first aired on the BBC in 2013 before gaining global reach on Netflix, Peaky Blinders built its reputation on sharp writing and unforgettable characters. This film feels like its natural next chapter, not a nostalgic add-on.
Stephen Graham returns as Hayden Stagg. Ned Dennehy reprises his role as Charlie Strong. Familiar faces remain, but the world around them has shifted. Newcomers, including Ferguson, Keoghan, and Jay Lycurgo, bring fresh tension to the Shelby orbit.
Director Tom Harper, who helped shape the show’s visual identity, returns to guide this chapter. His presence keeps the tone grounded in the same smoky realism fans expect.
The larger world of Birmingham is changing, too. As the official logline explains, “After being heavily bombed in WWII, Birmingham is building a better future out of concrete and steel,” the logline says. “In a new era of Steven Knight’s ‘Peaky Blinders,’ the race to own Birmingham’s massive reconstruction project becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions. This is a city of unprecedented opportunity and danger: with the Shelby family right at its blood-soaked heart.”
That promise hints at more than action. It suggests closure.
Tommy Shelby once built an empire to survive. Now he may have to destroy it to save what remains of himself.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man plays in select theaters starting March 6 before its Netflix release on March 20.
