Netflix has confirmed the release date for The Immortal Man, the long-awaited Peaky Blinders movie that will pick up the story after the series concluded in 2022. The announcement arrived alongside a new poster featuring Cillian Murphy, who returns as Tommy Shelby, signaling the next chapter for a character who has become one of television’s most recognizable antiheroes. While details remain limited, the confirmation ends years of speculation about when the film would finally reach audiences.
The original Peaky Blinders series, which launched in 2013, followed the Shelby crime family as they navigated shifting power structures in early 20th-century Britain. Across six seasons, the show built a dedicated global following through its stylized reimagining of the era, anchored by Murphy’s performance and Steven Knight’s slow-burn storytelling. The film has been described as a continuation rather than a reboot, setting expectations that it will resolve lingering threads while expanding the world in ways the series format no longer allowed.
Netflix’s early reveal suggests confidence in the project’s international reach. The streamer has consistently drawn strong viewership numbers from Peaky Blinders, particularly after acquiring global distribution rights, making a feature-length installment a logical extension of the franchise. Whether The Immortal Man maintains the show’s grounded mix of political intrigue, character drama, and period stylization will depend on how Knight adapts the narrative to a single continuous arc rather than episodic pacing.
As this is a developing announcement, additional information on cast, plot direction, and release strategy is expected in the coming weeks. For now, the confirmation alone marks a significant moment for fans who have been waiting to see how Tommy Shelby’s story evolves beyond the finale’s ambiguous closing beats.
