Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man – Release date, cast and trailer for big-screen spin-off

After three years, the wait for more Peaky Blinders is finally over – with spin-off movie The Immortal Man now playing in select UK cinemas.

The first big-screen outing for the Birmingham gangster saga sees Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy step back into the role of Tommy Shelby after the character found out his apparent fatal illness was a fabrication in the highly dramatic season 6 finale – and it will certainly be fascinating to see what's next.

There's an impressive line of actors joining for its maiden cinematic outing, including Pulp Fiction star Tim Roth, Saltburn star Barry Keoghan and Mission: Impossible favourite Rebecca Ferguson, while a handful of cast members from the original series will also be returning.

Ferguson previously told Radio Times that she had "wanted to work with Cillian for a very long time" and that it had been an "honour" to step into the Peaky world. We can't wait to see what she brings to the series.

So, what can we expect from The Immortal Man? Read on for everything you need to know.

Peaky Blinders The Immortal Man release date: When is it in cinemas?

It was confirmed in December 2025 that the film would be getting a cinematic release from Friday 6 March 2026 – which means that it is now showing in select UK cinemas.

It will then be added to the Netflix library two weeks later – on Friday 20 March 2026 – giving the film a similar exclusive theatrical window to most of the streamer's more prestige-minded film fare.

The announcement was made alongside the release of some teaser art for the film, which saw Tommy Shelby sitting atop his noble steed – just as we saw him at the end of the series.

Meanwhile, the title of the film was confirmed in an Instagram post back in December 2024 by hair and make-up artist Nadia Stacy, with Stacy revealing it is called The Immortal Man.

Characters who cannot return (unless as a ghost or in flashback) include Michael Gray (Finn Cole), Billy Grade (Emmett J Scanlan) and Captain Swing/Laura McKee (Charlene McKenna), after all being killed off in the series finale, while Kate Philips, who played Linda Shelby, told Radio Times that she is not involved in the film.

Meanwhile, Sam Claflin revealed in July 2025 that he would not be reprising his role as real-life British fascist Oswald Mosely, telling Metro: "I don’t know that I should not say anything, and keep the speculation going… but no, sadly, I’ll share – I’m not in the film, though I’m so excited as a fan of the series."

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man plot – what will happen in the movie?

The official synopsis for the film reads: "Birmingham, 1940. Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet.

"With the future of the family and the country at stake, Tommy must face his own demons, and choose whether to confront his legacy, or burn it to the ground. By order of the Peaky Blinders…"

For a long time further plot details for the film were kept a closely guarded secret, but we do have a few more hints about what to expect.

Knight previously revealed that he had always wanted the saga to end with the Second World War.

Speaking exclusively to Radio Times, he said: "I know what's going to happen in those stories and it's about a sort of untold story that happened in the Second World War, which Peakys are going to be involved in."

It's since been revealed that that untold story would concern Operation Bernhard, a Nazi scheme to win the war by flooding the UK with counterfeit money and breaking the economy.

From the trailer, it looks like Tommy's illegitimate son Duke (Barry Keoghan) will be recruited to help with this plan by Nazi sympathiser Beckett (Tim Roth), with Tommy then returning from his exile in a bid to put a stop to this.

Meanwhile, Knight also revealed that Polly Gray, who was played by the late Helen McCrory will, "remain a fundamental part of the movie" – and indeed more recently, Cillian Murphy explained how Tommy would embrace Aunt Polly's world more than ever before.

In another exclusive interview with Radio Times, Knight also said that the Peaky Blinders movie will be "the same but different", adding that viewers should "expect the unexpected". What that could be exactly, we're not sure – but it sounds exciting nonetheless.

Given that Tommy is alive at the end of Peaky Blinders and is not, in fact, terminally ill as he had been lead to believe, the stage is set for an almighty comeback.

Of course, Jack Nelson (James Frecheville) and Gina Gray (Anya Taylor-Joy) are also still alive, so maybe they will want revenge on Tommy for what happened to Michael and their plan? However neither of the stars have been reported to be appearing in the film at this stage, so we can't be too sure about this.

Meanwhile, there are multiple members of the Shelby family still living and who could return. We shall just have to wait and see who!

Of course, we also now know that Knight doesn't envisage the film as the last outing for Peaky Blinders, so we'll also have to keep an eye out for any other Peaky-related announcements.

Is there a trailer for the Peaky Blinders movie?

Yes – the first trailer was released on Christmas Eve 2025. You can have a look for yourself below – it's safe to say it conjures up quite a doom-laden atmosphere.

This was then followed by a second trailer in February 2026, which gave a few more details about what fans can expect from the movie – including the revelation that Barry Keoghan would be playing Duke Shelby.
