Does Tom Hardy’s Alfie Solomons appear in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man?

(**WARNING: Contains spoilers for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man**)

Throughout it's six seasons on TV, Peaky Blinders saw a huge number of big name guest stars feature alongside Cillian Murphy and the other regular cast members – with the likes of Sam Neill, Adrien Brody, Anya Taylor-Joy and Sam Claflin all having prominent roles at various points.

But arguably none of their character's were quite as memorable as Tom Hardy's Alfie Solomons. A sometimes adversary and sometimes ally of Tommy Shelby, Alfie was the leader of a London-based Jewish gang and was first introduced in season two, before making numerous appearances in subsequent outings.

At various points during his time on the show, it seemed that Alfie was certain to bite the bullet – but somehow the fan favourite survived both being shot in the face and a cancer diagnosis, and was still alive and well by the time of the season finale (even if some fans floated a theory that in latter seasons Alfie was only a figment of Tommy's imagination).

With that in mind, you might be wondering if Alfie appears in movie spin-off The Immortal Man – which has just landed on Netflix after a brief theatrical release. Read on for everything you need to know.

Does Tom Hardy's Alfie Solomons appear in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man?

No –in news that will no doubt slightly disappoint TV fans, there is no appearance of Alfie in the film.

Indeed other than Tommy, there are relatively few characters from the TV series who pop up in this sequel, with only Tommy's sister Ada (Sophie Rundle), Stephen Graham's character Hayden Stagg and Tommy's reliable allies Charlie Strong (Ned Dennehy), Johnny Dogs (Packy Lee) and Curly (Ian Peck) appearing.

That's despite the fact that Hardy had previously revealed that he thought a return to the character was very likely.

"100% Alfie will definitely make an appearance, but I don't know when..." he told Sky News back in 2024, although he added: "I don't even know if he will, that's just me punting."

Alas, that punt didn't prove to come to fruition – so Alfie fans will have to revisit the series if they want to see the charismatic character once again.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is currently showing in select UK cinemas. The movie will stream on Netflix from 20 March – sign up from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media. The Peaky Blinders series is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
