Tommy Shelby is back and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. Set against the chaos of World War II, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man brings Cillian Murphy’s iconic gangster out of exile and straight into the heart of his deadliest battle yet. Netflix has finally revealed the release date, and fans across the world are preparing for a darker, more explosive chapter of the Peaky saga.
Fans of ‘Peaky Blinders’ finally have the update they’ve been waiting for: the long-anticipated feature film ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’ now has an official release date. Netflix has confirmed that the Cillian Murphy–led film will premiere globally on March 20, 2026, following its limited theatrical release on March 6, 2026.
Building on the legacy of the hit BBC series, the film picks up the story of Tommy Shelby in Birmingham, 1940, at the height of World War II – a period creator Steven Knight describes as the gang leader’s “most destructive reckoning yet.” With Europe engulfed in conflict and the Shelby family’s criminal empire stretched thin, Tommy is forced out of exile to confront both enemies on the battlefield and the ones he left behind at home.
In a recent announcement, Knight promised the film would be “full-on Peaky Blinders at war,” hinting at a harsher, darker storyline than anything seen in the show. The wartime setting opens the door for high-stakes confrontations, shifting loyalties, and a version of Tommy Shelby who is pushed further than ever before, emotionally, morally, and physically.
