Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026) is a British crime drama directed by Tom Harper and written by Steven Knight. It is a continuation of the series Peaky Blinders (2013–2022). The film sees Cillian Murphy return as Thomas Shelby, alongside familiar faces such as Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, Ian Peck, and Stephen Graham. The cast is further strengthened with Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Jay Lycurgo, and Barry Keoghan. Set in November 1940, against the backdrop of World War II, the story follows a Nazi-led attempt to economically destabilize the United Kingdom. While the premise is compelling and fits naturally within the dark world of Peaky Blinders, the execution feels uneven, particularly as a continuation of the series. One of the film’s main shortcomings is its lack of focus on key existing characters. Several important figures from the series are either sidelined or not mentioned at all, which creates a noticeable disconnect for longtime fans. Without diving into spoilers, the film also falls short in resolving certain storylines and antagonists introduced in the final season, leaving parts of the narrative incomplete. That said, the performances remain a strong point. Cillian Murphy once again delivers a commanding presence as Tommy Shelby, and the new additions to the cast bring fresh energy to the story. Ultimately, the film serves as a conclusion to Thomas Shelby’s journey. It may not meet all expectations, but it still carries the tone and identity of a Peaky Blinders series. 6.5/10
Never seen anything Peaky Blinders so I went into this…blind. It’s like a broody moody slow John Wick. I liked it and makes me want to watch the show, which I can now pretend is the origin story to this film
Peaky Blinders: Daddy Issues It’s a nice wrap up of the TV show, I have no major complaints. The feels are there, acting, music. It looks too polished for my taste and in comparison to the show (some makeup/costumes are way too 2026), but overall good and I think it works decently as a standalone movie. I think if you just see it out of context, it could interest you in watching the show.
