‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’ Teaser Trailer: Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby Returns For A WWII Reckoning

Get your cap on. Netflix has unveiled the official teaser trailer for “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man,” the feature-length continuation that pushes the Shelby saga into Birmingham in 1940, with World War II as the backdrop and Tommy Shelby’s soul as the battleground. Four years after the series finale, Cillian Murphy’s iconic gangster is pulled back from a self-imposed exile to face what’s being framed as his most destructive reckoning yet — with the family, the country, and his own legacy all on the line.

And the teaser doesn’t exactly pretend this is a soft return. Tudum notes it opens with the question, “Whatever happened to Tommy Shelby?” and it even lets Tommy speak for himself with the line, “I’m not that man anymore.” Which, sure, sounds like growth — until you remember this is “Peaky Blinders,” where evolution usually comes with a body count and a bill.

Murphy, for his part, framed the comeback as a personal victory. “It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me,” he told Tudum. “It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of ‘Peaky Blinders.’ This is one for the fans.”

Series creator Steven Knight returned to write the film, with Tom Harper directing, and Knight basically promised the gloves came off. “The country is at war, and so, of course, are our ‘Peaky Blinders,’” he said. “It will be an explosive chapter in the ‘Peaky Blinders’ story. No holds barred. Full-on’ Peaky Blinders’ at war.” The cast also stacked the deck with Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, Ian Peck, Jay Lycurgo, Barry Keoghan, and Stephen Graham joining Murphy’s return.

“Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man” hit select theaters on March 6, 2026, before landing on Netflix on March 20, 2026.
