Peaky Blinders Netflix Movie: Every New, Returning, and Missing Star Revealed

Cillian Murphy pulls the flat cap down low and steps back into the fray — with heavyweight company in tow. The only question: who’s coming with him?

Tommy Shelby has crawled out of the ashes yet again, this time for a full-blown movie. After six seasons of blood, smoke, and sharpened caps, the story continues in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, set in Birmingham, 1940. Tommy is off the board when we find him — self-exiled, chemically dulled, and hovering between worlds.

'Liminal space.'

That’s how Cillian Murphy has put it, and it fits. He’s not living. He’s not gone. He’s just... paused. What unpauses him: Duke. Tommy’s son is now running the Peaky Blinders and has somehow gotten himself cross-threaded with a Nazi scheme. So Tommy does what Tommy does — he goes back to work.

Steven Knight wrote it. Tom Harper directs. The trailer hit on February 19 and, yes, the internet did its thing. The rollout is straightforward: a limited theatrical run on March 6, 2026, followed by a Netflix drop on March 20, 2026.

The setup

This feels like a closing chapter for Tommy, and Murphy has basically said as much. He wasn’t coming back unless the story earned it, and apparently it finally did. Meanwhile, the show’s long dance with British fascism isn’t over — it has evolved. The danger isn’t loud this time. It’s polite. It’s patient. That’s worse.

The cast you came here for

• Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby — Back in the role that made him a household name, now carrying the weight of an Oscar and a decade of history. Tommy’s broken, hiding, medicated, and barely functioning. If this is goodbye, it looks like a brutal one.
• Rebecca Ferguson as Kaulo — A new and instantly intriguing presence: a Romani medium with deep ties to Tommy’s past and to Duke. Murphy brought Ferguson into the fold, and there was a whole back-and-forth about her voice. She didn’t go for a Birmingham accent; instead, the team shifted the character’s background so a Romani accent made sense — and it ends up sharpening who Kaulo is.

  Steven Knight calls her 'spiritual and formidable' — think of her as a powerful echo of the role Polly Gray once anchored.

• Tim Roth as Beckett — The skin-crawling kind of villain who never raises his voice. Beckett is a British fascist sympathizer who slips into Duke’s orbit. Roth has stressed the character isn’t deranged; he’s calm.

  'Reasonable and measured.' Which is exactly why he’s terrifying.

• Barry Keoghan as Duke Shelby — Introduced in Season 6 as Tommy’s grown, illegitimate son, raised Romani and deeply wary of the family machine. Now he’s running the Blinders like the fallout will sort itself out. Keoghan’s recent run (Saltburn, The Banshees of Inisherin) makes this casting feel inevitable: restless, unpredictable, a live wire.
• Jay Lycurgo — Announced alongside Roth in September 2024, but his role is still under wraps. You’ve likely seen him in The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself and DC’s Titans, and he also crossed paths with Murphy in Steve. He tends to play sharp, combustible characters with loyalties that don’t sit still — which is very on brand for this world.

Who else is back

A handful of familiar faces return to give the film the lived-in texture the series built over six seasons. They don’t appear to sit in the main plot crosshairs, but this world has always relied on its bench as much as its star.

And who is not

Some memorable figures from the series won’t be in The Immortal Man. A few characters died, a few actors didn’t come back, and one absence is permanent in the most gutting way. You can feel the film acknowledging that loss — and in Ferguson’s Kaulo, you can feel the story making space for a new kind of force without replacing what can’t be replaced.

The vibe

Six seasons built one of TV’s most meticulously cast, historically charged crime sagas. That is a tall order to follow. But between Murphy’s weary gravitas, Keoghan’s volatility, Ferguson’s presence, and Roth’s chilling restraint, the lineup looks sharp. March 20 can’t come fast enough.
