Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Trailer Sees Cillian Murphy’s Thomas Shelby Go Full Godfather
The first teaser for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man has landed, crackling with menace. Cillian Murphy slips back into Tommy Shelby as Netflix’s new film drags the crime boss into a Godfather-style reckoning. Six seasons on, the razor king still can’t walk away.
Netflix just dropped the first teaser for 'Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man,' and it looks like Tommy Shelby tried to bow out gracefully and the universe said: absolutely not. It is the classic Godfather-style problem — try to retire from the life, get dragged right back in.
What the teaser sets up
- Cillian Murphy is back as Tommy Shelby, one last time. He told Empire he will not return to the role after this movie.
- The footage jumps from a battered, bombed-out Birmingham to Tommy on an active World War II mission — which is a big timeline jump after the series finale, and a pretty striking one.
- Across six seasons, Tommy clawed his way toward some kind of peace. He walked away, living like a nomad. The movie is very clearly about that peace getting shattered and Tommy suiting up for one more fight.
- Barry Keoghan is on board as the leader of a new generation of Peaky Blinders, which sure sounds like a baton pass baked into the story.
- Sophie Rundle returns as Ada Thorne.
- Release date: March 20, 2026, on Netflix in the US.
Where we left Tommy vs. where we are now
The show ended with a redemption arc: Tommy stepped away from his empire and finally seemed to make peace with all the blood on his hands. Not exactly a man itching for more boardroom explosions and shootouts.
The movie flips that on its head. The teaser points to a city in ruins and Tommy in wartime mode, which is a big swing considering the series left him roaming free and off the grid. The setup feels deliberate: he got out, but the world changed around him — and he is the only one who can deal with what it became.
Final ride for Cillian Murphy (for real)
Murphy confirmed to Empire that 'The Immortal Man' is his last time as Tommy. So if you have been waiting for a definitive end to the character, this is it. The casting of Barry Keoghan as the new-generation Peaky leader makes that even clearer: the franchise is prepping for life after Tommy.
The vibe and the stakes
This is very much the 'you can leave the business, but the business will not leave you' chapter. Fans are already bracing for the worst because in stories like this, gangsters do not exactly enjoy long retirements. Whether that means Tommy goes out in a blaze or just finally closes the book is the question the movie is clearly teasing.
'Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man' lands March 20, 2026 on Netflix (USA). The teaser is live now, and based on the quick cuts from shattered streets to wartime operations, the show we knew is evolving into a full-on wartime crime epic for its finale.
