Prepare yourselves, Peaky Blinders fans! The wait is almost over! We finally have a release date for the highly anticipated Peaky Blinders movie, and Netflix has just dropped a tantalizing first look. Get ready to return to the gritty world of Tommy Shelby and his family, because the Shelbys are back in business.
By order of Netflix (and the Peaky f**ing Blinders!), the movie, once rumored to be titled *The Immortal Man, will be hitting cinemas on March 6th, 2026, before landing on the streaming giant on March 20th, 2026. Mark your calendars, because you won't want to miss this. Netflix has released a moody teaser poster featuring Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby atop his horse, echoing the poignant final scene of the series. It's a powerful image that instantly transports us back to Birmingham.
The film has also earned an R rating in the US, which means we can expect a darker, more mature story, staying true to the show's intense and often violent nature. No holding back here! So, what can we expect from the plot? Series creator Steven Knight has teased that the movie will delve into "a sort of untold story that happened in the Second World War, which Peakys are going to be involved in." This opens up a whole new world of possibilities and historical context for the Shelby family's exploits.
Of course, Cillian Murphy will be back as the iconic Thomas Shelby, alongside familiar faces like Stephen Graham as the ever-intriguing Hayden Stagg, Sophie Rundle as Tommy's sister Ada, and Ned Dennehy as the reliable Charlie Strong. But here's where it gets even more exciting: the cast is being bolstered by some seriously impressive talent. Tim Roth, Barry Keoghan, and Jay Lycurgo (fresh off his BIFA win for his performance alongside Murphy in Netflix's Steve) are all joining the fray, promising to add new layers of complexity to the Peaky Blinders universe.
And this is the part most people miss... The addition of Rebecca Ferguson, known for her roles in Dune and Mission: Impossible, is a major coup. Ferguson herself expressed her excitement about joining the project, stating she's wanted to work with Cillian Murphy for a long time. She confessed to RadioTimes.com that getting the role was a "no-brainer" and an "honour", especially considering the show's devoted fanbase and established world. She acknowledged the pressure of stepping into such a beloved series, but seems ready to embrace the challenge.
But here's where it gets controversial... While the movie promises to be an epic chapter in the Peaky Blinders saga, it's not the end! As announced in October, the story will continue with not one, but two new seasons. However, these seasons will feature a time jump and focus on a new generation of Shelbys. The official synopsis hints at a brutal battle involving Birmingham's reconstruction project, promising a story of "mythical dimensions." This raises a big question: Can a new generation of Shelbys capture the magic of the original? Will fans embrace a completely different cast and time period?
Peaky Blinders is currently available to stream on BBC iPlayer. The movie will stream on Netflix, with subscriptions starting at £5.99 a month. You can also access Netflix through Sky Glass and Virgin Media.
