Peaky Blinders Movie 2026: Release Date, Cast, Netflix

Few shows have burrowed into the cultural imagination quite like Peaky Blinders, and the announcement of a feature film has fans counting the days as Cillian Murphy returns as Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, a Netflix film that picks up the story in 1940 Birmingham, and the first trailer already confirms a March 2026 release window. Here’s everything we know so far about the movie, from its plot and cast to where you can watch it.

Release Date: March 2026 ·
Director: Tom Harper ·
Writer: Steven Knight ·
Streaming Service: Netflix ·
Title: Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Six key details reveal the film’s basic profile: director, writer, stars, runtime, genre, and rating.

Will the Peaky Blinders movie come out?

Yes, the film is very real and already in post-production. Titled Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, it was officially confirmed by Netflix (streaming platform and co-producer) alongside a full trailer. The film is directed by Tom Harper, who also directed the series in its earlier seasons, and written by series creator Steven Knight (Times of India, citing production notes).

The implication: This film essentially serves as the series’ extended finale, bridging the gap between the show’s ending and a cinematic conclusion.

Is Peaky Blinders coming out in March 2026?

Absolutely. The official trailer states the film premieres in select cinemas on March 6, 2026, and lands on Netflix on March 20, 2026 (Netflix Official Trailer). A Birmingham premiere already took place on March 2, 2026 (Times of India, reporting on the event). Exact regional showtimes and ticket sales will likely be announced a few weeks before the theatrical window.

The pattern: this dual release is becoming standard for Netflix originals, giving the film a brief big-screen run before wide streaming availability.

Will The Immortal Man be on Netflix?

Yes, it is a Netflix original film and will be available on Netflix globally starting March 20, 2026 (Movie Insider). The streaming release comes two weeks after the limited theatrical launch, which is consistent with other Netflix event films like Glass Onion and The Irishman.

The catch: The two-week delay means fans in non-streaming regions may need patience, but the global date ensures simultaneous access for Netflix subscribers everywhere.

Why is Finn no longer a Peaky Blinder?

Finn Shelby, played by Harry Kirton, is notably absent from the film’s cast list. According to a report from FandomWire (entertainment news outlet), Finn was expelled from the Peaky Blinders in the series finale after his betrayal—he sided with the IRA faction and broke the family’s code. His storyline concluded with the show’s final season, and the film moves forward without him.

The implication: the movie will focus squarely on Tommy Shelby’s personal reckoning, unburdened by the family dynamics that defined the later series.

Is Cillian Murphy a heavy smoker?

The character Tommy Shelby is rarely seen without a cigarette, and Murphy’s performance includes a distinctive habit of rubbing the cigarette on his lips before lighting it—a gesture that has become iconic (Express, entertainment column). However, Murphy’s real-life smoking habits are not publicly confirmed; the on-screen chain-smoking is a character choice. The claim that the actor smokes 100 cigarettes a day appears to be a rumor that originated from fan forums and has not been verified by any credible source (FandomWire, citing social media speculation).

The trade-off: the habit adds authenticity to Tommy’s wartime grit, but it also raises questions about the actor’s well-being—questions that remain unanswered.
