Over 13 years ago, the beloved crime series Peaky Blinders became a phenomenon. Created by Steven Knight and starring Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby, the series defined historical gangster shows, inspired a certain kind of haircut, and solidified Murphy as one of the greatest actors of our time. Now, four years after Peaky Blinders Season 6 seemed to end the show forever, there's one more story left in the life of Tommy Shelby. The feature film Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is coming to Netflix very soon.
In fact, The Immortal Man is already playing in theaters for a limited time, and currently, has an impressive 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Here's what to know about the movie's upcoming streaming release, plus hints as to the plot and whether or not this is really the end of the Peaky Blinders franchise.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Release Date
The new film Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man will continue a theatrical run through the end of March 2026. And, on March 20, 2026, the film will hit Netflix. Generally, Netflix's new releases start streaming at 3:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the day of release. So, if you're staying up late on Thursday, March 19, that's when you'll get the first streaming glimpse of the movie.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Trailer and Plot
The Immortal Man is set in 1940, well after the events of the series. As revealed in the trailer, the main focus of the film is all about Tommy's son, Duke Shelby (Barry Keoghan), who has taken over the famous Peaky Blinders crime syndicate. And, it seems that Duke is entangled with Nazi Germany, leading Tommy to confront his son in an epic power struggle that could impact the rest of the world.
The movie also stars Rebecca Ferguson in the dual role of twins named Kaulo and Zelda, Tim Roth as John Beckett, Sophie Rundle as Ada Thorne, and Ned Dennehy as Charlie Strong.
Do you need to watch all of Peaky Blinders to watch The Immortal Man?
Interestingly, because the film takes place after the series and Tommy is retired from his crime boss life, The Immortal Man could be watched as a standalone movie. Even if you're fuzzy on the series that came before, this movie is self-contained and tells a unique story about Tommy and his legacy. That said, if you've seen all six seasons of the show, you'll obviously understand the references and connections on a deeper level.
What is the Song in the Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Trailer?
The trailer for The Immortal Man features a haunting and badass track called "Puppet." And, if the voice of the singer seems familiar, that's none other than Grian Chatten, the lead singer of the Irish post-punk band Fontaines D.C.
The song is composed by Chatten, Antony Genn, and Martin Slattery, and there will be additional songs from this team throughout the movie. Genn and Slattery were once in a band called The Hours. Other Fontaines D.C. band members, Tom Coll and Carlos O'Connell, will also feature on additional music composed for the film.
Who are Fontaines D.C.?
If you're not listening to Fontaines D.C., you need to start right away. In 2025, American viewers were likely introduced to the band because their epic song "Starburster" was part of the opening credits of MobLand. The Irish band has released four studio albums, starting with Dogrel in 2019. Romance is their most recent album, which came out in 2024. The "D.C." in their name refers to "Dublin City," which is where the band was formed.
Though the Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man soundtrack isn't technically a Fontaines D.C. album, with so many members of the band working on it, for fans of the band, it's the next best thing.
The original Peaky Blinders TV series streams on Netflix.
