It’s finally here – and no, Peaky Blinders fans are not okay.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man dropped on Netflix on March 20, 2026, and it wastes no time in throwing punches—emotional and otherwise.
In the center? A brutal, slow-burning clash between Cillian Murphy’s down-and-out Tommy Shelby and Barry Keoghan’s Duke, the son who didn’t just step into his father’s shoes… he rewrote the rules.
Set amid the chaos of World War II Birmingham, the film finds Tommy as a ghost of himself – haunted, isolated and done with the empire he built.
Meanwhile, Duke is out there making deals that would make even old Shelby blink.
The excitement? Oh it’s personal.
“He’s living in this purgatory that he’s made for himself in this big old house, he’s not really alive, he’s not really dead.”
Murphy doesn’t just play Tommy – he haunts him.
And Keoghan? He makes Duke more than just “the son.” There is, of course, ambition – but also the quiet, painful need for approval. It causes generational trauma… with better suits.
The supporting cast is also strong – Rebecca Ferguson adds mystery, Sophie Rundle brings a political edge, and Tim Roth fully leans into charm-meets-danger.
Visually, it’s all smoky streets, sharp tailoring and existential dread (so classic Blinders). The skates? Bigger than ever – think war, betrayal and false plans tied to the real story.
Is it perfect? Not quite. It moves fast, sometimes too fast. But when it slows down for Tommy and Duke, it hits hard.
So… does it stick the landing?
Depends – Are you ready to say goodbye to Tommy Shelby?
