Netflix will bring the Shelby saga to a close with Peaky Blinders: The Immortal, a brand-new feature film premiering on March 20, 2026. Designed as a direct conclusion to the beloved series created by Steven Knight, the film essentially serves as a seventh season. Directed by Tom Harper and written by Steven Knight, it marks the return of Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby, the iconic figure at the heart of this British crime drama.
The story is set in Birmingham in 1940, during the chaos of World War II. Having withdrawn from the world following the events of the series, Tommy Shelby is forced to end his self-imposed exile as a new threat emerges that goes far beyond his family's affairs. The fate of the Peaky Blinders becomes intertwined with that of a country teetering on the brink of chaos, as the inner struggles of their leader resurface.
Haunted by his past and faced with irreversible decisions, Tommy must choose whether to fully embrace the Shelby legacy or to put an end to it once and for all. The film promises to be a finale that wraps up the series, weaving together political ambitions, criminal loyalties, and personal tragedies against a backdrop of a historical setting unlike any other for the franchise.
Leading the cast around Cillian Murphy are several prominent figures from film and television. Rebecca Ferguson joins the lineup alongside Tim Roth, Barry Keoghan, Sophie Rundle, and Stephen Graham. This ensemble of characters guides fans through the ongoing evolution of a universe that has continually reinvented itself across seasons, all while maintaining its dark, stylish identity.
Created by Steven Knight in 2013, Peaky Blinders has established itself as one of the most influential British series of the past decade. Its polished aesthetic, modern soundtrack, and Dickensian take on the interwar period have all played a role in expanding its global appeal. Opting for a feature-length finale allows the creators to deepen the story and elevate the visual scope of the saga even further.
Set against the backdrop of World War II, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal aims to go beyond its crime-drama roots, exploring the end of an era and the weight of legacy. The tone is expected to be darker and more introspective, focusing on Tommy Shelby confronting his inner demons in what is envisioned as a definitive farewell to the series.
