You can watch Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man online in 4K right now — the 2026 continuation of the beloved BBC crime drama is available globally on Netflix and through InfinityTV's on-demand library of 150,000+ Movies & Series.

What Is Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man?

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is a 2026 British crime-drama film directed by Tom Harper and written by Steven Knight — the creator and principal writer of the original BBC television series. The film stars Cillian Murphy reprising his role as Thomas Shelby, the complex, damaged, and brilliant leader of the Birmingham Peaky Blinders gang.

The film premiered at Symphony Hall, Birmingham on March 2, 2026, released in select cinemas on March 6, 2026, and globally on Netflix on March 20, 2026.

The Story

Set in the late 1930s, Thomas Shelby must contend with Tim Roth as John Beckett, a Nazi agent using economic subterfuge to destabilise the United Kingdom. The film continues the historical sweep of the television series — which opened in the aftermath of World War One and progressed through the 1920s and into the 1930s — now placing Shelby in the rising shadow of fascism in Europe. Barry Keoghan plays Duke Shelby, Tommy's eldest son and the current leader of the Peaky Blinders, while Stephen Graham returns as Hayden Stagg, the dockworker known as the Liverpool King.

Full Cast

Returning from the television series: Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, and Ian Peck. New additions include Rebecca Ferguson and Jay Lycurgo alongside Keoghan, Roth, and Graham.

The Creative Team

Steven Knight created Peaky Blinders in 2013 and wrote the majority of its six series. His screenwriting — known for its poetic register, historical grounding, and the peculiar gravity he brings to dialogue — gives the franchise its distinctive voice. Tom Harper directed several of the television series' most admired episodes and brings deep familiarity with the material.

Why Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Is Essential Viewing

The Peaky Blinders television series built one of the most passionate audience bases in British television history. Thomas Shelby became a globally recognised character — brooding, violent, intellectually formidable, and emotionally imprisoned — and Cillian Murphy's performance was widely regarded as one of the best in television during the 2010s and early 2020s. His Academy Award win for Best Actor for Oppenheimer (2023) only deepened interest in what he would do next.

The film's scale — a proper theatrical production budget, an exceptional ensemble, and a historical context (the rise of European fascism) that has never felt more resonant — suggests a creative team that treated the transition from television to cinema with genuine ambition rather than as a cash-out.

Barry Keoghan's casting as Duke Shelby is a masterstroke. Keoghan, one of the most compelling and unpredictable performers of his generation, brings a different energy to the Shelby family than Cillian Murphy's controlled intensity. The dynamic between Tommy and his son — continuity versus rupture — is one of the film's central tensions.

The Peaky Blinders Timeline: Where This Film Fits

The television series ran six series between 2013 and 2022, covering the period from approximately 1919 to the mid-1930s. The Immortal Man moves the story into the late 1930s, with the threat of World War Two looming. Key context:

• Series 1-2: Immediate post-WWI Birmingham, Tommy's rise within the criminal underworld
• Series 3-4: Expansion and confrontation with organised crime and political forces
• Series 5: Tommy enters parliament; the rise of British fascism is a major storyline
• Series 6: Resolution of several long-running arcs; Tommy faces existential choices
• The Immortal Man (2026): A new chapter, with the next generation (Duke Shelby) assuming leadership while Tommy confronts Nazi economic infiltration

A Note on Streaming Period Crime Drama in 4K

Period crime drama benefits substantially from 4K resolution and HDR. The design work — costumes, set dressing, practical lighting — becomes richer at higher resolution. The Peaky Blinders visual style, with its heavy use of stylised smoke, amber light, and deep shadow, was designed for large-screen theatrical display on this film. Watching in 4K at home reproduces that intent most faithfully.

Do You Need to Watch the TV Series Before The Immortal Man?

This is the most common question asked by new viewers considering the film, and the honest answer is: it depends on how much you value context.

The Immortal Man was designed with both audiences in mind. Steven Knight wrote the screenplay knowing that the film would reach a global Netflix audience that includes many viewers with no prior exposure to the BBC series. The film therefore establishes Thomas Shelby's character, his history, and the Peaky Blinders organisation sufficiently for a newcomer to follow the plot and understand the stakes. You do not need six series of backstory to enjoy the film as a standalone crime thriller.

However, the emotional weight of the film — particularly the scenes between Tommy and Duke, and the scenes involving characters who return from the television series — lands with significantly more force if you have watched the original run. The relationship between Tommy and Polly Gray, the events of Series 6, and the specific nature of Tommy's psychological state all inform scenes that a newcomer will experience as interesting but which a familiar viewer will experience as deeply affecting.

The practical recommendation: if you have never seen Peaky Blinders and are short on time, the film works on its own terms. If you have the appetite, watching at least Series 1 and 2 of the television series — which establish the Shelby family, the Birmingham setting, and Tommy's character — will substantially enrich the film. InfinityTV's catalogue supports back-catalogue catch-up viewing for both.

Cillian Murphy's Academy Award win for Oppenheimer in 2023 brought a wave of new attention to his earlier work, and Peaky Blinders benefited significantly from that renewed interest. Many viewers who discovered the television series through Murphy's Oscar profile came to The Immortal Man as their first Peaky Blinders experience and found it an entirely satisfying entry point.
