It’s finally here – and no, Peaky Blinders The fans are not well.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man was released on Netflix on March 20, 2026 and wastes no time throwing punches, emotional or otherwise.
In the center? A brutal, slow clash between Cillian Murphy’s worn-out Tommy Shelby and Barry Keoghan’s Duke, the son who not only stepped into his father’s shoes… but rewrote the rules.
Set during the chaos of World War II Birmingham, the film finds Tommy a ghost of himself: tormented, isolated and fed up with the empire he built.
Meanwhile, Duke is making deals that would make even old-school Shelby blink.
The tension? Oh, it’s personal.
“He lives in this purgatory that he created 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? It makes Duke more than just “the son.” There is ambition, of course, but also that silent and painful need for approval. It is causing a generational trauma… with better suits.
The supporting cast is also strong: Rebecca Ferguson adds mystery, Sophie Rundle brings political edge, and Tim Roth leans fully into charm and danger.
Visually, it’s all smoky streets, fancy tailoring, and existential dread (hence the classic Blinders). The skates? Bigger than ever – think war, betrayal, and forgery schemes tied to real history.
Is it perfect? Not quite. It moves fast, sometimes too fast. But when things slow down for Tommy and Duke, it hits them hard.
So… does it stand firm on the landing?
It depends: are you ready to say goodbye to Tommy Shelby?
