The famous BBC drama, Peaky Blinders, ran from 2013 to 2022 and is going to get its first follow-up film after its six successful seasons. It soon became a worldwide smash hit and has gathered a humongous fanbase.
Steven Knight’s big screen adaptation of his famous series, Peaky Blinders, was the much-awaited project of the year. Finally, Netflix dropped the first teaser of what is known as Peaky Blinders The Immortal Man trailer.
Plot details of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (2026)
The Oscar-winning actor, Cillian Murphy, will be reprising his BAFTA-winning series role, Tommy Shelby. It is set in 1940, Birmingham, after the chaos of World War II, where Tommy will be seen returning after a self-imposed exile.
He needs to face his most dangerous feat that has the futures of his family and country at stake. Tommy will have to choose between the dilemma of confronting his own demons and the legacy.

Steven Knight’s perspective on the film
The writer, Steven Knight, didn’t reveal the reason for Tommy’s return to Birmingham. He was long gone after the happenings of the last season, but no one knows where he was. Neither does the trailer uncover his whereabouts, but we do know from the trailer that he is pulled back to the place.
Knight hoped that it would look like “the end of a novel,” keeping it as a continuation to the next announced sequels. The Immortal Man will serve as a connection to the next two greenlit seasons for Peaky Blinders. The series is meant to pick up ten years after The Immortal Man.
An ambiguity is attached to Tommy’s character, but now he has to exist in the explosive town once again against the backdrop of World War II.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Knight disclosed some details about the film,
“Once again, it will be rooted in Birmingham and will tell the story of a city rising from the ashes of the Birmingham blitz. The new generation of Shelbys has taken the wheel, and it will be a hell of a ride.” [Source]
Could the Peaky Blinders The Immortal Man trailer change everything we know about the series?
One thing is confirmed from the trailer: the story will shift into a new, higher-stakes era set during the Second World War. The Peaky Blinders universe is expected to expand and promises to show a definitive closure to Tommy’s saga.
Since the series concluded in the early 1930s, Tommy Shelby has been out of the picture. The upcoming film, set in the 1940s, leaves fans wondering where he has been all this time. The story appears to center on Tommy’s return—whether it will explore the years of his absence or focus solely on his comeback in town remains a mystery.
The Immortal Man’s trailer shows hints of Nazis with a train bearing a swastika and figures performing one-armed Nazi salute. The film’s creator might have deliberately set the plot so that Tommy would face off against Nazi forces.
The trailer builds on the existing narrative of the Peaky Blinders-verse as the action-packed finale will honor the series in the new historical setting rather than an alteration of the past events. Evidently, the story is moving forward.
The film holds a significant place in the Peaky Blinders timeline as the next two seasons will feature a new generation of Shelbys. The town will become both an opportunity and a threat, which might lead to the Shelby family’s blood-soaked tale.
