“I’m not that man anymore.” That is the first lie Tommy Shelby tells in the new teaser trailer for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, and frankly, we know better. Netflix has officially kicked off the campaign for the highly anticipated feature film continuation of the hit series, confirming that the Shelby saga isn’t just returning—it’s going to theaters.
Set during the chaos of World War II, the film brings Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy back to a bombed-out Birmingham. The marketing drop includes both a moody first teaser and a poster that positions Tommy exactly where we expect him: bloodied, on horseback, and looking for trouble.
The Teaser: War Comes to Birmingham
The teaser trailer frames the film not as a victory lap, but as a “destructive reckoning.” The footage establishes a 1940 setting, with Tommy Shelby driven back from self-imposed exile to face threats that are now national in scale. The brief clip anchors itself on Tommy’s claim that he has changed, juxtaposed against the reality of secret wartime missions based on true events.
Complementing the footage, the new poster art leans into the “Western in the Midlands” aesthetic that defined the series. It depicts Murphy on a dark horse, face cut and bruised, signaling that while the timeline has moved to the 1940s, the violence remains visceral.
A Rare Theatrical Commitment
In a move that highlights the perceived prestige of the project, Netflix is breaking its usual model. Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man will not be dumped straight onto the algorithm. The film is set for a select theatrical release starting March 6, 2026, granting it a two-week exclusive run on the big screen before it streams on March 20.
This strategy suggests Netflix and the creative team—led by director Tom Harper and writer Steven Knight—are banking on the “epic” scope of the film. Harper, who directed episodes of the original series along with films like Wild Rose, is working with a stacked ensemble. New additions include Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, and Saltburn star Barry Keoghan, joining returning veterans like Stephen Graham and Sophie Rundle.
The transition from series finale to feature film is a risky path, often resulting in bloated, unnecessary epilogues. However, by thrusting the narrative into the Blitz and confronting Tommy with his “legacy,” The Immortal Man seems intent on justifying its existence. We will find out if Tommy burns his legacy to the ground or saves it when the film arrives this March.
