Peaky Blinders movie gets March 2026 release date

The release date for the much-anticipated Peaky Blinders film has finally been confirmed and it’s sooner than you might’ve thought.

But the announcement from Netflix today (5 December) looks to have confirmed some fans’ worst fears.

The streamer officially confirmed that Cillian Murphy would be returning as Tommy Shelby back in 2024, with Tom Harper director. The creator of Peaky Blinders, Steven Knight, also wrote the script for the film and it features a number of other returning favourites.

However, one name missing from the latest release is actor Paul Anderson, who played gangster Arthur Shelby in the original BBC series. Fans have speculated over the last year or so as to whether or not he would return to the world of Peaky for the film.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Following on from the iconic TV series, the new feature film continues the story as the Shelby clan enters a new era.

Of course set in Birmingham, it’s 1940 and while World War Two is playing out, Tommy Shelby is ‘driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet’.

“The country is at war, and so, of course, are our Peaky Blinders,” Knight told Netflix. “It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.”

Tommy’s got a decision to make in The Immortal Man, will he choose to confront his legacy or ‘burn it to the ground’.

Murphy said this is ‘one for the fans’ as it seems Tommy ‘wasn’t finished with me’.

Film release date

It will have been nearly four whole years since Peaky Blinders came to an end on the BBC when The Immortal Man is released.

The film will land in select cinemas first on 6 March, 2026, and it will then land on Netflix on 20 March, 2026.

Peaky Blinders cast

So, the new and returning cast for the film so far has been announced as:

· Cillian Murphy

· Rebecca Ferguson

· Tim Roth

· Sophie Rundle

· Ned Dennehy

· Packy Lee

· Ian Peck

· Jay Lycurgo

· Barry Keoghan

· Stephen Graham

With some pretty impressive names on this cast list, it does seem to confirm however that Anderson is not returning to the world of Peaky Blinders. Over recent years, he has faced ‘struggles’, including legal trouble.

Either way, it’s fair to say fans are absolutely buzzing that Peaky is back as they wrote on social media: “The hype is real.”

Another said: “So we’re finally getting Tommy Shelby back? This is about to be a cultural reset....”

And of course, plenty reacted with the obvious: “By order of the Peaky Blinders.”
