When is ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’ coming to Netflix? Thomas Shelby fans only have a short wait
Fans of the British crime drama ‘Peaky Blinders’ finally have something new to chew on. A new film titled ‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’ has slipped into select movie theaters this weekend. For a show that wrapped its six-season run back in 2022, the appetite never really faded. People kept quoting lines, rewatching old episodes, arguing over the best Shelby schemes. And now, the franchise has returned with a full-length feature that pushes the story forward rather than simply revisiting old memories. At the center of it all, of course, is Cillian Murphy, who steps back into the sharp-suited shoes of Thomas Shelby. The character has never been one to sit still for long, but the film finds him in a different place than before.
He had stepped away from everything, choosing distance and silence. But history, especially wartime history, has a way of pulling people back whether they like it or not. The story moves into the storm of World War II, which means Thomas Shelby is forced to confront problems far bigger than gang rivalries or Birmingham street politics. The familiar Shelby circle returns alongside Murphy. Faces that long-time viewers will instantly recognize pop up again, including Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, Ian Peck, and Stephen Graham. But the movie isn’t relying only on familiar faces. A few new players step into the smoky world as well. Rebecca Ferguson joins the cast, along with Tim Roth, Jay Lycurgo, and Barry Keoghan.
Behind the camera, the film keeps the creative DNA that made the series work in the first place. The script comes from Steven Knight, the mind who created the original show and spent years steering its storylines. Directing duties fall to Tom Harper, who previously helmed episodes during the television run. Right now, the only place to watch ‘The Immortal Man’ is in a movie theater. The film began screening in select U.S. theaters starting Friday, March 6, which means fans who want the big-screen experience have a limited window to catch it that way. And yes, it’s a short window. After two weeks in theaters, the movie will shift over to streaming on Netflix, since the project was developed as a Netflix original.
That means the streaming service will eventually become the main home for the film. The platform has announced that the movie will arrive there on March 20. Once that date hits, subscribers will be able to watch the film from home, the same way they watched the entire series run. For anyone wondering how that works, Netflix currently offers several subscription tiers depending on what viewers want. Plans start around $7.99 per month for the ad-supported option and go up to about $24.99 monthly for the premium tier that allows ad-free streaming and higher-resolution viewing up to 4K.
