The new Peaky Blinders movie, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man , follows Tommy Shelby after he’s been living in self-exile, then gets pulled back into action when his estranged son becomes entangled in a Nazi plot. The story is set during World War II, with Tommy returning to a bombed Birmingham and getting involved in secret wartime missions while confronting his past.

What it seems to focus on

  • Tommy Shelby as an older, more haunted version of himself.
  • Family conflict, especially the estranged-son angle.
  • Wartime stakes, with the Nazis and covert missions raising the pressure.
  • The emotional aftermath of the series, not just the gangland action.

In plain English

It sounds less like a straight “crime boss” story and more like Tommy being forced back into a dangerous world because of family, war, and unfinished business. That mix is very Peaky Blinders: personal drama, violence, politics, and historical tension all at once.

Release context

The film is described as a 2026 continuation of the series, with Cillian Murphy returning as Tommy Shelby. Some coverage also notes it’s intended to work as both a standalone film and a bridge for the larger Peaky universe.
