The first full trailer for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man has been released by Netflix, confirming the transition of the hit TV series Peaky Blinders into a feature-length movie set during World War 2.

Set in Birmingham in 1940, the film sees Cillian Murphy reprise his role as Tommy Shelby, returning from self-imposed exile as the city and his empire faces the realities of war time Britain.

Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby Returns to a War-Torn Birmingham

The Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Trailer opens with an older Tommy Shelby stepping back into Small Hearth amid the destruction of war. Haunted by past decisions, he is warned that his home is filled with the ghosts of those who died because of him.

Ada Shelby reveals that Tommy's son is now running the Peaky Blinders "like it's 1919 again," setting up a tense family reckoning. The war outside mirrors the conflict inside the Shelby household, raising the stakes for both family and country.

The Immortal Man Trailer Introduces Duke Shelby & a Generational Clash

A major turning point in the trailer is Tommy's confrontation with his estranged son, Duke Shelby, portrayed by Barry Keoghan. Now leading the gang in his father's absence, Duke represents inheritance and rebellion.

The dynamic between father and son forms the emotional spine of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. Duke is portrayed as volatile and ambitious, steering the gang through war time chaos. In one charged exchange, Tommy admits he cannot help his son because he is "not the man anymore," signalling a deep internal shift.

Adding to the tension, Tim Roth appears as an English officer who privately pressures Duke with the possibility of betraying his own country by aiding the Nazis. The suggestion of treason elevates the stakes from family drama to national crisis, intertwining gang politics with global war.

The trailer also confirms the return of Stephen Graham, reinforcing the layered alliances and rivalries that defined the original Peaky Blinders series.

From BBC TV Series to Netflix Movie: The Shelby Saga Expands

First airing on BBC Two in 2013 before gaining global reach on Netflix, Peaky Blinders became one of the Britain's most acclaimed crime dramas, winning a BAFTA for Best Drama Series. Now, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man takes the story from TV series to movie, expanding the Shelby legacy onto a cinematic scale.

Directed by Tom Harper and written by Steven Knight, the film retains the frit of the original while placing Tommy Shelby in 1940 Birmingham under the shadow of war. The trailer blends bombed streets, tense Garrison Pub confrontations and fractured family ties, ending with a defining question, will Tommy reclaim his empire, or let it fall during war time?

Set for a March theatrical release before streaming on Netflix, the movie marks Cillian Murphy's return to the role that shaped modern television, this time in a story that pushes Peaky Blinders beyond nostalgia and into most decisive chapter yet.
