Cillian Murphy returns in full force as Tommy Shelby in The Immortal Man, a searing continuation of the Peaky Blinders saga set in the gritty aftermath of World War II. Now in the 1940s, Birmingham has evolvedβand so has its most infamous son. Haunted by the sins that crowned him king of the underworld, Tommy walks a tightrope between redemption and ruin, with enemies lurking in every shadow.
Directed by Tom Harper, the film delivers a raw and immersive experience, weaving sharply written dialogue with moments of explosive tension. As alliances fracture and new empires rise, Tommy must navigate a criminal landscape where loyalty is expendable, and the past is never truly buried.
The supporting cast raises the stakes: Stephen Graham plays a cold-blooded adversary with his eye on the throne; Rebecca Ferguson is a cunning double agent tangled in both desire and deception; and Barry Keoghan brings unpredictability and edge as a dangerous wildcard whose allegiance is a mystery. Together, they fuel a high-stakes narrative built on betrayal, ambition, and survival.
Visually stunning and soaked in atmosphere, the film was shot on location at Digbeth Loc Studios, capturing the eraβs haunting grit. The music pulses like a heartbeat, layering in dread and drive, while smoky interiors and cobbled alleys echo with the weight of unspeakable choices.
The Immortal Man isnβt just a return to a beloved characterβitβs a bold reckoning. Brutal, stylish, and emotionally complex, this Netflix feature is a must-watch event for fans of Peaky Blinders and anyone who loves crime stories forged in fire.
