'Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man' teaser trailer reveals Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby back in action

More than three years since its final episodes dropped on Netflix, a Peaky Blinders movie is heading our way. A teaser for the new film Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man just dropped, and it features Cillian Murphy’s gangster Tommy Shelby returning to his old ways despite leaving them all behind at the end of the TV series.

“Whatever happened to Tommy Shelby? The famous gypsy gangster?” a voice says in the new teaser, accompanied by shots of Murphy looking forlorn and alone.

“I’m not that man anymore,” Tommy says in the new video, which flashes to shots of the violence that plagued his life in the Peaky Blinders gang, like bombings and gunfire.

Unfortunately for Tommy and his clean slate, another voice says: “Tommy… you’ve got to come back.”

The official logline for the movie, according to Deadline, states that it will take place in 1940 Birmingham. “Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet,” the logline reads. “With the future of the family and the country at stake, Tommy must face his own demons and choose whether to confront his legacy or burn it to the ground.”

The Steven Knight-created Peaky Blinders, which originally aired on BBC in the U.K., released its final, sixth season on Netflix in June 2022, revealing many twists for the criminal Shelby family and their cohorts. The biggest twist, perhaps? That Tommy, who was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and was planning his suicide, wasn’t dying in mere months as his doctor had suggested. Instead, the ticking clock to his death was all a ruse.

While Tommy doesn’t literally die, he does face consequences for his bad behavior as the leader of the Peaky Blinders gang — and decides to start over. After his wife, Lizzie (Natasha O’Keeffe), leaves him, he torches his mansion, destroying everything associated with his criminal past. He walks away from the life he’s built and starts anew… but apparently, that fresh start is short-lived.

In addition to Murphy, who won Best Actor at the 2024 Oscars for his role in Oppenheimer, the new Peaky Blinders film includes Rebecca Ferguson, Sophie Rundle, Tim Roth, Stephen Graham and Barry Keoghan.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man arrives in select theaters on March 6 before heading to Netflix on March 20.
