Peaky Blinders Film Caps Tommy Shelby’s Arc as Creator Clarifies Who’s Missing

Steven Knight calls the Netflix release a focused story shaped by tight casting.

Overview

  • The Immortal Man is now streaming on Netflix after a short theatrical run and is presented by Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby’s final chapter.
  • The film trims the ensemble to keep the story tight, leaving out several familiar faces from the TV series such as Arthur, Lizzie, and Finn.
  • Steven Knight says Finn Shelby is alive and living in Liverpool, which explains his absence from the movie.
  • Knight considered a twist that would reveal Tom Hardy’s Alfie Solomons as a ghost but decided not to use it.
  • Two new seasons set in 1953 have been commissioned to continue the Peaky Blinders world without Tommy at the center.
