Overview
- Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man ranked No. 1 worldwide on Netflix in its first week with about 25.3 million views, according to Netflix’s weekly rankings cited in industry reports.
- The feature followed a brief theatrical run before its streaming launch, turning the series continuation into a broad, on‑platform event.
- Creator Steven Knight says Duke Shelby will feature in what comes next, with two seasons set in 1950s Birmingham in development for the BBC and Netflix.
- Barry Keoghan now plays Duke Shelby, a recast from Conrad Khan that Knight attributed to a six‑year time jump between the series and the film.
- Some long‑running characters are absent for established reasons, including earlier story exits and the deaths of Helen McCrory and Benjamin Zephaniah, as the narrative narrows to set up a new generation.
