Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man Debuts on Netflix With a Next-Generation Handoff

Reviews praise Cillian Murphy’s return, signaling a franchise pivot beyond Tommy Shelby.

Overview

  • The feature-length chapter is now streaming on Netflix after a short theatrical run, shifting the story to 1940 Birmingham with a Nazi-linked conspiracy.
  • Barry Keoghan portrays Duke in a prominent, recast role that positions the character for the franchise’s next phase.
  • New additions Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Roth join a leaner returning lineup, and Nick Cave recorded a new Red Right Hand to reflect an older, more reflective Tommy.
  • Critical response is broadly positive, with plaudits for cinematic scale and Murphy’s performance, while viewer reactions are more varied; Rotten Tomatoes sits around 91%.
  • TVLine reports that Netflix has ordered two seasons of a sequel series, framing the film as a bridge to what comes next.
