Cillian Murphy back as Tommy Shelby in the new Peaky Blinders sequel film coming to cinemas and Netflix next March

Cillian Murphy returns as Tommy Shelby in the electrifying first trailer for the forthcoming Netflix film, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.

The eagerly awaited film sequel to the hugely successful BBC period crime drama has been penned by showrunner Steven Knight and helmed by director Tom Harper.

The cast boasts several heavyweight names from television and cinema, including Rebecca Ferguson from Dune, Tim Roth of Reservoir Dogs fame, Sophie Rundle from Gentleman Jack, and Oscar-nominated actor Barry Keoghan, known for his role in Saltburn.

The film’s synopsis states: “Birmingham, 1940. Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet.

“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. By order of the Peaky Blinders…”, reports Birmingham Live.

The teaser opens with scenes of the legendary gangster as a voiceover questions: “Whatever happened to Tommy Shelby? The famous gypsy gangster.”

Tommy declares “I’m not that man anymore”, before images of a catastrophic explosion flash across the screen.

A woman’s voice then urges him, “Tommy, you’ve got to come back”, prompting him to slam his hands down on a desk as rapid-fire sequences showcase intense action alongside the film’s fresh faces joining the Peaky Blinders universe.

The trailer concludes with Tommy striding determinedly in slow-motion towards the camera before the film’s title appears. Netflix has announced the feature film will arrive in selected cinemas on 6 March before becoming available for streaming a fortnight later on Friday, 20 March.

The one-minute teaser is rapidly accumulating views as thrilled fans flooded the comments section, eagerly awaiting the gripping sequel to the acclaimed drama which wrapped up in 2022.

One YouTube viewer declared: “Holy S#@! Tommy is back. Legendary character, Legendary show, bring it on, By order of the Peaky Blinders.”
