Filming on The Immortal Man – the big screen version of the much-loved Peaky Blinders TV show – has wrapped filming, so here is all we know about the movie.
The Peaky Blinders TV series, which told the story about a group of gangsters in Birmingham in the early years of the 20th century, has become a global phenomenon.
The show ran for six seasons and 36 episodes from 2013-22. The show was initially set in 1919, just after the end of World War I, and follows Tommy Shelby, his family and members of the gang until 1933. It followed Shelby’s rise in the gangster world to eventually being elected to Parliament and fighting fascists. It was shown on the BBC in the UK and Netflix around the world.
As soon as the show ended, there was talk about making a movie version of the show and creator and writer Steven Knight confirmed it was happening in December 2023, with filming starting in September.
Titled The Immortal Man, here is what we know about the Peaky Blinders film.
When is The Immortal Man set?
The Immortal Man will be set some years after the conclusion of the Peaky Blinders TV series, with the action moving to the years of World War II (which took place between 1939-45).
The movie will focus on the Shelby family’s fortunes during the war period. Knight, talking to Esquire, has also said that the new generation of characters, introduced in season six, were also part of the film – although he didn’t elaborate on their roles.
In October, first shots from filming of The Immortal Man were released on social media.
Who is in The Immortal Man?
The good news for Peaky Blinders fans is that many of the cast of the TV series have signed on to star in the movie.

It is gratifying to be recollaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This one is for the fans.”
Other actors reprising roles include Paul Anderson, Stephen Graham, Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee and Ian Peck.
