Peaky Blinders trailer shows Tommy Shelby’s return and a son played by Barry Keoghan
The first full trailer for the new peaky blinders film The Immortal Man has been released, plunging an older Tommy Shelby back into 1940 Birmingham and introducing an illegitimate son, Duke Shelby, played by Barry Keoghan.
Peaky Blinders returns to wartime Small Heath
The trailer, slightly more than two minutes long, opens on a version of Small Heath altered by World War Two and frames Tommy as a man pulled from exile to confront long-buried choices. Press notes describe him as being "driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet, " and add that "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. "
Cillian Murphy, Barry Keoghan and a rebuilt Shelby clan
Cillian Murphy returns as Tommy Shelby; the trailer highlights that Murphy is an Oscar winner for his role in Oppenheimer. New additions include Rebecca Ferguson and Tim Roth, while Stephen Graham and Sophie Rundle are back in familiar roles. Barry Keoghan appears as Duke Shelby, described in the trailer as Tommy's illegitimate firstborn and the man now running the gang.
Confrontations, family lines and what the trailer reveals
The trailer leans on sharp exchanges to map the new stakes: Rebecca Ferguson's character warns Tommy that he lives in "a house haunted with ghosts of people who died because of you... You abandoned your kingdom and you abandoned your son. " Ada tells Tommy, "Your gypsy son is running the Peaky Blinders like it's 1919, all over again. " Tommy replies, "I can't help him, because I'm not that man anymore, " a line that the footage clearly challenges.
Barry Keoghan, who received an Oscar nomination for his role in The Banshees of Inisherin, is positioned as a menacing young leader in the gang while Tommy faces both personal and national decisions. The film follows the TV drama created by Steven Knight and places those choices against the backdrop of wartime Britain.
The trailer establishes mood, cast and conflict but does not include a release date for the film. Netflix released the first full trailer for The Immortal Man; the footage lays out the central showdown between Tommy and his son and signals the film will pick up themes of legacy and consequence left over from the series.
The studio has not revealed a premiere date in the trailer itself; the clip functions as the first full look ahead of whatever the film's next scheduled marketing or release steps will be.
