The ‘Peaky Blinders’ Saga Will Continue After ‘The Immortal Man’ Movie

The Peaky Blinders movie won’t be the finale to the Birmingham crime family’s saga, according to series creator and director Steven Knight. Members of the production team recently announced a wrap on The Immortal Man, a full-length feature film that will explore the evermore powerful Thomas Shelby and his Peakys’ place in WWII England, six-plus years after Season 6.

As Collider points out, makeup artist Nadia Stacey helped break the news on Instagram with a photo of parting gift—a bag featuring the stoic, in-character faces of leading man Cillian Murphy and Barry Keoghan, who will star in a yet-revealed role. Fellow makeup artist Olivia Charlotte joined in with behind-the-scenes snapshots of the crew.

“One of my favourite jobs ever,” Stacey wrote before thanking several colleagues and Soleil Jackson, the designer behind the bag. “It’s been a really special experience and I’ve met friends for life and some amazing actors. Cannot wait to show you what we’ve been up to.”

Very few details have been revealed the plot of the Immortal Man—it’s understood that many of the new characters who appeared in the last season of the TV series will have their stories continued. There’s some satisfying continuity in the WWII setting as well, given that the first Peaky Blinders season picked up immediately after WWI, a conflict that shaped the war veteran members of the Shelby clan for better and worse. In addition to Murphy and Keoghan, we also know that the cast also includes Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible, Dune), Tim Roth (Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs) and Stephen Graham’s reprisal of union man Hayden Stagg from Season 6.

While tight-lipped about anything relating to the movie’s story, Knight did drop a couple of vague nuggets that are sure to entice eager Peaky Blinders fans. When asked about a release date, Knight said, “It’s a bit too soon for that, but you know, you can sort of work out that it will be about a year,” he said in an interview with the U.K.’s Times Radio, per Deadline. That implies The Immortal Man could be released by the end of 2025.

When questioned whether the Peaky Blinders story would continue after the movie, Knight answered, “Well, it’s interesting you should ask that question because the film is coming out and that won’t be the end.” The interviewer pressed Knight on whether the format would be film or television for subsequent stories, but Knight kept quiet: “It won’t be the end, let me put it that way. I’m not saying none of it.”

One thing’s for sure: The Peaky Blinders haven’t given their last order yet.

Watch DJ Anyma Bring Out FKA Twigs, Grimes & Ellie Goulding At Las Vegas Sphere

The Sphere in Las Vegas is garnering acclaim as the world’s greatest arena—with rock bands U2, Phish, The Eagles, and Dead & Company all luring fans to the $2.3 billion venue that boasts the planet’s biggest and highest-resolution LED screen. The Sphere’s reputation for producing mind-bending visuals—showcased by regular showings of director Darren Aronofsky’s Postcard From Earth—has been elevated even further with an eight-show New Year’s residency by EDM deejay/producer Anyma, the first non-rock act to perform at Sin City’s futuristic globe.

Anyma, who has collaborated with his girlfriend Grimes on hits like “Welcome to the Opera” and “Taratata,” brought out FKA Twigs onstage for his recent remix of “Eusexua,” so she could sing in front of a giant image of her dancing on the LED screen behind her.

Singer Ellie Goulding received a similarly larger-than-life treatment when she joined Anyma onstage the next night to sing their upcoming collaboration “Hypnotized.”

Grimes hasn’t been shy about promoting her boyfriend’s Sphere shows on X, the platform famously owned by her ex, Elon Musk. She also joined him onstage for “Taratata.”

Anyma’s “The End of Genesys” residency heavily mines his 2023 debut album Genesys, where “big, buoyant synth lines and propulsive, arms-in-the-air rhythms contrast with mildly dystopian themes examining the man/machine divide,” according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, which was dazzled by the Sphere show anchored by trippy visuals of a giant female humanoid named Eva.

The newspaper described Eva as “a synthetic entity in pursuit of human connection, her quest to transcend her artificial origins chronicled in a series of of stunning clips presented throughout the night that have to be seen to be believed—and even then, you may find yourself rubbing your pupils just to make sure you’re not caught in some futuristic fever dream.” Videos of Anyma’s Sphere shows have been unsurprisingly flooding X—check out five clips below.
