Cillian Murphy is riding a remarkable wave of momentum that shows no signs of slowing down. With his latest film STEVE arriving on Netflix on October 3, Murphy has been making the rounds to promote the project, but it’s what he revealed about his next venture that has fans of a certain Birmingham gangster absolutely buzzing with anticipation.
During a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Murphy confirmed that THE IMMORTAL MAN, the highly anticipated Peaky Blinders spin-off film, has wrapped production and will hit screens in 2026. When Norton pressed him about exactly when the movie would be “in the world,” Murphy kept it simple but definitive: next year. The news marks a triumphant return for Murphy to the role that defined a generation of television, Tommy Shelby, the razor-blade-capped crime boss whose signature undercut haircut became a cultural phenomenon.
Murphy didn’t hold back his feelings about that particular style choice, calling it “so disgusting, really,” and explaining that the harsh shave was historically rooted in practicality rather than fashion—specifically, it was done to prevent lice infestations among working-class men of the era. Despite Murphy’s distaste, the look became one of the most copied hairstyles of the 2010s, cementing the show’s influence beyond the screen.
THE IMMORTAL MAN reunites Murphy with Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, who penned the screenplay, and assembles an impressive ensemble cast including Barry Keoghan, Stephen Graham, and Sophie Rundle. This film represents a crucial chapter in Murphy’s recent career trajectory, coming on the heels of his Oscar-winning performance in OPPENHEIMER and positioning him as one of the most compelling actors working today. The transition from prestige streaming drama to feature film demonstrates not only the enduring power of the Peaky Blinders franchise but also Murphy’s ability to command both intimate character studies and sprawling ensemble pieces with equal magnetism.
