With the acclaimed series wrapped, attention turns to The Immortal Man, the Peaky Blinders movie which will bring audiences back to the world of Tommy Shelby and the Peaky Blinders boys. Ever since the sixth and final season of Peaky Blinders, fans have been clamoring for the long-teased Peaky Blinders movie, which would presumably wrap up the story. While details are still rather scant, what is known about the Peaky Blinders movie is enough to promise an exciting conclusion.

The show certainly finished feeling like it had more to tell, and capping off Peaky Blinders with a movie rather than 7th season is an intriguing yet understandable way forward. Peaky Blinders season 6 ended with Tommy left with a choice between seeking revenge against his enemies or continuing with a life in which the world thinks he is dead. While the ambiguity of the conclusion works well, it seems as though the movie would give a definitive answer to that question.

The Immortal Man: The Peaky Blinders Movie Story Details

How Will The Movie Conclude The Story?

Something that Knight has revealed (via Radio Times) about the Peaky Blinders movie is that the story is "about a sort of untold story that happened in the Second World War, which Peakys are going to be involved in." It was always maintained that the beginning of World War II would mark a natural end for the series, so it will be fascinating to see what creative spark led to Knight wanting to explore beyond that.

In of the complex protagonist, Knight has always envisioned an ending for Tommy where he is redeemed and no longer the big bad (via Season 6 of Peaky Blinders touched on Tommy's redemption as well as his guilt for "crossing the line" in killing Michael. While this was said outside the context of the Peaky Blinders movie, it seems inevitable that this road of redemption will continue for Tommy.
