Peaky Blinders dominates on Rotten Tomatoes after its movie arrives on Netflix

The wait of almost four years came to an end on March 20, 2026, with the premiere of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. The film, which has already reached number one on Netflix in 82 countries, marks the return of Cillian Murphy in his iconic role as Tommy Shelby. This production, set during World War II, presents a Shelby removed from action and dedicated to writing a book, until his son Duke drags him back into criminal intrigue by facing an imminent catastrophe.

It has survived the premiere to the general public

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man was written by Steven Knight, the creator of the original series that captivated audiences from 2013 to 2022. The film is shaping up to be a necessary bridge before the new series in the Peaky Blinders universe begins, which has already been confirmed by the producers. This feature film has assembled a luxury cast, including Barry Keoghan, Rebecca Ferguson, and Tim Roth, who join Murphy in what promises to be an epic return of this renowned franchise.

The first reviews are mostly favorable, with a rating of 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, just two points lower than the original series. However, some critics have pointed out that the film tries to compress what could have been a season into a single movie, which could affect its narrative development and the emotional impact it manages to convey. This perception suggests that, although well received, it may not reach the depth that fans of the series expected.

With high expectations, everything indicates that Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man will be one of the most-watched movies on Netflix in 2026. However, the precise viewing data will be known next Tuesday, the day the platform will reveal the figures corresponding to the week following the premiere.
