Peaky Blinders Movie: Tommy Shelby’s Rebirth Changes Everything

The Peaky Blinders movie picks up exactly where season 6 left off, and that finale may have secretly set up Tommy Shelby’s biggest transformation yet.

When the series ended, Tommy believed he was dying from a brain tumor, only to discover it was a fascist conspiracy designed to push him toward suicide. Instead of pulling the trigger, he chose something far more radical: survival. The burning caravan, the white horse, and the Armistice Day symbolism weren’t just poetic visuals — they were a rebirth.

With Cillian Murphy returning and creator Steven Knight writing the script, The Immortal Man promises a direct continuation of Tommy’s story. And this time, the stakes may expand beyond Birmingham to the brink of World War II. From Oswald Mosley’s lingering threat to the psychological scars Tommy can’t outrun, the Peaky Blinders film could finally complete his redemption arc.

We break down what the Peaky Blinders movie is really about, how season 6’s ending set up the film, and why Tommy Shelby’s survival changes everything moving forward.
