Barry Keoghan confirms his “iconic” role in Netflix’s Peaky Blinders movie

by

Barry Keoghan has shared details about his part in the upcoming Peaky Blinders movie, The Immortal Man. The film, starring Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby, will be in theaters on March 6, 2026, and will be available to stream on Netflix two weeks later.

Although it was revealed last year that Barry Keoghan would be in the film, details about his character have been scarce. While some speculated he might play Tommy Shelby’s son, recent information suggests we now have a better, though still incomplete, understanding of his role.

According to Empire Magazine, Barry Keoghan’s character will be a key figure in the next generation of the Peaky Blinders, set in 1940s Birmingham. They shared a photo of Keoghan leading a group of men all wearing flat caps to illustrate this.

In a recent interview, Keoghan discussed taking on a leading role in the next season of Peaky Blinders. He admitted he feels awkward using the show’s famous line, ‘By order of the Peaky Blinders…’

Keoghan admitted he feels a little strange saying the famous line from the BBC crime drama, noting it’s become so iconic that he almost feels he shouldn’t be allowed to repeat it.

Keoghan shared that he’d long wanted to be part of the show, but the opportunity never quite came along until now. He explained that the right moment and the right character hadn’t aligned previously.

He explained that he’d always hoped to join, but things never quite lined up – either his availability didn’t match, or he wasn’t the right fit for what they needed.

Keoghan remembers when Murphy called and offered him a role in The Immortal Man. He immediately said yes, replying, “Of course, bro, anytime!” He was thrilled at the chance to work with Murphy again.

Rebecca Ferguson, the famous actress, will be joining the cast as Kaulo, a character connected to Tommy. This confirms recent reports about her involvement in the project.

In an interview with Empire Magazine, Ferguson remembered telling Murphy, “Look, I just can’t do a Birmingham accent, so we need to figure something else out.”

The new Peaky Blinders film, titled ‘The Immortal Man,’ will first appear in cinemas on March 6, 2026, and will then be available to stream on Netflix starting March 20th.
