Peaky Blinders has been one of the highest-rated and most-watched TV series of all time. Boasting an impressive ensemble cast led by Academy Award-winning actor Cillian Murphy as the iconic Thomas Shelby, the period crime drama has accumulated a massive fanbase over the years.

After airing its sixth and final season in 2022, fans have been eagerly hoping for more. Luckily for them, a film set in the same universe titled The Immortal Man was announced not too long ago, the filming of which began in 2024. Since then, fans have been waiting for exciting updates, and finally, the leading man himself just delivered some!
