Peaky Blinders Brought Tommy Shelby Out of Retirement

The most delicious gift is a mystery being solved, and now we are one inch closer to finding out what happened to Tommy Shelby. Besides winning an Oscar. He’s had a busy break, ya know! Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the upcoming Netflix movie bringing Cillian Murphy back across the pond, is giving us a holiday treat: a teaser for Tommy’s big comeback. In the trailer below, Shelby’s leaving what seems to be an abandoned building with a graveyard, where he exiled himself, and heading back into civilization. “Whatever happened to Tommy Shelby, the famous gyspy gangster?” a narrator asks, before the trailer cuts to car crashes, shootouts, and underground Nazis. “I’m not that man anymore,” Shelby answers. Unfortunately, there’s only one man in a newsboy cap who can bring peace to Birmingham, and that’s Tommy.

Shelby returns to Birmingham in the middle of World War II in 1940 at the order of the Peaky Blinders. “The country is at war, and so, of course, are our Peaky Blinders,” series creator Steven Knight told Netflix. “It will be an explosive chapter in the Peaky Blinders story. No holds barred. Full-on Peaky Blinders at war.” The Immortal Man heads to select cinemas on March 6, with a streaming release on Netflix on March 20.
