Duke Shelby Rising: Tommy’s Death Signals a New Peaky Blinders Era
Steven Knight explains that Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man ends Tommy Shelby’s reign with his death and passes leadership to Duke Shelby (Barry Keoghan); a Duke-centered future is teased via a spin-off, with Cillian Murphy returning for a final appearance. The film format was chosen after pandemic delays and Helen McRory’s passing, and production features on-location shoots and intense mud-and-pig-fest fight scenes.
