Show creator Steven Knight has returned to write the screenplay, with Stephen Graham, Ned Dennehy, Sophie Rundle, Ian Peck and Packy Lee also back to star. Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth and Jay Lycurgo join the ensemble.
Murphy recently opened up about his reasons for returning to the franchise, telling The Observer: "We got a really good script, and I have a sense of duty to the fans because, in many ways, they made the show the success that it is. It’s a proper bookend to the whole 36 hours of television."
Following the movie, Peaky Blinders fans will be in for more of a treat, as two new series are on the way from the BBC that will follow a new generation of Shelbys.
"In a new era of Steven Knight's Peaky Blinders, the race to own Birmingham's massive reconstruction project becomes a brutal contest of mythical dimensions," the synopsis teases. "This is a city of unprecedented opportunity and danger: with the Shelby family right at its blood-soaked heart."
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man will be released in select cinemas on 6 March before streaming on Netflix from 20 March.
