Set in 1940 amid the blitz of World War II, the film pulls Tommy from self-imposed exile back to a bombed-out Birmingham for his “most destructive reckoning yet.” The official synopsis teases high stakes: “With the future of the family and the country at stake, Tommy must face his own demons and choose whether to confront his legacy or burn it to the ground.” Creator Steven Knight promises “no holds barred – full-on Peaky Blinders at war.”

The teaser opens with a haunting voiceover: “Whatever happened to Tommy Shelby?” Murphy’s Shelby responds gravely, “I’m not that man anymore,” before explosive visuals of wartime chaos, guns, and returning allies pull him back in. Fans flooded social media with excitement, praising the moody atmosphere and Murphy’s commanding presence.

Filming wrapped in December 2025 at Digbeth Loc Studios in Birmingham and other Midlands locations, capturing authentic WWII-era grit. Murphy called the return “gratifying,” saying, “This is one for the fans.”
