As Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man arrives on Netflix on Friday 20 March 2026, Michael Hodges speaks with the franchise's creator, Steven Knight, about this explosive outing for Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy)...
It’s Cillian Murphy having an existential crisis, so there’s plenty to look at. Though you can feel it, that voice saying, “Come on, get out there, put the guns back on!”
The film is based on the events of Operation Bernhard, when the Nazi government printed millions of pounds worth of fake currency. At the end of the Second World War, the Bank of England changed the design of the £5 note because they believed a lot of that fake currency had entered Britain.
It’s deliberate. It’s always unfortunate when one’s work becomes topical because you don’t want it to be. A lot of stuff I’ve written about has then come along — that’s why I’m never going to write about the Third World War, because I think it will happen.
Many people might not be aware how badly Birmingham was blitzed until they see the film?
The British seem bad at remembering just how good they can be?
I couldn’t agree more. That’s the sort of patriotism I think is really important, knowing what we did well, knowing where we stood, knowing where we still stand, maybe on our own, but we’ve got to be prepared for that. And wondering if we would we be as good as our parents and grandparents were.
