Rebecca Ferguson brought the glamour to the Birmingham’s Symphony Hall on Monday night as she joined co-stars Cillian Murphy and Tim Roth at the premiere of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.
The actress, 42, joined the star-studded cast ahead of the exciting release of the film, which will air on Netflix on March 20.
Rebecca looked incredible in a crinkly gold floor-length gown which had a lace hemline and styled her blonde hair in a side plait.
The Silo star will take on the role of a mysterious new character named Kaulo, who is described as a powerful medium and a potential romantic interest for Thomas Shelby.
Leading man Cillian Murphy, 49, who plays crime boss Tommy Shelby, showed off his style in a brown satin shirt, high-waisted trousers and a long coat.
New cast-member Tim Roth was also present on the night, with the celebrated actor also starring in the feature length drama as Beckett
But many of the cast, including Sophie Rundle, who plays Tommy’s sister Ada, Stephen Graham and Barry Keoghan were notably absent for the premiere.
The hit show formerly ran across 36 episodes over six series before it was announced it would return in movie format, with a spin-off series also in the works.
Ian Peck, who plays Curly in the hit show, hit the red carpet alongside Tim Roth, who has joined the cast for the film as Beckett, a British Fascist sympathiser.
Birmingham-born footballer Karen Carney and her Strictly partner Carlos Gu were also in attendance.
It’s been a long wait for fans of the franchise, with creator Steven Knight first teasing the release of a film back in 2021, before it was confirmed last year.
While it will be made available to view in select cinemas from March 6, 2026, the wider public will be able to stream on Netflix from March 20 – and have been waiting to find out more details of what’s in store for their beloved Thomas Shelby.
The film will pick up four years after viewers last said goodbye to the Shelby clan in the series finale of Peaky Blinders.
Tommy, who has been played by Cillian since the show’s debut in 2013, will be driven back to Birmingham from his self-imposed exile in the movie.
The freshly dropped trailer sees the character living far away from home, living alone, when his past finally begins to catch up with him during World War II.
‘You’ll live in a house haunted with ghosts, of people who died because of you,’ a voiceover begins as Tommy is shown back on screen for the first time.
He’s then shown stood opposite new character, Rebecca’s character Kaulo, a new acquaintance to Cillian’s Tommy, as she tells him: ‘You abandoned your kingdom, and you abandoned your son.’
Sophie, who plays Tommy’s sister Ada in the drama, is then seen telling the gangster: ‘Your gypsy son is running Peaky Blinders like it’s 1919 all over again.’
The Peaky Blinders group are then shown fighting off locals, before the camera draws close on Barry Keoghan, standing over a man with his cane holding him down – appearing to be Tommy’s illegitimate son, Erasmus ‘Duke’ Shelby.
‘I can’t help him, because I’m not that man anymore,’ Tommy tells Ada, as Barry’s character is seen being asked if he is prepared to commit ‘treason’, to win the war in Germany’s favour.
‘The world don’t give a f**k about me, and I don’t give a f**k about the world,’ the young Peaky Blinders gangster can then be heard saying.
When Stephen Graham’s Hayden Stagg tells Tommy that he thought ‘he’d decided it wasn’t his war’ to fight, Tommy menacingly replies: ‘It is now.’
Tommy is then seen back in his old haunt, met by unfamiliar faces who don’t know who he is, and asking for details on why he’s back.
Luckily for Tommy, Jordan Bolgar’s Isaiah Jesus, a young member of the Birmingham gang and the son of preacher Jeremiah Jesus, Tommy’s loyal lieutenant, is there to remind everyone.
A series of powerful explosions then follow, teasing the dramatic scenes to come, before Tommy concludes: ‘Once, I nearly got f**king everything… but nearly doesn’t count.’
The trailer ends with Tommy and Barry’s character taking a shot at the bar together as they look to be working together.
The synopsis teases the character will face his ‘most destructive reckoning yet’, adding: ‘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.
‘By order of the Peaky Blinders.’
The Immortal Man airs on Netflix on March 20 and will be available in cinemas on March 6
