“I really loved the way that Steve worked it out and navigated it,” Cillian continued, “and that it was very fitting that it should be a father and son story at the end, because the whole show was predicated on family.”

Indeed, in classic Peaky Blinders form, family is at the forefront in The Immortal Man. With just Ada Shelby Thorne (Sophie Rundle) left of the original five siblings left in Birmingham—John Shelby (Joe Cole) was killed in season four, while the movie confirms Finn Shelby (Harry Kirton) is still excommunicated from the family and Arthur Shelby (Paul Anderson) has died—the family’s status has fallen.

Meanwhile, Tommy’s estranged son Duke and the new crop of Peaky Blinders are wreaking havoc on their Small Heath neighborhood—and he’s being courted by Beckett to decimate the British economy and force their exit from the war.

However, as Tommy re-enters the fray—at Ada’s plea—he does so too late: Duke defies orders from Beckett demanding he kill his politician aunt, and the Nazi sympathizer ultimately pulls the trigger as Duke tries to warn her. Thus, father and son are reunited and their plans to take Beckett down take shape.
