Major spoilers for "Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man" are ahead! Read with caution, and stream both the original series and this movie with a Netflix subscription.

The premiere of "Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man" on Netflix’s 2026 schedule marked the end of an era for Cillian Murphy’s iconic character, Tommy Shelby. After six seasons of fighting, his story came to a close at the hands of his son, Duke (Barry Keoghan), and Tim Roth’s villain Beckett. So, CinemaBlend asked Roth about filming this final moment, and he told me why it left him thinking, “People are gonna fucking hate me.”
Transcript
00:00The way Beckett plays into this death is so dramatic
00:04and such a cool way for it to happen.
00:06I was curious what it was like to film that
00:07and what it kind of meant to you
00:09to have Beckett be such a big part of this.
00:11I just thought people are going to hate me.
00:16Because I put him on the ground
00:18and then put him in the hands of...
00:20I think at one point it was, yeah.
00:25But it's that thing,
00:27because there's so much love for this
00:29for the show, for the characters and so on.
00:32I thought, oh my God.
00:33But also that makes me kind of laugh too.
00:37But no, it was...
00:41The father-son thing is kind of interesting
00:43and it's come up again.
00:45It's interesting how Barry talks about it, for example,
00:47and how Killian talks about it
00:48because they actually are coming from
00:50very different perspectives.
00:51And then when you were talking about your mum
00:52and all of that.
00:56And I suppose there are moments
01:00that come up in the film
01:01where I present a parental element
01:10to Duke and to the audience too.
01:14And I found that to be intriguing
01:16and kind of interesting in itself.
01:18And you didn't overwrite it,
01:20didn't overplay it.
01:21It just was dropped in, dropped in, done.
