The upcoming Peaky Blinders film now has an official title and a release date.

This next installment in the franchise is called Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. It will arrive in select cinemas for a theatrical release on March 6, 2026, before streaming on Netflix on March 20.

Cillian Murphy reprises his role as Tommy Shelby in the upcoming film, which also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Sophie Rundle, Barry Keoghan, Stephen Graham and Jay Lycurgo.

“It seems like Tommy Shelby wasn’t finished with me,” Murphy said to Netflix’s Tudum. “It is very gratifying to be re-collaborating with Steven Knight and Tom Harper on the film version of Peaky Blinders. This is one for the fans.”

Other Peaky Blinders alum coming along for the new movie are Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee and Ian Peck.

The upcoming film takes place in Birmingham in 1940.

“Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet. 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,” according to its official logline.

Harper directs the film from a script by Knight. Knight created and wrote the original series.

Netflix has announced that it has entered a “definitive agreement” to acquire Warner Bros. — including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO — in a deal valued at approximately $83 billion, according to the company.

“This acquisition brings together two pioneering entertainment businesses, combining Netflix’s innovation, global reach and best-in-class streaming service with Warner Bros.’ century-long legacy of world-class storytelling,” Netflix said in the statement released Friday morning.

“Beloved franchises, shows and movies such as The Big Bang Theory, The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, The Wizard of Oz and the DC Universe will join Netflix’s extensive portfolio including Wednesday, Money Heist, Bridgerton, Adolescence and Extraction, creating an extraordinary entertainment offering for audiences worldwide,” the company continued.

The transaction is expected to close after the previously announced separation of WBD’s Global Networks division, Discovery Global, into a new publicly-traded company, which is now expected to be completed in Q3 2026, Netflix said.

“Our mission has always been to entertain the world,” said Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix. “By combining Warner Bros.’ incredible library of shows and movies—from timeless classics like Casablanca and Citizen Kane to modern favorites like Harry Potter and Friends—with our culture-defining titles like Stranger Things, KPop Demon Hunters and Squid Game, we’ll be able to do that even better. Together, we can give audiences more of what they love and help define the next century of storytelling.”

The cash and stock transaction has a total enterprise value of approximately $82.7 billion and an equity value of $72 billion, Netflix said.

Mr. Diabaté returns in this week’s episode of Pluribus.

The character, played by Samba Schutte and first introduced in episode two, is one of 12 humans who are immune to an alien virus that connects everyone in the world to an exceedingly cheerful hive mind. In episode six, out Friday, Rhea Seehorn’s Carol Sturka makes a disturbing discovery and travels to Las Vegas to find Diabaté.

Schutte promises we’ll see a “whole new side” to his character, who we first saw making a flamboyant entrance on Air Force One surrounded by models.

“With episode two, people felt, oh, what a hedonist and what a, you know, abuser or whatever it is,” he tells ABC Audio. “And I think with episode six, you kind of see a gentle side to him, a side where he actually cares for Carol, clocks her loneliness and wants her to understand what’s going on. … And he’s becoming a kind of ally to her.”

That’s not to say Diabaté agrees with Carol’s outlook on the world’s situation — she wants to reverse the virus and he doesn’t — but Schutte calls him “the ultimate diplomat.”

“He’s a very rational character,” he says. “If you notice, like he’s always coming up with rational counterarguments to Carol’s point of view, which drives her nuts.”

One thing’s for sure, Diabaté isn’t purposely malicious — even though some fans of Pluribus creator Vince Gilligan’s other show, Breaking Bad, were quick to speculate otherwise. 

“I think as soon as episode two aired, everyone was like, ‘This guy is gonna be the new Gus Fring. Mr. Koumba Diabaté is the new villain of the show,’” Schutte says. “And I’m like, ‘Really? I thought he was such a sweet guy!’” 

New episodes of Pluribus drop Fridays on Apple TV.

We’ll always have summer, but we won’t have The Summer I Turned Pretty film anytime soon.

Jenny Han shared an update on the upcoming film that will continue the story of the popular romance series, which ended its three-season run in September. The author and series showrunner revealed during The Wrap’s 2025 Power Women Summit that she recently finished writing the film’s screenplay.

“[I] just wrote it,” Han said. “We have not filmed anything yet.”

Certain fans of the show theorized that the film would premiere before the end of 2025, but Han has cleared up those rumors.

“I know that everyone was hoping that it was coming out this Christmas,” she said, “but unfortunately, not happening, not possible.”

Han then reminded the audience that post production on The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3 ended one month before it debuted on Prime Video, noting there wasn’t time to film a movie.

“The show came out in July,” Han said. “So it was really up to the last minute on the show, so that we wouldn’t have had time to film the whole movie.”

Han is set to direct the upcoming film, which she co-wrote with Sarah Kucserka. While story details are being kept under wraps, Han did give a tease of what the plot may include in a statement shared the day of the film’s announcement.

“There is another big milestone left in Belly’s journey, and I thought only a movie could give it its proper due,” Han said. “I’m so grateful to Prime Video for continuing to support my vision for this story and for making it possible to share this final chapter with the fans.”

The time will soon come for Cassandra Freeman, Coco Jones and Akira Akbar to say goodbye to Bel-Air. With their characters Aunt Viv, Hilary and Ashley representing different phases of a woman’s life, they hope each of their storylines can be helpful to women in some way.

Cassandra says she hopes women continue to “feel more beautiful” while realizing that “the more you express what’s going on the inside … the healthier you are physically and mentally.”

Akira wants teenage girls to learn from Ashley “to understand that it’s OK to go through things … and not fully understand who you are because you’re still growing and learning, and eventually you’ll figure things out.”

As for Coco, she hopes the takeaway from Hilary’s storyline is “that social media is edited, and it’s not the realest truth.” She also wants viewers to learn “to not compare your life to what you think somebody else has, because no amount of money, no man, no opportunity is going to stop you from the plights that must occur, and finding yourself is what everyone is trying to do.” 

The ladies also shared what they’ll miss about Bel-Air, with Akira mentioning the cast and the “energy they bring to set every day.” “We’re all like one big family,” she says. “So when we’re on set … it doesn’t feel like we’re working. It feels like we are just at home.” 

Coco talked about the stability of the show, something she doesn’t experience in the music industry, calling Bel-Air “the most normal” job she’s ever had. 

And Cassandra said she’ll miss chatting with Bel-Air showrunner Carla Bank Waddles ahead of each season.

“I think the reason why the show was so impactful to people is that the writers were interested in what was going on in our own chat threads,” she said. 

The last episodes of Bel-Air‘s fourth and final season premiere Monday.
