Excitement has followed Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man like a well-dressed shadow with a loaded agenda.

While familiar faces like Cillian Murphy return to the Peaky Blinders world, a few fan favorites sit this chapter out.
The faces missing from the cast
One absence weighs heavier than all others. Paul Anderson will not return as Arthur Shelby, removing Tommy Shelby’s most volatile counterpart from the film. Production reports cite Anderson prioritizing health and personal recovery, making his absence both narrative and emotional.
Political menace also steps aside. Sam Claflin confirmed Oswald Mosley does not appear, despite the fascist leader remaining alive within the timeline. This World War II chapter simply moves in a different direction, narrowing its focus to internal reckoning rather than ideological sparring.

The Shelby family's losses deepen. Finn Cole remains absent following Michael Gray’s definitive death, while Kate Phillips does not return as Linda Shelby after early discussions stalled. Meanwhile, Cillian Murphy reassured audiences with a quiet promise about the film’s purpose, one best left unrepeated.
Legacy also dictates absence. Polly Gray does not appear following Helen McCrory’s passing, with the film expected to honor her influence. Likewise, Jeremiah Jesus is missing after the death of Benjamin Zephaniah, marking the end of two defining presences.
