"Season 6 gave the character the closest thing to a happy ending he could have possibly deserved: though he believed he was dying of a brain tumor, that was just a ruse created by a sadistic political rival. Tommy's family is in shambles by the end, with his wife Lizzie (Natasha O'Keeffe) striking off on her own and his illegitimate son Duke (Conrad Khan) joining the title Birmingham mob, but Tommy is at least free."
"The film jumps forward to the early days of Nazi Germany's invasions, and while conflict rages across Europe, Tommy finds himself pulled back into a familiar battle of his own. His retirement turns out to be short-lived: with Duke (now played by Barry Keoghan) bringing a newfound brutality to the Blinders, Tommy is forced to rein him in, but he'll have to reconnect with his jaded son before he can sever him from the Nazi plot he's gotten embroiled in."
"After torching his estate and literally riding off into the sunset, the possibilities for the character are endless. That said, a sequel that follows Tommy on the straight and narrow path probably isn't what fans want. Creator Steven Knight previously admitted that his plans for Tommy's story changed dramatically when Netflix greenlit a film; he now calls Season 6 " the end of the beginning," but it's not clear what that makes Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the series' big-screen follow-up."
Tommy Shelby survives Season 6's fake tumor ruse and leaves his estate burned, departing with fractured family ties. The Immortal Man advances the timeline to the early Nazi invasions and draws Tommy back from retirement when his illegitimate son Duke becomes more brutal and entangled with a Nazi plot within the Birmingham mob. Tommy must reconnect with and rein in his jaded son to sever that Nazi connection, forcing a return to the violent life he had left and setting up a confrontation with his legacy and family.
