‘Peaky Blinders’ Actress Confirms She Won’t Be Back in ‘The Immortal Man’

The upcoming Peaky Blinders movie, The Immortal Man, has generated a lot of excitement with its star-studded cast. Cillian Murphy will return as Tommy Shelby, joined by Rebecca Ferguson, Barry Keoghan, Stephen Graham, Tim Roth, Jay Lycurgo, Ned Dennehy, and Sophie Rundle.

However, fans were disappointed to hear that Kate Phillips, who played Linda Shelby, won’t be in the movie. She confirmed this herself in an interview.

When asked about her possible return, Phillips said, ‘I’m not. There were discussions and then it didn’t pan out.’ She also shared her thoughts on the show, saying, ‘It was such an amazing show to be part of and Steven Knight still continues to have ideas for the life and the future of Peaky Blinders, and that’s always lovely to kind of engage with his hopes and dreams for the show.’

Despite not being part of the film, she is still excited to see how it turns out, adding, ‘I’m excited to see the film. I have read it, but I’m excited to see how it turns out on the big screen, I’m sure it will be amazing.’

Although it’s sad that Linda won’t be making an appearance, the Peaky Blinders universe will continue. Steven Knight, the creator of the show, hinted that The Immortal Man won’t be the end of the story.

In a February 18 interview with BBC Breakfast, he said the film is ‘a very fitting way to end this part of the ‘Peaky’ story,’ but quickly added, ‘This part, yes.’ He also mentioned, ‘I’m not allowed to announce it, but I’m just saying that the world of ‘Peaky’ will continue.’

So while we won’t see Linda again, the Peaky Blinders world is far from over. Stay tuned for more updates.
