Whether he’s leading a nuclear revolution, masking up as a Batman villain, or ruling the streets of Birmingham, Cillian Murphy’s presence is always a masterclass in acting. But ever since he mounted the horse in Steven Knight’s sequel film, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man on Netflix, the urge for more of his Irish brilliance has grown twice as much.
Lucky for us, the Oscar-winner has been commanding Tinseltown’s Hall of Fame for almost three decades, which means, if you’re on Netflix, searching frantically for “all things Cillian Murphy,” you’re unknowingly signing up for a marathon.
While it should be welcome news, considering you’re still here, you’re always free to pick and choose.
So, for all fans out there who are scratching their heads and feeling lost in the algorithm, here is a list of every Cillian Murphy movie and series currently streaming on Netflix.
Every Cillian Murphy movie and series you can watch on Netflix
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (Tom Harper, 2026)
It only feels natural to start with what’s new on Netflix, and what’s a better start than Cillian Murphy reprising his role as Thomas Shelby for Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man? Four years after bidding goodbye to the Birmingham mobsters, Tommy is finally back to confront his most destructive reckoning yet. Set in 1940 Birmingham amidst WWII, Tommy rises from the ashes for the sake of his country and, most importantly, family.
While it’s for you to find out what triggers him out of his self-imposed exile, once you hit the play button, it will also be clear what he finally chooses. With the country at war, inevitably so will be the Peaky Blinders in The Immortal Man. And to make things more chaotic, we have a new Shelby leading a fresh generation of Peakys.
Steve (Tim Mielants, 2025)
Based on Max Porter’s bestselling novel, Shy, Steve stars Cillian Murphy as Steve, a head teacher navigating the impending discontinuation of the reform school where he teaches. Set in the mid-‘90s, the Netflix movie follows a crucial day in Steve as well as his students’ lives at a last-chance reform school, for which he would do just about anything to save it from closure.
Although determined to fight for the school, Steve also has to confront his own mental health. As he grapples with his struggles, the Netflix movie pans the camera at Shy, a troubled teen, haunted by the ghosts of his past, unprepared for what lies ahead. While he’s constantly in a tussle with himself about reconciling his inner vulnerability and his impulse for self-destruction, what Steve highlights is the high-stakes emotional labour that comes with backing at-risk youth.
Free Fire (Ben Wheatley, 2016)
Free Fire is not exactly a recent Cillian Murphy starrer, but it is surely one that deserves a pitstop in this Netflix marathon. The action-comedy tells the story of a weapons deal gone wrong in a Boston warehouse, where tensions between two criminal gangs escalate into a chaotic, fearsome, and darkly humorous shootout, where each and everyone struggle to survive and not get their heads blown off.
The arms deal is led by Murphy and Sharlto Copley’s characters, and the fallout is primarily a result of personal vendettas and hidden motives. While Free Fire is undoubtedly in the DNA of a thriller, it is the slapstick comedy in its veins that hits harder than anything else. So, before you reach the final stop, take it as a palate cleanser.
Peaky Blinders (Otto Bathurst, Tom Harper, Colm McCarthy, Tim Mielants, David Caffrey, and Anthony Byrne, 2013-2022)
It only makes sense to mount off the horse right where we began, which is with Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby. So, for the final stop, it is Steven Knight’s critically acclaimed historical crime drama, Peaky Blinders. The gripping gangland drama follows the Shelby family in post-World War I Birmingham, England, as they rise through the ranks from a local street gang to a powerful criminal empire.
Peaky Blinders captures the interwar years, starting in 1919, and follows their evolution as they constantly clash with various antagonists. While the show blends real historical events with fictional storylines incorporating real-life figures at times, the series is additionally marked by its one-of-a-kind cinematic style, iconic score, and tense atmosphere, making it one of the most fan-favourite cult dramas ever made.
