Rebecca Ferguson Officially Becomes First Star of 2026 With Two #1 Streaming Hits

Plenty of movie stars have plans to feature in multiple projects this year, but few actors are as busy as Rebecca Ferguson. She began 2026 by starring opposite Chris Pratt in the Amazon MGM-backed sci-fi thriller, Mercy. The film was met with a poor critical reception, and it also underwhelmed at the box office. She’s already followed this with a role in The Immortal Man, the Peaky Blinders sequel movie co-starring Cillian Murphy and Barry Keoghan. The film will act as a connecting point between the original Peaky Blinders series and the sequel series, which is now in production. Ferguson can also be seen in international theaters starring opposite Andrew Garfield in The Magic Faraway Tree, which is officially her first perfect movie of the year — it debuted to a flawless 100% from critics on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes.

Ferguson isn’t anywhere near done after The Magic Faraway Tree leaves theaters, though. She’ll also make her long-awaited return as Juliette Nichols in the third season of Silo, which she’s confirmed will premiere sometime this summer. She’ll close out the year by reprising her role as Lady Jessica one final time in Dune: Part Three, though she’s revealed she’ll have only one scene in the film. Still, Ferguson couldn’t have asked for a better start to the year. Both Mercy and The Immortal Man, her first two projects of 2026, are sitting comfortably at the top of streaming charts on Prime Video and Netflix, respectively. This makes her the first star of 2026 to have two hits charting in the #1 spot on different streamers at the same time — the year of Rebecca Ferguson is officially upon us.

Rebecca Ferguson Could Yet Return to ‘Peaky Blinders’

Around the same time Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man came out, Rebecca Ferguson was asked if she could see herself returning to the franchise in the future. She admitted that she hasn’t heard any concrete plans for a return, but that she’s absolutely open to it. Regardless, a Peaky Blinders sequel series has been confirmed and is already filming. Ferguson is one of the biggest talents in Hollywood, and if she’s willing, Steven Knight will likely have no trouble finding something for her to do in the new Peaky Blinders sequel series, especially considering she has an established connection with Duke Shelby.

Check out Mercy on Prime Video and The Immortal Man on Netflix, and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates and coverage of Ferguson’s future projects.
