Rebecca Ferguson is quickly establishing herself as a leading force in 2026, achieving a rare feat in the entertainment industry. Despite a mixed critical reception for some projects, the actress currently boasts two number-one streaming hits.
Early 2026 Projects
Ferguson began the year starring alongside Chris Pratt in the Amazon MGM sci-fi thriller, Mercy. While the film didn’t resonate with critics or at the box office, it has found success on Prime Video. She quickly followed this with a role in The Immortal Man, a sequel to the popular series Peaky Blinders, co-starring Cillian Murphy and Barry Keoghan.
'The Magic Faraway Tree' Success
Adding to her impressive run, Ferguson appeared in The Magic Faraway Tree, which has garnered a perfect 100% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. This marks her first critically acclaimed film of the year.
Upcoming Roles and Continued Success
Ferguson’s commitments don’t end there. She is set to reprise her role as Juliette Nichols in the third season of Silo, expected to premiere this summer. She will also make a final appearance as Lady Jessica in Dune: Part Three, though her role will be limited to a single scene.
Streaming Chart Dominance
Currently, both Mercy and The Immortal Man are performing exceptionally well, holding the top spots on Prime Video and Netflix, respectively. This accomplishment makes Ferguson the first actor of 2026 to simultaneously have two projects at number one on different streaming platforms.
Potential 'Peaky Blinders' Return
When asked about a potential return to the Peaky Blinders franchise, Ferguson expressed openness to the possibility. While no concrete plans are in place, she remains receptive to future opportunities within the universe, particularly given her established connection with the character Duke Shelby. A Peaky Blinders sequel series is already in production.
Fans can currently stream Mercy on Prime Video and The Immortal Man on Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for further updates on Rebecca Ferguson’s projects.
