The film, which is a reimagining of the bestselling book by Max Porter, Shy, follows headteacher Steve and his students at a last-chance reform school 'amidst a world that has forsaken them' as he fights to keep the doors open while facing his own struggles.
The movie will release in select cinemas and on the streaming service on October 3.
Young actor Jay Lycurgo plays Shy, a troubled teen 'caught between his past and what lies ahead' while stars like Tracey Ullman, Top Boy star Simbi Ajikawo and Small Things Like These actor Emily Watson join Murphy on screen.
The Netflix film is being directed by Tim Mielants, while author Max Porter has also written and executive produced the project.
Murphy is also among the producers billed on the film alongside Alan Moloney and Tina Pawlik, while the music is written by Ben Salisbury and Geoff Barrow.
The Cork-born actor is also set to return for the Netflix film Peaky Blinders, the series he starred in as Tommy Shelby.
An auction of original costumes from BBC TV series Peaky Blinders, including a suit worn by actor Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby in the show's final scenes, has raised £19,000 (over €22,200) for charity.
The 48-year-old Cork actor wore the period-style grey three-piece suit in the final episode of the sixth series.
The highest price of £3,000 (€3,500) was fetched by a three-piece woollen suit, also worn by Murphy as Tommy Shelby, which comes with a label reading 'Tommy suit C'.
Across six series, Peaky Blinders tackled the rise of fascism, Irish republican politics, and communist activities through the period following the First World War, along with Shelby's political ambitions.
The sequel movie written by the show's creator and screenwriter Steven Knight is due for release this autumn.
