peaky blinders what happened to finn

Finn Shelby ends up exiled from the Shelby family by the end of Peaky Blinders season 6, after his loyalty is tested and he fails to side fully with them. The show implies that the family no longer trusts him because he previously let a key secret slip, which helped set off a chain of deadly consequences.

What happened

• Finn is kept on the sidelines in season 6 and no longer plays a major role in the family business.

• At the finale, he is effectively cut off from the Peaky Blinders after choosing his friend Billy over the family’s orders.

• Duke confronts him, Billy Grade is killed, and Finn is told he is no longer part of the family.

Why it happened

Finn’s mistake in season 5 was letting slip Tommy’s plan to assassinate Oswald Mosley, which allowed the IRA to stop the attack and led to major deaths, including Polly Gray’s. Because of that, Tommy and the others see him as a liability and stop trusting him.

Where he stands now

Finn leaves angry and vows revenge, so his story is not really “resolved” in a peaceful way. Some coverage also notes that the ending leaves room for him to reappear in the Peaky Blinders film.

TL;DR: Finn doesn’t die; he gets pushed out of the family after betraying their trust, and he exits the series furious.
