What is Finally Finn?
These first two chapters are a look into the world of Finally Finn.
If you'd like to jump straight in then skip to chapter 3!
Finally Finn is about a lad who could be any of us — funny, clever, charismatic — but underneath, he’s falling. He’s the guy who makes everyone else laugh while quietly sabotaging his own life, who everyone thinks is stronger than he feels, and who doesn’t know if he’s ever going to get it together.
It’s about that space between being young and being an adult, where your mates are your family and the pub is your church. It’s about friendship that saves you and drags you down in the same breath. It’s about therapy, self-destruction, jealousy, love you can’t act on, and the weight of expectations you’ll never meet.
Yeah, it’s a comedy — the lads are always in ridiculous situations, scrapping, scheming, getting into stupid chaos. But underneath the laughs, it’s brutal. It’s honest about depression, about loneliness, about how hard it is to admit you need help when you’ve built your whole life around being “the funny one” or “the strong one.”
The reason I know it works is because it’s real. These characters are stitched from people I’ve grown up with — their flaws, their humour, their heartbreak. It’s not a sitcom, it’s not a cartoon that resets every week. Actions have consequences. Things don’t magically fix. You’ll laugh, but it’ll leaves a scar.
If you’ve ever felt like the world’s moving on without you… if you’ve ever tried to be there for your mates while you’re crumbling inside… if you’ve ever wanted something so badly but sabotaged it the second you got close… that… that is Finally Finn.
It’s not perfect. It’s not clean. But it’s real. And if we get it right, people won’t just see the show — they’ll feel seen by the show.
Who is in Finally Finn?
These are the characters that make up Finally Finn — each with their own identity, each playing a vital role in the story. They aren’t stereotypes or background players; they’re fully formed people, flawed, funny, and carrying battles of their own beneath the surface.
In Season Two, I’d like the focus to move deeper into their individual struggles, shining a light on the realities that everyday people face — no matter their background, their past, or the face they show to the world.
All the Characters are based on my real-world experiences.
I have written these characters uniquely and specifically. Every Character if you pay attention has low lying autism besides maybe one or two. And I won’t tell you who -- haha. This bring all the characters to a point in which they’re closer than most families ever could be. I’d love for you to see this and hopefully even recognize a loved one yourself.
Finn however certainly does have high functioning Autism, and I think you’ll see that that quite quickly.
Where is Finally Finn?
The world of Finally Finn is small, familiar, and recognizably British but not overly, it certainly isn’t set in London so no red busses etc. It’s built around the spaces we all know: the local pub, the football pitch, the corner shop, the house that’s never quite finished, the campsite that feels like escape. These everyday settings become stages for comedy, conflict, and connection — places where laughs land harder and heartbreak cuts deeper because they feel so real.
It isn’t about grand locations or glossy backdrops. It’s about the lives lived in ordinary spaces, and how those spaces hold extraordinary stories.
Why Finally Finn?
Finally Finn is us. It’s me, it’s you, it’s your neighbour. It shines a light on the silent struggles we all carry — the ones we don’t talk about because we assume everyone else is dealing with them too. By putting these battles on screen, raw and unfiltered, the series gives a voice to what so many people live with quietly.
I was inspired by BoJack Horseman and how it used animation to explore mental health with honesty. But I also felt that many of those struggles didn’t translate from America to Britain. Our humour is darker, our culture quieter, our pain more hidden. So I turned to my own life for inspiration, pouring it into Finally Finn. Every character is loosely based on real people I know, which is why the show feels lived-in and authentic.
This cartoon may not be neat or perfect, but it will never waste your time. At its best, it will make you laugh, break your heart, and maybe even reveal something in yourself you didn’t know could be helped.
What is Finally Finn?
Finally Finn follows the story of a young man carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, yet convinced he isn’t strong enough to bear it. We watch Finn as he navigates a life he’s deeply unhappy with, constantly trying to change his path but forever battling setbacks — some from the world, many from himself.
It’s comical. It’s tragic. It’s real. An emotional rollercoaster where you’ll find yourself rooting for outcomes that, when they arrive, make you question whether you really wanted them that way.
The show thrives on contradictions: problems that look enviable from the outside but are quietly unbearable to live through. It blends raw humour with heartbreak, creating a world where nothing is simple, nothing resets, and every choice leaves a mark.
