Finn Abernathy left the show to pursue a different career path.
Finn Abernathy, portrayed by actor Luke Kleintank, was introduced in the seventh season of the television series “Bones” as an intern at the Jeffersonian Institute. He was a charming Southern gentleman with a troubled past who quickly became a fan favorite. However, Finn’s character was written off the show in the ninth season. The in-universe explanation for his departure was that he decided to leave the Jeffersonian to focus on a new opportunity. Specifically, he received an offer to start a hot sauce business with his girlfriend, Michelle Welton, who is the daughter of Dr. Camille Saroyan, a main character on the show.
Behind the scenes, Luke Kleintank’s departure was likely due to the actor’s decision to explore other acting opportunities. After leaving “Bones,” Kleintank appeared in other television series and films, continuing to build his career. The show continued without Finn, and his character’s exit was handled in a way that left the door open for a potential return, although he did not come back before the series concluded after its twelfth season. Finn’s time on “Bones” was marked by his development from a young man with a criminal background to a talented forensic intern with a promising future.
