The final season of Peaky Blinders<\/a> finally arrived on BBC One on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The episode paid an emotional tribute to late actress Helen McCrory<\/a> as viewers finally discovered how fan-favourite Polly Gray would be written out<\/a> of the show.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the episode, Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) had a tense reunion with estranged cousin Michael Gray (Finn Cole) in 1933, five years after Michael swore to wreak vengeance on Tommy for the death of Polly.<\/p>\n

Tommy tried to do business with Michael and his boss, Jack Nelson \u2013 also referred to as \u2018Uncle Jack\u2019.<\/p>\n

So, who is this new character and who will play him in the show?<\/p>\n

Here is everything you need to know about Jack Nelson in Peaky Blinders.<\/p>

Jack Nelson is the powerful uncle of Gina Gray (Anya Taylor-Joy) and is the boss of her husband Michael Gray in the United States.<\/p>\n

He is known in the show for his political connections and large import and export business.<\/p>\n

Referred to as \u2018Uncle Jack\u2019 in the season 6 premiere, Tommy Shelby met up with associates of Jack Nelson about a potential business opportunity in the aftermath of prohibition ending in the United States.<\/p>\n

After the talks went down badly, Tommy tricked Michael into carrying opium and then tipped off the police, landing his cousin in prison.<\/p>\n

Tommy approached Gina with an offer for business with Jack Nelson but got rejected.<\/p>\n

However, Tommy threatened to do business with Nelson\u2019s rivals instead \u2013 including the Solomons family in the US.<\/p>\n

Visiting Michael at the end of the episode, Tommy revealed that Jack, his wife, mistress, friend and son of President Roosevelt and Gina would all be heading to London to do business, leaving Michael enraged.<\/p>\n

Tommy had previously teased that Jack\u2019s high-society connections and hidden past have made him an influential figure who needs to keep a clean public image.<\/p>\n
