JJ, portrayed by the talented Rudy Pankow, met a tragic end that has left fans devastated.

To provide a brief recap of the dramatic events: JJ discovered that Chandler Groff was his estranged father, leading him to reluctantly team up with Groff while unaware of his father’s duplicitous motives.

Throughout the season, Groff wreaked havoc, committing various crimes and deceitfully framing JJ, putting him in perilous situations. Eventually, JJ’s loyal friends came to his rescue, but the emotional turmoil had led JJ down a dark path.

His intense season culminated in a desperate race to reach the Blue Crown before Groff could. Tragically, Groff had other sinister intentions and fatally stabbed JJ, leaving the audience in shock.

The Pogues, JJ’s close-knit group of friends, vowed to seek justice and avenge his untimely death.

Looking ahead, it remains uncertain whether Rudy will depart from the series permanently or if he will only appear minimally in season 5, possibly through flashbacks that explore his character’s impactful journey.
