If you thought the Sons of Anarchy saga had reached its final chapter, think again! Kurt Sutter, the mastermind behind the iconic FX series, recently hinted that the anticipated prequel series could still see the light of day. Dedicated fans from Venice Beach to the Hollywood Hills have been buzzing about this for years, and it looks like there's a glimmer of hope on the horizon.
In a candid chat, Sutter revealed that he remains in tight contact with FX president John Landgraf. "John and I were always friends while I worked with him, but we've become really close friends since I left," Sutter shared. "I know that he loves the IP, and I trust John. When it's the right time, that's when it'll happen."
“I think there are still some stories to tell, and it would be fantastic to come back and be able to do that. I don't think it's completely off the table, but as things change, you embrace whatever direction you're taken in.” — Kurt Sutter, Co-creator, Sons of Anarchy
Since Sons of Anarchy wrapped up in 2014, the show's loyal fanbase – from downtown LA to the streets of San Francisco – has been itching for more. A prequel could dive into the gritty backstory of SAMCRO's founding members, offering fresh insights into beloved characters. With FX and Sutter showing interest, the potential for more tales from the Anarchy universe could keep viewers on the edge of their beach chairs.
The proposed prequel, tentatively titled 'The First 9', promises to unravel the early days of the SAMCRO motorcycle club. While Charlie Hunnam's iconic Jax Teller might not be hitting the screen, there's talk that he could lend his voice as the narrator, bridging the original saga to its origins.
As the talks between Sutter and Landgraf continue, fans are left in anticipation, hoping that the stars align. With no green light just yet, all eyes are on FX to see if they'll rev up the engines on this new chapter. Until then, keep your helmets ready and your hopes high – SAMCRO might just ride again!
In 2019, FX's interest in a prequel was first sparked, and it's clear that the passion for the Sons of Anarchy story is alive and well. With the creative forces still eager to revisit the world, fans hope that it's only a matter of time before they get to witness the birth of SAMCRO on their screens.
