‘Sons of Anarchy’ Season 7 Finale Spoilers: Kurt Sutter On Ending The Biker Series And Picking The Right Song For The Final Ride
Getting emotional as the show rides for its final season, "Sons of Anarchy" showrunner Kurt Sutter revealed his plans for the show's ending and picking the right soundtrack for season 7's finale. Trying to stay organic in telling the story, Sutter is very particular of not compromising his vision for the show and sticking to his plan on how the show is supposed to end.
"I know how I want it to end, and that's the way I'm going to end it, and however it lands in terms of the landscape of things, that's the way it will land," the tattooed series creator revealed on his interview with Entertainment Weekly. "As long as I know I'm telling the story that I intended to tell, then I know that I've been organic in terms of the narrative and didn't compromise the vision, I can feel good about it going in."
With the last episode running for 90 minutes, FX's John Landgraff believes in surprising the audience for having an extra time as the show is known for its unpredictable twists. By giving the creative team the leeway in telling the story, fans of the show were on their toes while watching it as they don't know when it's going to end.
Known for using montages in telling the biker story, the season 7 premiere episode soundtrack, "Bohemian Rhapsody," is one of the many epic covers of the show. And now that season 7 is close to its final ride, Sutter is planning to have another epic soundtrack that fans will remember even if the show is no longer on air.
A song by an artist who rarely lets his music used for soundtracks, Sutter used all his connection to track down the artist so he can get the permission to use it. Telling the story that he wants to tell with the right soundtrack to heighten the mood of the scene is what makes "Sons of Anarchy" one of the most memorable shows in television today.
"Sons of Anarchy" season 7, episode 7 returns to FX on Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 10 P.M.
