‘Sons of Anarchy’ Season 7 Spoilers: What to Expect in the Series’ Final Season
'Sons of Anarchy' Season 6 ended with a big blow to Charlie Hunnam's character Jax as he lost his wife Tara following the death of his best friend Opie. The FX series is scheduled to begin this fall since the last season wrapped up in December.
Season 6 last episode "A Mother's Work" is the series' highest ratings in the show's history which earned them with 5.2 million viewers. But the million dollar question is what's in store for the next series.
Series creator Kurt Sutter recently revealed to an interview with Entertainment Weekly that the final season will pick up a few weeks after the final scene of Season 6. He said that Jax will be brought in for questioning on Tara's death.
"I think procedurally they would definitely bring him in and at the very least begin the questioning process," says Sutter.
The seventh and final season will bring Jax's junkie ex-wife Wendy played by Drea de Matteo. The actress will play a larger role, although she had a recurring role for the show this will be her first stint as a full-pledged regular. Because of Tara's death, Jax will be forced to move on with his life for his two sons Abel and Thomas and Wendy will have a chance to reconnect with her son.
The news about Wendy's comeback comes after Tara's death, suggesting that Wendy "will play a more hands-on role in the life of son Abel' and maybe Jax's other son Thomas.
With so much death every season, the series producer wants to slow down the killings especially for the main characters. 'It would be difficult if I got rid of characters like Tig and Juice and Chibs, especially with Opie gone. They feel like family to people,' says Sutter. 'You have to be very careful not to be arbitrary in terms of who lives and who dies.'
When asked to what expect in Charlie Hunnam's character Jackson Teller, Sutter revealed: I knew, ultimately, where I wanted to take Jax in [the] final season... I wanted to remove his 'True North,' because I feel like there needs to be this major psychic and emotional shift that has to happen.'
'What direction it will push him in we will see next season. But what happens to a guy like that now that he's lost both of the people he loves the most, who were able to be his moral compass, with Opie and now Tara. It really is Jax completely untethered and on his own in the final season, he concluded.
