‘Sons of Anarchy’ Series Finale: Kurt Sutter Teasing Potential Spinoff
So what's next for Kurt Sutter now that "Sons of Anarchy" ended its seven-year run? Known as the man behind the FX biker drama series, Kurt Sutter is teasing SOA fans for a possible spinoff of the popular series. The "Sons of Anarchy" spinoff is reportedly going to focus on SAMCRO's origin and will feature the club's founding father, John Teller.
With Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) taking his life by the end of the Season 7, the "Sons of Anarcy" spinoff is not yet a done deal but the showrunner and FX president John Landgraf are in serious talks about the possibility of a period piece. The tattooed series creator revealed his idea of the prequel in November during the Sons of Sandy Relief event in New Jersey.
"I've had discussions with the network about it, and I think they are open to it," "The Bastard Executioner" creator told People. "I think there is something really interesting about the origins of the club. And to do a period piece set in the '60s, post-Vietnam could be kind of cool. I don't think we would dovetail and start right after the series ended, but it's something I'm potentially excited about it."
Based on a report, a source told E! Online that Kurt will only focus on the spinoff once he is done with "Sons of Anarchy" series finale. Now that the show finally ended it's only a matter of time for him to reveal his plans for SAMCRO.
Meanwhile, British actor Charlie Hunnam (Jax Teller) revealed on his last "Anarchy Afterword" on how Sutter waited for the right moment to reveal Gemma's (Katey Sagal) darkest secret. When Jax found out that his own mother killed his wife that moment gave him the "clarity" that Gemma needs to be stop for the sake of his children.
Even before reaching the series finale, the "Sons of Anarchy" penultimate episode featured Jax having a "sense of liberation and peace and calm," he added that after reading the script for episode 12, "Red Rose." Sutter also admitted that even from the beginning he always wanted to bring Jax from the place where JT died, hence the show's final scene.
