However, the most loved character in “Sons of Anarchy,” Jax Teller, played by Charlie Hunnam, is not sure to make a return. Hunnam is not so sure about reprising his role of Jax Teller, although Pitt is reportedly starring in the new cast playing Teller’s father. Hunnam expressed his sadness over the death of his character in the end on the show and that the show got cancelled.

If “Sons of Anarchy” fans thought it’s all over once the show ended after seven seasons, they thought wrong. Nothing’s over for the franchise and the much-anticipated prequel is already underway.

That’s not all. Talks are also being held for a possible spinoff about the Mayans as well. The cast will be back together for a reunion in Houston, Texas, scheduled to be held from May 27-29, 2016 for the prequel and the spinoff.

The “Sons of Anarchy” spinoff won’t be about the “First 9” as initially thought. The upcoming spinoff will be about the Mayans.
