Dear friends of the most legendary mobster clan on television, we may see more adventures again from ‘The Sopranos’. Today we learn that David Chase and HBO Max are in serious talks to make a new prequel to one of the best series ever written.
The news comes a few weeks after the premiere of ‘The Many Saints of Newark’, the film that delves into the youth of Tony Soprano (played by Michael Gandolfini) and the life of dickie moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola).
Although its figures at the box office have not finished being what they expected from Warner, its reception on the platform has opened the possibility of continuing what was seen on the tape. Or at least that’s what Ann Sarnoff says, CEO of WarnerMedia Studios and Networks.
A possibility that David Chase himself hinted at during the promotion of the film. The scriptwriter warned at the time, yes, that to retake again the universe of the New Jersey gangsters would be in the form of a prequel, not as a sequel to the HBO series.
So, to go ahead with Chase and HBO Max’s plans, the new series would take place after the events that occurred in ‘The Many Saints of Newark’ (which is set between the 60s and 70s) and before the start of ‘The Sopranos’ (which began in 1999). The biggest condition: There’s only one way I could do it, and that’s for Terry [Winter] and I can write the script together. That would.
Fingers crossed and hope so.
