While there was no talk of reviving The Shield TV series, starring Michael Chiklis, creator Shawn Ryan says he has a sequel series in mind. A potential followup would likely feature Vic Mackey (Chiklis), wherever he is today.
Reporting from The Shield Writers Reunion at the ATX Television Festival this past weekend, Deadline quotes Ryan as saying, “I have some ideas where Vic Mackey is, but I don’t know where Vic Mackey is until someone puts me in a writers’ room with a group of these people and some people who aren’t here and give us a week to sort it out.”
Entertainment Weekly‘s Lynette Rice moderated the panel at Stateside at the Paramount Theatre. The event featured Kurt Sutter, Glen Mazzara, Scott Rosenbaum, and Charles H. Eglee, along with Ryan.
EW adds:
As writers Kurt Sutter, Glen Mazzara, Scott Rosenbaum, and Charles “Chic” Eglee looked on, Ryan suggested the time has come to revisit the story. “Usually my first idea [and] instinct isn’t the right one. I have some thoughts — I’d love to hear their thoughts,” he said. “I’d love for somebody to pay us for a week to sit in a room and [figure it out].”
What do you think? Are you a fan of The Shield? What would you like to see in a sequel series?
I want to see what happens to Aceveda. Does he win his election for Mayor of LA ? His corruption never caught up with him, YET!! Vic needs to find his family and get Ronnie out of prison.
I remember that final scene of the last episode of the final season. How he lucked out, walked free with the look of menace and opportunity to start over. After all the damage Vic inflicted on those around him and lost, you have to woner what hes been up to 10 years later. If he kept his act together then hed be a captain by now someplace like I.C.E. cracking down like he always did. OR he could be doing work for others that have his past over his head and make him carry out their wishes.
Big fan of the show , please bring it back ………
A new series featuring either vic doing his usual badassery, the barn looking for any way to get him put away and Ronnie plotting his escape to get revenge on vic.
Or a whole ‘prison break’ episode of vic pulling all those career making strings he’s earned over the years to free Ronnie either legitimately or otherwise and going on the run together
hell yeah, bring mackey back!
