Last night brought big ratings for FX and the sixth season finale of Sons of Anarchy. With 5.2 million total viewers and 3.5 million viewers in the 18-49 demographic, it was the second-highest rated episode in the show’s history as well as the best-rated season finale.
As part of the FX press release, the cable channel announced that season seven will premiere sometime next fall. While it’s been presumed that there would be a seventh season, I believe this is the first official announcement.
They also referred to season six as the “penultimate 6th season,” an official indication that season seven will be the end of the show.
While Sons of Anarchy is ending next year, there have been some rumblings that creater Kurt Sutter is developing a prequel series that would take place in the 1960s.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Sons of Anarchy? Do you think season seven should be the end? Would you be interested in a prequel?
To all who might no know David Labrava aka happy is a for real shells angel
While I would be interested a prequel I hope FX & Kurt listens to the millions of fans and keeps SOA going for several more seasons.
I enjoyed watching the sons, it would be such a stab if they prefer to end it…
There are many other shows with less good events, and are still aired!!
This show is too good to end
I DO NOT want Sons to come to an end. It is one of my family’s favorite shows!!!!!
“Always leave a party when you’re having a good time”.
The show must end in order for it to live on.
I am not opposed, however, to the idea of a prequel……
You took away one of the best shows ever! What is wrong with you people?????? Everyone I know loved the show! The writer’s were great! What a let down of such talented actor’s & writer’s!
This show is too good to end.
This is by far my favorite show of all time!! I’m sooo disappointed that it will end with season 7. I don’t know what I’m going to do, it was hard enough to wait from season to season to see what happens!! DO NOT CANCEL, AND PLEASE EXTEND BEYOND SEASON 7!
I love this show i grew up doing just the same envieorment in southern calif. it does bring back memories. an i do hope it continue.
the show never disappoints. I cannot think of 1 episode that wasn’t good. I would love the prequel but to be honest it wouldn’t be the same without Charlie H. I just wish shows didn’t after 7 seasons…I just feel like this show has at least 2 more seasons left in it. I wish it would keep going. It really is one of the best shows I’ve seen. Amazing acting by everyone, especially Charlie.
I hope seventh season will not be the final season. ..I hope the show continues after seventh season. …Am a big fan of the show
I applaud the screenwriting, dialogue and the recurring, unexpected plot changes. What I find difficult to endure though is abject implausibility of the compassion these bikers and their crowd manifest in relationships, with children and while doing their “normal” jobs. Even more-so, when their “home-life” is portrayed on the heels of, or during one more carnage scene after the next. Along these line, I remain aggravated at the continual portrayal of inept law enforcement. For me, the SOA’s apparent lack of suffering any realistic consequences for the degree of organized crime consisting of gang violence, drug/weapon sales dealing shreds nearly… Read more »
The show is fantastic and I cant wait for season 7 Now Im looking forward to Shameless in Jan.
I know, Rhonda! The best thing about the new year is getting another dose of Shameless and the Gallagher family. Why Emmy Rossum hasn’t been noticed for her role in this series is shameFUL. She is brilliant as Fiona! Now life is better, SOA for another whole season and Shameless through winter!
I have been a fan since season one, sometimes to my own shock and awe….It is a extremely violent show…What holds you is extremely excellent writing, fantastic acting, and last but not least no matter how violent or sexually explicit….You love the main characters…and live to hate their foes…
I would most definitely watch a prequel….and hope it endears me to the story as this has… The devoted fans of SOA are very protective of the men and women of Charming…It has to be done ” right…”
Exactly right, Linda. This show is brilliantly created and often written by Kurt Sutter (real life husband of Katey Sagal – Gemma in the series, and played the horrible Otto until his demise early this season!). I think the true intelligence that draws me to into this often difficult to watch, but once these people of Charming in the MC somehow grab your heart, series, is that so much of these people’s lives are so brutally real and their fallibilities are at once hidden but suddenly, three episodes later you are hit with WHY they do what they do. And,… Read more »
P.S. – sorry I went off the rez in my joy of SOA. Yes, I do think it should end next year because Sutter had a seven year plan from the beginning. He’s the brilliant machine behind this amazing show, so, yes. I would LOVE to see a prequel written by Sutter! However, it might be a little difficult getting to know new actors after seven years of the ones we’ve lived with. But I will be there, for sure!!
I love watching this show, but it really broke my heart to see poor Tara die the way she did. Her death was so brutal and horrifying. What’s more is that ***** Gemma had no remorse at all about what she was doing. She is just an evil, wretched, horrible and disgusting sorry excuse for a human being. She doesn’t give two ***** about her family. All she loves is power. She is the most evil person on the show
Jared, I admire your bravery in calling it how it is….Katy Sagal has given 100% + to the role of Gemma. All of the actors/actresses have. I will miss SOA when it is gone…I look forward to the prequel…and whatever else Kurt Sutter gifts us with in the future.
completely agree Jared, to the point I am not as interested in soa as I used to be.
