FX Orders 'Sons of Anarchy' Reunion Series With 'Meta-Thriller' Twist
FX and Hulu are bringing the SAMCRO crew back together, but with a twist that nobody saw coming. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a new limited series titled 'Legends' has been ordered, which will see the original 'Sons of Anarchy' cast return.
Here's the catch, per the outlet: they won't be playing their old characters. Instead, Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman, Katey Sagal, and several other original stars will portray fictionalized versions of themselves.
The show's logline, as reported by TVLine, describes a scenario where the cast reunites at a fan convention years after the show ended. The event takes a dark turn when a real-world threat emerges, forcing the group to confront a danger worse than anything they faced on the fictional show.
FX Entertainment President Nick Grad praised Hunnam's concept in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, calling it a 'bold and entertaining vision' that serves as both a love letter and a meta twist for fans.
The series is described as a 'meta-thriller' that cleverly sidesteps the problem of most major characters having been killed off in the original series' finale.
