E! News is taking a fresh look at some of the secrets behind Sons of Anarchy while excitement builds around the upcoming limited series Legends. According to FX, the new project would reunite the cast at a fan convention after more than a decade away from the show.
FX has described Legends as a story where the boundary between fiction and reality starts to break down. The cast’s reunion is disrupted by a real-world threat that is said to be more dangerous than anything their characters faced on the series.
According to FX Entertainment president Nick Grad, Charlie Hunnam helped develop the idea with Mindhunter alum Jonathan Groff. Grad said the project is both a tribute to the original show and a playful meta twist on what fans believe they know.
The article also revisits how Sons of Anarchy came together, including creator Kurt Sutter’s early hesitation about adapting the biker-gang concept and the show’s huge popularity at its peak. It notes that the series ran for seven seasons from 2008 to 2014 and drew about 10 million viewers a week at its high point, according to the report.
