'Sons of Anarchy' Spinoff 'Legends' Starring Charlie Hunnam Ordered

Key Points:

• FX has ordered a limited series titled "Legends," a "meta-thriller" spinoff starring Charlie Hunnam and reuniting the original Sons of Anarchy cast as fictionalized versions of themselves facing a real-world threat.
• The series explores the cast reuniting at a fan convention over a decade later, blurring the lines between life and art, with Hunnam, Ron Perlman, Katey Sagal, and others returning; Sons creator Kurt Sutter is not involved.
• "Legends" was developed by Hunnam and Jonathan Groff, with production by FX Productions and 20th Television, and will stream on FX and Hulu.
• The concept cleverly bypasses the challenge of reviving a show where most major characters were killed off, including Hunnam’s character Jax Teller, who had a definitive sendoff in the original series finale.
• Sons of Anarchy was a major FX hit with seven seasons and 92 episodes, spawning the spinoff Mayans M.C., which ran for five seasons and ended in 2023; Hunnam recently earned an Emmy nomination for "Monster: The Ed Gein Story" and is working on the BBC’s "Legacy of Spies."
