With Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) taking his life by the end of Season 7, the “Sons of Anarchy” spinoff is not yet a done deal but the showrunner and FX president John Landgraf are in talks about the possibility of a period piece. The tattooed series creator revealed his idea of the prequel in November during the Sons of Sandy Relief in New Jersey.
“I’ve had discussions with the network about it, and I think they are open to it,” “The Bastard Executioner” creator told People. “I think there is something really interesting about the origins of the club. And to do a period piece set in the ’60s, post-Vietnam could be kind of cool. I don’t think we would dovetail and start right after the series ended, but it’s something I’m potentially excited about it.”
