FX Announces New “Sons Of Anarchy” Spin-Off Series “Legends”
Disney has announced details on a brand-new original limited series from FX called “Legends”, which features the stars of the hit series “Sons of Anarchy” coming together for a meta-thriller from Charlie Hunnam.
The series tells the story of what happened when the cast of “Sons of Anarchy” reunites at a fan convention after more than a decade, the line between life and art blurs as the fractured brotherhood finds itself up against a real-world threat more dangerous than anything they ever faced in their show.
Playing themselves in this real-world adventure, Hunnam will star with Ron Perlman, Katey Sagal, Maggie Siff, Mark Boone Junior, Tommy Flanagan, Kim Coates and Theo Rossi, with additional cast to be announced.
Nick Grad, FX Entertainment President, said in a statement regarding the new show:
“When Charlie brought us this inspired idea, we instantly sparked to his bold and entertaining vision. Charlie’s talents are on full display as a writer, performer and executive producer, leading the real-life brotherhood on an adventure that is both a love letter to the series and a fun meta twist on what fans think they know.”
FX’s “Legends” is developed and executive produced by Hunnam and Jonathan Groff, with Rob Mac, Nicholas Frenkel and Jackie Cohn also serving as executive producers. The series will be produced by FX Productions and 20th Television.
This new original series will air on the FX linear channel, along with Hulu and Hulu On Disney+ in the United States, and on Disney+ around the world.
Roger’s Take: This sounds like a weird but interesting spin-off series that could be fun, especially for the actors, who get to do something completely different, while still benefiting from that long history of the established “Son Of Anarchy” franchise.
