“The success of Sons of Anarchy is very gratifying and the show has become a bona-fide hit,” said FX President and General Manager John Landgraf. “The critics have recognized Sons as one the best series on television, and the show has earned its place alongside FX’s great drama series The Shield, Nip/Tuck, Rescue Me and Damages. Creatively, this season was spectacular and all credit goes to Kurt [Sutter] and the incredible cast led by Katey Sagal, Charlie Hunnam and Ron Perlman.”
A full 13-episode season is in the order and creator/executive producer Kurt Sutter reached a deal on a two-year extension to continue his services as showrunner/writer. Additionally, all the cast are in place to return with the premiere slated for September 2010.
In an interview with NJ.com, Sutter said that in the next season he wants “to take them into a world that is outside their own, where they don’t have control, where they are subject to other people’s laws and beliefs and perameters. Where they aren’t quite the big fish in the small pond.”
