Sons of Anarchy cast reunites for FX meta-series Legends

FX has greenlit Legends, a meta-thriller reuniting Charlie Hunnam and seven Sons of Anarchy co-stars who will play themselves at a fan convention more than a decade after the biker drama ended. Created by Hunnam with Jonathan Groff as showrunner, the Sons of Anarchy reunion pits the cast against a real-world threat that blurs the line between fiction and reality.

Key Takeaways

• FX ordered the limited series Legends, a meta-thriller starring Charlie Hunnam and much of the original Sons of Anarchy main cast.
• The cast reunites at a fan convention and faces a real-world threat more dangerous than anything from the show.
• Hunnam created and executive produces the series; Jonathan Groff serves as showrunner.
• Kurt Sutter, who created Sons of Anarchy, is not credited as involved in Legends.
• The series will air on FX and stream on Hulu; additional casting will be announced later.

What Is FX's 'Legends' About?

Legends is described as a meta-thriller that puts the Sons of Anarchy cast back together—sort of. When the actors reunite at a fan convention after more than a decade away from the screen, the boundary between life and art begins to blur.

According to FX, the fractured brotherhood soon confronts a real-world threat more dangerous than anything they faced in their fictional outlaw biker world. Nick Grad, FX Entertainment president, called it both a love letter to the series and a fun meta twist on what fans think they know.

Which 'Sons of Anarchy' Stars Are Returning?

Charlie Hunnam leads the ensemble alongside Ron Perlman (Clay), Katey Sagal (Gemma), Maggie Siff (Tara), Mark Boone Junior (Bobby), Tommy Flanagan (Chibs), Kim Coates (Tig), and Theo Rossi (Juice). All will portray themselves rather than their original characters.

Additional casting will be announced at a later date. Deadline notes that many cast members have maintained close relationships and regularly reconnect at fan conventions in the 12 years since Sons of Anarchy concluded in 2014.

Is Kurt Sutter Involved in 'Legends'?

Sons of Anarchy was created by Kurt Sutter and ran for seven seasons on FX, becoming a ratings juggernaut for the network. Sutter is not credited as being involved in Legends, according to Deadline.

Sutter previously developed spinoffs including Mayans M.C., which premiered in 2018, along with planned projects such as the prequel First Nine and a sequel focused on Jax Teller's sons Abel and Thomas. Legends represents a separate path driven by Hunnam, who has been developing the project with FX for at least three years before Groff joined more recently.

When and Where Can You Watch 'Legends'?

FX has ordered the limited series but has not announced a premiere date. Legends will be produced by FX Productions and 20th Television and will be available on FX and Hulu.

Hunnam arrives at the greenlight on the heels of rave reviews and his first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Netflix's Monster: The Ed Gein Story.
