The world of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original (SAMCRO) continues to rumble more than a decade after the final ride of Jax Teller. As of December 13, 2025, the conversation around the iconic FX series remains fiercely alive, fueled by cast updates, the definitive end of the direct spin-off, and persistent, yet complicated, rumors of a prequel series set to explore the club’s founding members, the "First 9."
The enduring power of Sons of Anarchy lies not just in its Shakespearean tragedy—the rise and fall of Jackson "Jax" Teller—but in the powerful brotherhood and outlaw mythology created by Kurt Sutter. This deep dive uncovers the freshest news, explores the current projects of the beloved cast, and definitively addresses the chances of a new chapter in the SOA universe.
The Cast's New Ride: Where Are the Sons of Anarchy Stars Now in 2025
While the bikes of SAMCRO have been parked, the actors who brought the Redwood Original charter to life have been busy in Hollywood, securing major roles that prove their careers extend far beyond Charming, California. The current projects of the main cast are a major focus for fans in 2025.
- Charlie Hunnam (Jax Teller): The actor who embodied the tragic anti-hero Jax Teller has a high-profile 2025. He is slated to star in the mini-series Monster: The Ed Gein Story, a project that sees him take on a dramatically different, darker role. This follows his appearance in Zack Snyder's sci-fi epic, Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver, demonstrating his range from gritty drama to blockbuster action. Hunnam has consistently expressed a deep connection to the character and the world of the show, often fueling speculation about a possible return.
- Katey Sagal (Gemma Teller Morrow): The matriarch of the club, Gemma, remains a powerhouse in television. Sagal continues to take on diverse roles, maintaining a strong presence in various new series and films, solidifying her status as one of television's most recognizable and respected actresses. Her work often spans comedy and drama, a testament to her versatility.
- Kim Coates (Alex "Tig" Trager): Known for his eccentric and loyal character, Tig, Coates remains a prolific actor in both film and television. His recent work has seen him move into various supporting and lead roles across different genres, frequently engaging with fans at conventions, including a notable panel in 2025, keeping the spirit of the show alive.
- Theo Rossi (Juan Carlos "Juice" Ortiz): Since his emotional arc as Juice, Rossi has successfully transitioned into film and prestige TV, starring in projects that showcase his serious dramatic chops. He was also a featured panelist at a 2025 convention, discussing his time on the show and his current career trajectory.
- Mark Boone Junior (Robert "Bobby Elvis" Munson): The former Vice President and resident Elvis impersonator, Boone Junior, continues to secure various film and television roles, adding his unique presence to projects like The Last Man on Earth and other independent films.
The Sons of Anarchy Universe: Mayans MC and The End of an Era
The most concrete piece of news for the SOA universe in recent years is the definitive end of its primary spin-off. The series Mayans MC, which focused on the rival-turned-ally Mayans Motorcycle Club, concluded its run in July 2023 with its fifth and final season.
This conclusion marks a significant turning point, as it shuts the door on the most direct continuation of the narrative established in Sons of Anarchy. The final season of Mayans MC brought the story of the Santo Padre Charter to a dramatic close, completing the narrative arc that began with the original series. The end of Mayans MC effectively clears the slate for any potential new projects, but it also means the immediate, ongoing world of the motorcycle clubs is now silent.
The cancellation of the spin-off is largely attributed to the departure of creator Kurt Sutter from FX/Disney, which acquired the network. This corporate shift has complicated the development of any further projects, including the highly anticipated prequels or sequels. The creative control over the Redwood Original saga now rests with the studio, not the original visionary.
The Persistent Rumor Mill: Will We Ever See a 'First 9' Prequel?
Despite the end of Mayans MC and the logistical hurdles, the most talked-about potential project in the SOA universe remains a prequel series focusing on the "First 9"—the original founding members of the club. This series would explore the lives of John Teller and Clay Morrow as they return from the Vietnam War and establish the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club in Charming, California, in 1967.
The Obstacles to a New SOA Series
The idea of a "First 9" prequel, which would detail the origins of the Reaper Crew and the tragic love triangle between John, Clay, and Gemma Teller Morrow, is a fan favorite. However, several major entities stand in the way of its realization:
- Kurt Sutter's Status: Creator Kurt Sutter, the mastermind behind the entire SOA saga, is currently unable to work on any new projects within the universe due to his past separation from Disney/FX. This is the single biggest barrier to a new, authentic series.
- Disney Ownership: The intellectual property (IP) is now owned by Disney, following its acquisition of 20th Century Fox. Any new series would require a green light from the corporate entity, which may have different creative priorities than the original FX network.
- Charlie Hunnam's Comments: While Hunnam has stated he would be open to playing Jax Teller again if the story was right, a direct sequel featuring an adult Abel Teller or Thomas Teller is considered unlikely. However, his willingness to return keeps the sequel possibility a faint, but alive, hope.
Topical Entities and LSI Keywords: A Deeper Dive into the SOA Lore
The lasting impact of Sons of Anarchy is rooted in its rich, complex world, which is built on a foundation of detailed lore and interconnected relationships. To fully understand the show's topical authority, one must recognize the key entities that define the narrative. The following entities and LSI keywords are central to the show's enduring legacy:
