Sons of Anarchy is back for Season 6 starting Tuesday, September 10th at 10pm on FX. Though it's not one of the more heavily discussed television shows on GAF, in recent years more and more people have been posting about SoA. The show puts up great viewership numbers on FX, and the acting talent is consistently praised by critics. While there have been a number of misteps over the years, the show remains entertaining for many. Created by Kurt Sutter (The Shield), Sons of Anarchy has been compared to The Shield and The Sopranos, as well as being described as "Hamlet on a Harley." With high caliber acting, dark humor, sex, violence, and profanity, this is tv for adults.

Sons of Anarchy is an adrenalized drama with darkly comedic undertones that explores a notorious outlaw motorcycle club's (MC) desire to protect its livelihood while ensuring that their simple, sheltered town of Charming, California remains exactly that, charming. The MC must confront threats from drug dealers, corporate developers, and overzealous law officers. Behind the MC's familial lifestyle and legally thriving automotive shop is a ruthless and illegal arms business driven by the seduction of money, power, and blood.

Jackson 'Jax' Teller (Charlie Hunnam) is SAMCRO's new President who must face the consequences of the MC's illicit deeds before they tear the club apart. Gemma Teller-Morrow (Katey Sagal) is Jax's formidable mother. Clarence 'Clay' Morrow (Ron Perlman) is Jax's stepfather, the last of the Original Nine and former President. Dr. Tara Knowles (Maggie Siff) is Jax's old lady and mother of his second son.

Having framed Clay for the murder of Damon Pope, Season Six begins with Jax's leadership uncontested, but his family life suffering from his single-minded pursuit of John Teller's vision. Jax must find a way to keep Tara from going to prison for conspiracy to commit murder while rebuilding his club and breaking from the cycle of violence and greed that ultimately led to his best friend's death.

• Once an episode airs in the US on the East Coast, it's fair game. Feel free to discuss anything that has aired without using spoiler tags.

Joining the cast or guest-starring this season:

We will see more of former U.S. Marshall Lee Toric on FX‘s Sons Of Anarchy. Donal Logue, who introduced the character in the last three episodes of SOA‘s fifth season, will be back in Season 6 for a major arc, reprising the character of Toric, forced into retirement because of his history of violence. Logue and SOA creator Kurt Sutter had talked for years about Logue guesting on the show before the timing finally worked, so it makes sense for Sutter to keep the actor around for a little longer.

Jimmy Smits is set to return to FX‘s flagship drama Sons Of Anarchy, reprising his role as Neron “Nero” Padilla, a former gangbanger whose exit strategy is trumped by his partnership with Jax (Charlie Hunnam). Smits appeared in 12 of the 13 episodes from Anarchy‘s fifth season. He has now signed on to Season 6, which is shaping to be even more intense and volatile.

Sons of Anarchy is pulling Kim Dickens back into the escort biz. The TV vet — who played head whore Joanie Stubbs on HBO’s Deadwood — is joining the FX drama’s upcoming sixth season as

Spoiler

seductive and maternal madame Colette Jane.

Emmy-nominated CCH Pounder will join FX’s Sons of Anarchy for a multi-episode arc. She will play Tyne Patterson,

Spoiler

a San Joaquin County District Attorney who runs head first into the violent biker ways. Pounder will first appear in the second episode of SOA, which will return in the fall.

"Southland's" C. Thomas Howell and "Shameless" star Steve Howey will appear in multiple episodes during Season 6 of "Sons of Anarchy".

Howell will play Frank Eagan,

Spoiler

"an ATF agent with questionable loyalties,"

while Howey will appear as Hopper,

Spoiler

"a hardcore north Vegas member who crosses paths with SAMCRO."

Seems everything from Season 4 is still unsolved. Only there's now more issues.

 

[inm8num2]

Amazing OP!

Missing Opie.

Saddle up, nomads. 6 is going to be one hell of a ride.

There will undoubtedly be a ~5 minute "Previously on Sons of Anarchy" segment before the premiere, but does anyone have a S5 recap vid on youtube or something?

Variety review:

Lest those “Fifty Shades of Grey” protestors forget Charlie Hunnam’s day job, “Sons of Anarchy” returns, so big and boisterous even the customary episodic length can’t contain it. Each of three previewed episodes runs long, one of the luxuries associated with producing for FX. As for the content, “Sons” remains bleak and grim as ever, as series creator Kurt Sutter plunges into a world of moral decay, where those ostensibly enforcing the law are every bit as nasty as the outlaws. Having resourcefully kept its wheels spinning this long, it’ll be interesting to see where this wild ride winds up.

Sidebar: It's really annoying trying to track down actual SoA news right now because of all the Fifty Shades articles being posted.

 

[Vio-Lence]

I wish FX would reign in Sutter a little bit more. All the episodes running long seems over indulgent. He could use some editing in my opinion.

I'm sure they don't mind the extra 15 minutes of ads.

I cannot wait! And I love the addition of C. Thomas Howell this season...if I can't get him in Southland, I'll take this as a replacement

 

[Omega]

Chibs - loyal to the bone.

I'm betting he dies in the season opener.

They don't really have anything to do for him anymore. He served his purpose in S3 and he's just been sticking around doing nothing

Thanks guys! I think I'll need to rewatch S5, kinda forgot where it left off lol

No need to watch it. The fact that you don't even remember where it left off should let you know it was a waste of a season.

Had to be one of the worsts seasons in television history.

 

[dave is ok]

This show is reaching Dexter lows.

 

[RepairmanJack]

This show is reaching Dexter lows.

:lol what?! I don't even think that's possible...

 

[King Allant]

but I want Dewery back

Spoiler

I didn't know he was cast for season 6

This show is reaching Dexter lows.

what!!? No just no, dude

 

[mernst23]

This show is reaching Dexter lows.

What?

No.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I hope the tradition of cunt punting continues.

 

[King Allant]

I hope the tradition of cunt punting continues.

well that shouldn't be hard with Tara in prison

 

[ivysaur12]

The best. Love love love.

 

[Carnby]

Does iTunes offer season passes for this show? I don't have cable anymore.

 

[dave is ok]

OK, OK, I take it back.

 

[Kallor]

This show is reaching Dexter lows.

It never reached Dexter highs, at least.

 

[inm8num2]

This show is reaching Dexter lows.

Yea...no.

SoA is as good as ever. This show has perhaps the best continuity among scripted shows. Things resonate from one season to the next. Characters don't get amnesia every 13 episodes.

 

[RepairmanJack]

OK, OK, I take it back.

You're god damned right.

 

[Carnby]

Yea...no.

SoA is as good as ever. This show has perhaps the best continuity among scripted shows. Things resonate from one season to the next. Characters don't get amnesia every 13 episodes.

The writers just hit the reset button instead. Sutter is the Russo of television writing.

To answer my own question, Season 6 is on iTunes. 24.99 for standard definition.

 

[King Allant]

lol dexter high wished they were good as SoA high.

 

[Chinner]

does this take before or after the events of pacific rim?

 

[Baraka in the White House]

I just hope they can pull off a good season finale for a change.

 

[lazybones18]

I'm betting he dies in the season opener.

They don't really have anything to do for him anymore. He served his purpose in S3 and he's just been sticking around doing nothing.

That happens and there will be a pipe with your name on it

 

[Karak]

Man loving the guest starts damn. Howell, who I really like, is going to be very interesting in his role as he looks the part already. Something about his weaselly face hahaha

 

[King Allant]

does this take before or after the events of pacific rim?

well here the timeline first it SoA then 50 shades of Gray, finally it pacific rim

 

[RepairmanJack]

I just hope they can pull off a good season finale for a change.

Season 4's was incredible.

 

[Formosa]

Sorry for being a noob, but is there a way to notify me when someone quoted my post on GAF? TIA.

Nope. Use the search function.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Season 4's was incredible.

Yeah that was a pretty good one but there's just something I find off about them. Probably just me. I know I'm kind of tired of Clay sticking around and the whole, "Will he or won't he?" thing with Jax killing him. I mean I love Ron Perlman as an actor but it really seems like Clay should have bowed out last season.

 

[inm8num2]

The writers just hit the reset button instead. Sutter is the Russo of television writing.

To answer my own question, Season 6 is on iTunes. 24.99 for standard definition.

There was only a soft reboot between seasons 3 and 4 due to the time jump. If you think seasons 2, 3, and 5 were "resets" you haven't been paying nearly enough attention.

 

[Formosa]

Nope. Use the search function.

Thx

I just finished S5.

I was so relieved when Jax didn't kill Tig. I love me some Tig.

Yeah, there's just some SWERVE that makes the problems persist rather than getting solved...

WCW 2000-2001 was better scripted than this show
