Summary

Theo Rossi hints at a new Sons of Anarchy project that may reunite him with Charlie Hunnam and the rest of the former cast.
While the characters of Juice and Jax Teller died in the original series, there are still ways for them to make a triumphant return.
Charlie Hunnam has mentioned a separate Sons of Anarchy spinoff idea that doesn't involve Jax Teller, indicating that there are multiple projects in the works for the Sons of Anarchy universe.

Theo Rossi, who played biker Juice Ortiz in the hit series Sons of Anarchy, seemingly teased a new Sons of Anarchy project that will see him reunited with series star Charlie Hunnam. Created by Kurt Sutter, Sons of Anarchy follows the criminal exploits of the titular outlaw motorcycle gang as they operate out of a fictional town in California’s Central Valley. First airing in 2008, the series ran for seven seasons before finally wrapping up in 2014. The series also inspired a Sons of Anarchy spinoff, Mayans M.C., which also came to an end after its season 5 finale in July 2023.

During a panel discussion for the crime thriller Emily the Criminal, Rossi hinted at a potential project involving Hunnam and the rest of his former Sons of Anarchy co-stars. When Rossi was asked about the Sons of Anarchy spinoff, he smiled and replied: "There might be something coming up where we're all back together, which is insane... If it happens, it's wild, but if it doesn't it would be perfect and really cool because we also talk every day.” The new Sons of Anarchy project seems impossible, as Juice died in the original series, as does Charlie Hunnam's Jax Teller, but there are still ways the characters could return.

How Could Charlie Hunnam’s Jax Teller Return?

Following many of the story beats presented in the classic 17th-century play Hamlet, Hunnam’s Jax Teller was a tragic hero in the same vein as Shakespeare’s famous Danish prince. Motivated by his father's death and driven to evil deeds, Jax’s epic trajectory culminated in him sacrificing himself for the benefit of those around him. This connection was further reinforced by Sutter when he followed Jax’s death with a final flash of the Sons of Anarchy logo and a quote from the play itself. The question that remains is how could Jax possibly make a triumphant return after the series finale suggested he rode his bike headfirst into an oncoming semi-trailer.

While Jax’s body was never shown, and he may have faked his death, another option might be far more in keeping with the show’s Shakespearean roots. Sutter already expressed interest in a sequel series exploring Jax’s sons Abel and Thomas, with the boys learning more of their father via flashbacks or even ghostly visions would not be too far out of the question. Given that Rossi’s character Juice was also killed during Sons of Anarchy season 7, his own return would also lend more credibility to such a theory. Either way, speculations arise as to what Hunnam has planned for his new Sons of Anarchy spinoff.

Charlie Hunnam Has Another Sons Of Anarchy Spinoff Idea

While the cast has secretly been speaking about a Sons of Anarchy spinoff behind the scenes, Hunnam spoke about a totally different SAMCRO project back in 2022 (via Digital Fix). The actor revealed, "There’s something in that universe that doesn’t involve Jax Teller, but does involve me that we’re sort of cooking up... But right now, it’s like we’re at the stage where the ingredients are just being measured out, they’re not even being mixed out in the bowl yet, and they’re definitely not in the oven.” While the Sons of Anarchy spinoff seemingly doesn't involve Jax Teller, it could lead to something even bigger.

While Hunnam explained that the project was in the very early stages of development, that was over a year ago. Though the Hollywood strikes could have held back some progress, there must have been some significant headway with the Sons of Anarchy spinoff that Hunnam mentioned. Ultimately, while Mayans M.C. wrapped its final season, that doesn't mean the Sons of Anarchy universe is coming to an end. Based on the cast's comments, there are at least two different new Sons of Anarchy projects in the pipeline, even if the details are being kept close to the actors' chests.
