Charlie Hunnam and the core cast of Sons of Anarchy are reuniting more than a decade after the hit crime drama ended, according to reports from E! News. The actors, including Hunnam, Katey Sagal, and Ron Perlman, will star in a new series titled Legends, where they will play fictionalized versions of themselves rather than their original characters from the fictional motorcycle club SAMCRO.
The Premise of Legends and Cast Return
According to E! News, Legends centers on a reunion of the original cast at a fan convention. As the gathering unfolds, the boundary between reality and fiction dissolves when the actors encounter a threat far more dangerous than anything their characters faced during the seven-season run of Sons of Anarchy. The original series concluded in 2014.
The returning ensemble features Charlie Hunnam, who starred as Jax Teller; Katey Sagal, who played Gemma Teller Morrow; Ron Perlman, who portrayed Clay Morrow; Maggie Siff as Tara Knowles; Tommy Flanagan as Chibs Telford; Kim Coates as Tig Trager; and Theo Rossi as Juan Carlos “Juice” Ortiz. Notably, series creator Kurt Sutter is not involved in the project, according to a press release cited by E! News. The original concept for the new show came from Hunnam himself.
Charlie Hunnam on the Legacy of Sons of Anarchy
For Charlie Hunnam, who appeared at the Annual Actor Awards in Los Angeles in March, the role of Jax Teller remains a defining milestone in his career. According to an interview with People in 2020, the actor acknowledged the profound impact of the show, stating simply, “Ærlig talt, den ga meg en karriere” (Honestly, it gave me a career).
Since the conclusion of Sons of Anarchy, Hunnam has taken on diverse television and film projects. Most recently, he starred as the notorious 1950s American murderer and grave robber Ed Gein in the Netflix anthology series Monster: The Ed Gein Story, showcasing a dramatic shift away from his days as a rebellious biker club president.
