It’s been a few years since Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter first announced The Abandons, but the Western series has finally started shooting. Netflix announced the start of production of the first season of The Abandons in Calgary, with an official cast photo seen above.
The official logline for The Abandons reads: “As a group of diverse, outlier families pursue their Manifest Destiny in 1850s Oregon, a corrupt force of wealth and power, coveting their land, tries to force them out. These abandoned souls, the kind of lost souls living on the fringe of society, unite their tribes to form a family and fight back. In this bloody process, ‘justice’ is stretched beyond the boundaries of the law. The Abandons will explore that fine line between survival and law, the consequences of violence, and the corrosive power of secrets, as this family fights to keep their land.“

Today, Netflix announced the start of production in Calgary on Season 1 of The Abandons, a pulse-pounding action drama set in the West by Kurt Sutter via his SutterInk banner.
“I am fascinated by the metamorphosis of good into evil. What must transpire to drive the morally sound to become the dangerously corrupt,” said Sutter. “The Abandons explores those complex compromises through the most powerful human instinct — the love and protection of mothers.”

Instead of killing Juice for his betrayal, Jax decided to give him a mission to test his loyality to the brotherhood. Jax tells him to get himself arrested by shooting at the tires of cop cars. Once he’s inside, he’s to kill Lin (Kenneth Choi). Unbeknownst to Juice, Jax has a back-up plan in the form of Ron Tully (Marilyn Manson) should he fail.

We got a look behind the scenes of Sons of Anarchy upcoming fifth season earlier this week from the vantage of Chucky (Michael Ornstein) and Gemma (Katey Sagal), and now another Sons of Anarchy duo is next up in this Before the Anarchy video sent to us by FX. Current fans already know about Dayton Callie’s (who I loved in Deadwood) Wayne Unser, whose been with the show almost since the beginning (the second episode), but this tease offers us a look at one of the new faces Samcro is going to have to deal with, one Damon Pope.
Harold Perrineau, who most people know from Lost, signed on to Sons of Anarchy last May to portray Pope, an ex-drug kingpin in Oakland. What’s Pope’s angle with Samcro? Remember Laroy’s girl who got hit in Tig’s hit and run intended for Laroy? That was Damon Pope’s daughter,...

FX sent over this new featurette made to prep us for the upcoming 5th season of Sons of Anarchy. Titled “Before the Anarchy: “Chucky and Gemma” it, as you’d expect, features Michael Ornstein and Katey Sagal (whose Gemma was also central to a recent season 5 teaser) talking about the paths of their characters for the upcoming season. Some of the major changes I think are rather plainly, and effectively, illustrated in the poster above that was released earlier this month, perfectly illustrating the Samcro reality as it stands now.
You already know both Gemma Chucky, but Sons of Anarchy does have some new players lined up for us next season, including Chuck Zito, Wanda de Jesus, and Ashley Tisdale (who we’ve already seen pics of in the mix and drama), and a very cool story involving new Samcro member, Greg the Peg.

Executive producer Kurt Sutter was joined on stage by his wife (and star) Katey Sagal plus Theo Rossi, Tommy Flanagan, Dayton Callie, David Labrava and Michael Ornstein for a conversation moderated by Stuart Levine of Variety. Between stories about Perlman's lack of motorcycle prowess and working with Tom Arnold and David Hasselhoff, the gang spilled a few hints about season five. Starting off about a month after season four's explosive finale, Jax and Tara will be front and center as they figure out how to operate within their new roles as president of Samcro and old lady.

For those of us unable to attend this year's PaleyFest on the holy grounds of the Saban Theatre, it was a torture to sit at home when the Sons Of Anarchy panel was supposed to be live streamed, and stare at a blank screen with an occasional "We are experiencing technical difficulties" message popping up. A collective online gasp went through the fiber-optic cables and Dsl modems when Sons Of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter's frozen head suddenly started to talk. Also in attendance were Katey Sagal, Theo Rossi, Tommy Flanagan, Dayton Callie, David Labrava and Michael Ornstein.

If you asked me what I’d consider to be a perfect episode of Sons Of Anarchy ‘Family Recipe’ was pretty much it. The episode was just as hilarious as it was tragic, with plenty of character driven moments as well as just the right amount of requisite action. Even if its been an arguably patchy season, the last few episodes have been a definite confidence boost.
Having said that, watching Piney (William Lucking) being brutally slain by Clay (Ron Perlman) at the end of the episode was quite a sucker punch. He’s not only been one of the few characters this season who we’ve been able to sympathise with, but Piney has always been one of my favourites of the crew – thanks to his almost fatherly relationship with Jax (Charlie Hunnam) and his dedication to the old-morals of the club.

After the sheer intensity of last weeks opening episode, it was a relief that things were a little bit quieter this week. Well, as quiet as Sons of Anarchy can be. It still featured the usual macho action, brutal torture and murderous Ira priests. Actually that last one is new, but the introduction of Father Ashby (James Cosmo) certainly fits well into the show.
His introduction in the opening of the episode, led the way for more scenes in Belfast, with Jax’s (Charlie Hunnam) son Abel now in the hands of Cameron’s (Jamie Mcshane) cousin, Maureen. We discover that Father Ashby, has close ties with both the Ira and Samcro, and is disappointed with Cameron’s handling of the situation. After the Ira are informed that Agent Stahl (Ally Walker) and the Atf are responsible for Edmond’s murder, Ashby marks Cameron to be executed.

Actually that last one is new, but the introduction of Father Ashby (James Cosmo) certainly fits well into the show.
His introduction in the opening of the episode, led the way for more scenes in Belfast, with Jax’s (Charlie Hunnam) son Abel now in the hands of Cameron’s (Jamie Mcshane) cousin, Maureen. We discover that Father Ashby, has close ties with both the Ira and Samcro, and is disappointed with Cameron’s handling of the situation. After the Ira are informed that Agent Stahl (Ally Walker) and the Atf are responsible for Edmond’s murder, Ashby marks Cameron to be executed.
