The Many Saints of Newark, one of the most hyped and anticipated movies this fall, may get a sequel. Only Quasimodo could have predicted this development.

The scoop comes directly from the movie’s director, Alan Taylor, who also directed multiple episodes of the TV series. In an interview with THR, Taylor revealed that The Sopranos creator David Chase teased about, possibly, more content for the crime drama universe.

“David said something that sounded like he was talking about [making more content],” Taylor, an allegorical guy, comments on his conversation with Chase. “I said, ‘Wait wait, are you talking about a sequel?’ And he said, ‘Maybe.’”

New content for The Sopranos universe? Over here!

Be it in the form of another movie or another TV series, with or without Czechoslovakian interior decorators, such content would be consumed like maple walnut ice cream by Sopranos fans who have been starving and left wanting after the series’ fade-to-black, open-ended conclusion – whatever happened there. David Chase had to give multiple interviews explaining the ending scene of the final episode to appease fans who followed the multi-awarded series.

Given that the possible new content is mentioned as a sequel to The Many Saints of Newark, its timeline should be closer to the start of the series, which first aired in January 1999 and was concluded in 2007 after six seasons.

While details on David Chase’s teased new content have yet to surface, younger versions of familiar characters such as the come-from-behind-guy Vito and other members of the glorified crew from Jersey can hopefully make an appearance along with a younger Phil Leotardo eating grilled cheese off the radiator. The guy deserves it for the 20 something years he did in the can.
