Sons of Anarchy Spinoff: Creator Kurt Sutter Explains No Involvement

Indeed, Sutter pointed out that the project is a meta thriller in which the original Sons of Anarchy cast—including his wife Katey Sagal—will portray fictionalized versions of themselves attending a fan convention. From there, the plot will spiral into a series of unfortunate events as dangerous as what once happened to their characters on TV.

“I just want folks to know that Charlie came to me when he was in the process of pitching this to the network to ask for my blessing,” Sutter continued, “knowing that the IP would probably not be able to be invoked for various reasons of legalese stuff.” 

As such, there’s no bad blood between Sutter and his former set partner—who introduced Groff into the family as an executive producer—or the executives behind the sequel, including FX Networks chairman John Landgraf. 

“I gave Charlie my full blessing. I wish nothing but the best for him in this project,” the writer shared. “My wife is in the project. I have nothing but love for John Landgraf and the folks at FX who have been so good to me, so generous. So it has my full-blown ‘Watch this motherf–ker.'”
