A "First 9" prequel of FX's hit series "Sons of Anarchy" is something that creator and showrunner Kurt Sutter has talked about with the management. However, doing a prequel requires proper timing, he explained. Hence, he asked for fans to give them a couple of years with next year, 2016, the earliest, E! Online has learned.
At present, the network is busy with "The Bastard Executioner," but nevertheless, "Sons of Anarchy" prequel is never off the table, Sutter said. In fact, "it's something that we have interest in," Sutter told the news outlet.
"We are interested [Sons of Anarchy Prequel]. I think the timing of it really depends on what unfolds. I think for me, and the network, it's taking the next obvious and right choice and [The Bastard Executioner] is the energy we're moving in now," he said.
Sutter explained that it is hard to create something that is very much related to "Sons of Anarchy" when fans still have the hang of its finale.
"I didn't want to come right off of that and do a prequel or anything like that. I wanted to give it a couple years to breathe before we came back to do it. So none of that has gone away. We'll see how the next couple years or at least the next year with [The Bastard Executioner] unfolds and then we'll have to see," he said to E! Online.
If the timeline for "Sons of Anarchy" prequel is a year, at the very least, could Ana Paquin and Stephen Moyer be casted this time around? According to a report from Entertainment Weekly, the real-life couple had their chance to star in "Sons of Anarchy." However, their schedules forbid them to do so.
Moyer was set to play a pimp and Paquin as a whore. However, by the time that schedule was finalized, the couple had already booked their flight to New Zealand.
"We were trying to make it work. We were dead into it. The thing was, we agreed to have some time off after the end of 'True Blood,' and we had already arranged it. Anna paid for the flights to New Zealand, and it happened that these bits and pieces were shooting while we were in New Zealand, and she hadn't seen her family. We hadn't been down there for ages," Moyer told Entertainment Weekly in an exclusive interview.
"We just said we can't do it, but we were obsessed with Sons, and it was date night tele for us in that macabre and weird, strange way that "Sons of Anarchy' became," he said.
