Well then Sir they do not own you or your creativity, so they can't do First Nine either without your writing, cause here is one that will not watch. Only YOU can do the other stories of First 9 and anything to do with Abel and Thomas.

"As of now, the possibility of doing that doesn't look that hopeful," he said at the time. "It's their property. They're not going to let me take it somewhere else. Right now, that relationship is in flux. With time and a shift in attitude, will we be able to do it? I don't know. Hopefully. Maybe."

"As for how far it got, here's what I knew I wanted to do," Sutter continued, sharing some details. "I knew it wasn't a long series, that I wanted to do a limited series. Ideally, it was nine [or] ten episodes."

"To do four movies basically and tell a story that starts in Vietnam with John Teller and Piney and taking it through the last of the first nine members of the club to show up — which was Clay," Sutter went on. "And then ending it there. I didn't want to f— with the mythology that we had laid down. I just wanted to tell the story with the loose pieces we already had.

What about a sequel with Abel & Thomas? If history repeats itself or if they fulfilled Jax’s wish to live a better life? I bet he still has the sons ring Gemma gave him? @sutterink #sutterthinks #sutterthinks

@sutterink Would’ve made for a great quarantine radio drama. Like the old days, you could’ve told us to drink our Ovaltine and followed the clues to get our very own SOA decoder ring. #sutterthinks

Sons of Anarchy is currently available to stream on Hulu.
