Charlie Hunnam Gets ‘Sons Of Anarchy’ Gang Back Together For FX Meta-Series ‘Legends’

Emmy nominee Charlie Hunnam (Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Sons of Anarchy) is putting the M.C. back together—sort of–for an all-new limited series.

FX has ordered Legends, a meta-thriller developed and executive produced by Hunnam, who will also star, and Jonathan Groff (Happy Endings, This Fool). Ron Perlman, Katey Sagal, Maggie Siff, Mark Boone Junior, Tommy Flanagan, Kim Coates and Theo Rossi join Hunnam on this new adventure. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.

On Legends, when the cast of Sons of Anarchy (who will all play themselves) reunites at a fan convention after more than a decade, the line between life and art blurs as the fractured brotherhood finds itself up against a real-world threat more dangerous than anything they ever faced in their show.

The project has been in development with Hunnam for at least three years at FX, before Groff joined the project more recently.

Sons of Anarchy, created by Kurt Sutter, ran for 7 seasons on FX, with the series concluding in 2014. In the 12 years since, many of the original cast reconnect for fan conventions on a pretty regular basis. Sutter is not credited as being involved in the new show Legends.

The greenlight arrives following Hunnam’s rave reviews in the FX crime-drama series Monster: The Ed Gein Story, portraying the titular suspected serial killer. For his work, he received his first Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.

“When Charlie brought us this inspired idea, we instantly sparked to his bold and entertaining vision,” said Nick Grad, FX Entertainment President. “Charlie’s talents are on full display as a writer, performer and executive producer, leading the real-life brotherhood on an adventure that is both a love letter to the series and a fun meta twist on what fans think they know.”

FX’s Legends is developed and executive produced by Hunnam and Jonathan Groff, with Rob Mac, Nicholas Frenkel and Jackie Cohn also serving as executive producers. The series will be produced by FX Productions and 20th Television and will be available to watch on FX and Hulu.
