Charlie Hunnam is the driving force behind a ‘Sons of Anarchy’ meta series.
‘Legends’ will reunite the actor with his ‘Anarchy’ co-stars.
Everyone will be playing themselves.
After ‘Sons of Anarchy’ roared off on its televisual motorcycle back in 2014, fans largely had to make do with spin-off ‘Mayans M.C.’
Now, though, more than a decade after the parent show ended, star Charlie Hunnam has hit upon a ‘Galaxy Quest’-style idea to reunite some of the ‘Anarchy’ cast for a new limited series that has serious meta flavor.

Co-created by Hunnam and Jonathan Groff (the writer, not the actor), ‘Legends’ sees the cast of ‘Sons of Anarchy’ reuniting 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.
‘Legends’: the FX Network talks
Here’s Nick Grad, FX Entertainment President, talking up the new show:
“When Charlie brought us this inspired idea, we instantly sparked to his bold and entertaining vision. 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.”
