Ive been very negligent about my blogging lately. Facebook and Twitter are so much easier. And more than often, dangerous. Me with an instant venting source is not a good thing. My passions tend to get me in hot water. I recently Twittered about losing an editor to Frank Darabont and basically called Frank a cunt. Although the move was a shitty one (poaching staff), it probably didn't help my career any lashing out at Mr. Shawshank. Add another amends to the list.
Anyway, season three is shaping up, the premier is written and I'm finishing up a draft of 302 this weekend. We begin production in five weeks and I hope to have two more scripts done by the time we start. I've met with all the actors and everyone is eager to get back to work.
You may have read in the trades this week that we signed on Kenny Johnson for six episodes. I'm really excited about working with KJ again. We established his character, Kozik, in episode 212 last season. He's a Tacoma-based Son who has a history with Tig and the Redwood Originals. We are in the process of making deals with four other guest stars. Some returning, some new. I will keep folks posted.
I really appreciate the fan response on this blog, Facebook and Twitter. People are seriously invested in SOA. They have a lot of opinions, thoughts, desires and rants. I love it. Means we're doing something right. Keep it coming.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 282 of 282Can't wait for season 3. Best show on TV!
This is the greatest show ever. I thought the Sopranos an 24 was the best til I saw this show. It gets better every episode. Please put more than 13 episodes in 1 season thou. We need 24 episodes and maybe if it doesnt kill the show a full length movie.
Keep it ripping.
SOA rocks!!!! This is by far the best show EVER!!!! I have all the episodes on my DVR, plus the box set. When is season two coming out in box set, or is it already? I haven't seen it anywhere. Ya guys and gals are the BESTEST!!!! Keep the excitement coming!!!
I just shared this lengthy anecdote and wanted to preview it which somehow erased my again lengthy comment, but fans of SAMCRO are the only friends I have so I'll tell it again.
About 3-4 years ago my sister and I went out in Silver Lake (east of Hollywood for those LA-unfamiliars) to a bar eponymously called 4100 which also happens to be uncoincidentally the bar's numerical postal designation. I was living in LA at the time and had been desensitized to brush encounters with celebrities, so when my sister Kacie and I entered the bar a familiar yet peculiar face caught my eye. It was Ron Perlman. HOWEVER, I leaned in, pointed Ron out to my sister and went on to explain who he was. "That's Tom Waits," I said. My sister had never heard of him. I wasn't/am not a Waits-fan so I dismissed the recognition.
Half a pint of Stella later and a few bodies closer I realized my mistake. Now I was excited. I told Kacie that I was wrong, that the man I said was Tom Waits was actually Ron Perlman. Same blank face from Kacie. So I said one word and the penny dropped: "Hellboy." Now she was excited. So we made our way towards Ron and his friend (I want to say David Something?) and my sister, being fetching, caught Ron &co. attention and we two pairs--Ron, friend, myself, and Kacie--became a foursome for the remainder of the night.
Ron was hands down cool. Approachable, accessable, great listener. I remember discussing "genius" vs. "brilliance" with him--my topic of choice which he fully engaged in and he said he honed his craft by studying Brando which was a refreshing insight that success happens as well for the unconventional student as it does for the parochial variety. Ron and friend bought two rounds of drinks for my sister and me so in return I was going to purchase the third when I was informed that last call had been announced some time before. Dismayed I turned to Ron apologizing. His reply: "You can 'em next time." That exchange right there is one of the top five feel good moments in my life.
One more thing. I admitted to Ron that I thought he was Waits earlier. He said that happens a lot. Then he mused, "I wonder if Waits is ever mistaken for me." It doesn't present as philosophical but sure as hell struck me like "Cogito ergo sum".
So to Ron: Kyle and Kacie Miller remember and appreciate his generosity and look forward to a time when we can repay the favor. Looking forward to Season 3 of SAMCRO.
Respectfully,
Kyle Miller
I love the show and have watched it from day one. Being a pretty hardcore biker myself and having been in a pretty serious accident recently when i hit a lady at 50mph who made a left in front of me back in November the show helped me through some rough days in the hospital. thanks for that and i hope to be back riding by the time season 3 releases....
I love, love, love this show! I hope it goes on for many seasons!
LOVE the show!!! As one of the 99percenters, it's interesting to see life of the other side. Keep up the great work! I just hope this show doesn't get killed like so many other good ones have just to put on more reality bullstuff.
This is a show worth tweaking over. I loved it from day one and it just gets better, restoring faith in good television. Happy St. Paddy's to you and yours and cheers for the upcoming season!
You do a fantastic job and hope you will continue. SOA is an amazing show and its pretty obvious it is indeed enjoyed by many. Keep up the good work my friend;)
Best show on television. Period.
i think SOA IS a very interesting show that shows what bikers can and can be. being a family memeber of a person who is in a club, i see different things that the show portrays. I hope that there is a way to meet the staff and crew, like at a signing. Good job in what you do. thank you for making this series.
You mentioned amends in your blog. Are you a friend of Bill W? Anyway, when are you going to address what happened to Jax' wife? Or what ever happened to the prospect's girl? Last, are you casting extras? Would love to be a part of SOA!!!
Thanks for the update. Looking forward to all the twists and turns that Season 3 will bring! Any chance we'll ever see Jesse James of West Coast Choppers fame take on some sort of role on the show? He seems like he'd be a great addition.
you and your crew are the shit! and i think that sums it up. Thanks for such loveable T.V.!

I am so excited for seson three PLEASE HURRY i cant wait any longer !!!!
Who would have thought that a conservative, middle-aged white woman would LOVE this show? and I do! Having fun sharing it with my friends, and am having serious withdrawals. Keep up the great work.
Can I get season 2 on dvd?
Keep em coming! we Brits love SOA.
keep on bringin' it Kurt!
SOA is one of the best shows ive seen recently and i'm glad it's going on for another season! Keep up the good work guys!
I know a lot of people have been praising you and the show and rightly so, the show is amazing, but let me take you out of the element for a moment, pay you a compliment you can wrap your head around, SOA is just another tv show, like Pulp Fiction was just another movie, you know you got something magical, keep it coming, much love and respect, Mike in chicago
best show since, uhhhmm.... oh wait! i can't think of anything!!!
Soooo patiently waiting....
I love this show. I cannot wait for season 3. the only thing I can say is that I wish there weren't such long breaks between seasons but it's well worth the wait.

A couple actors I think would be good on SOA are: Josh Brolin, William Dafoe, & Gary Busey. Just throwing some ideas at ya Kurt. :)
Really Can't wait for Season 3. It seems so long. I'm in UK so have to wait even longer then in the US. But it has me gripped so much. It reminds me a bit of the HA and watch SOA its like having them close to my heart, like I can really relate to them. I hope you write many more seasons. Your truly a great writter as you make it so true to life.
Thank you.
It's so awesome you're on the front line, talking to us and letting us know how things are going.
We're all pacing the floor with anticipation at what the next season will bring.
I'm off to Belfast in 2 weeks if you need anything from Ireland, let me know!
Keep up the good work. Best show on tv. Katey is my hero!
so excited for season three to start! i love sons of anarchy!! feels like i've been waiting forever to see the premiere of season 3.. the finale left me wanting more!
jax is amazing<3 charlie hunnam is spectacular!
LEM!!!! YES!!! Good to see KJ back on Sons. Sooo looking forward to the new season. Thank you for making quality television and putting together such an excellent cast. They are all truly truly gifted individuals.
Great job Kurt,
How many episodes are there going to be in season 3? Please tell me it isn't going to be a short season like season 2.
With the VET link to SAO have you thought about a KIA funeral in town that brings in a bunch of diverse bikers to Charming when the family requests the presents of a Fictional/Nonfictional Group like the PGR? This could throw a monkey wrench in to the works as the solemn nature of a military furneral with TV cameras present. Who know there might be an eger report trying to make a name for themself when they see or hear something they shouldn't. Who know it might even backfire on someone unexpected, you know like Stahls.
With the nature of a group like the PGR it might even bring in some honored enemies to the mix. Like an excop that is still looking for some payback, or an Old war vet buddies thinking someone owes them something.
Ever thought about a contest to give a chance to some lucky fans as an extra or a bit part on the show?

The best show I have ever seen....Ive watched every episode at least 3 times...I cant get enough....My whole family and all of our friends watch it too....Always the topic of our conversation the next day....LOVE IT AND KEEP IT COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE SOA. I would love to see some episodes with chuck Zito or some of the old OZ cast.
Thanks for the series I was tiring of TV and those damn reality shows.
I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS SHOW TO START AGAIN!!!! I lived for it!!!
Thanks for the update! Keeps the jones for season 3 at bay. Don't worry about not posting - just keep up your brilliant writing. Good to see Kenny Johnson again. After The Shield, SOA is about the only show that's on par, and it actually excels. Thanks for keeping TV interesting!!
i truly enjoy your posting choice, very remarkable,
don't give up and keep posting in all honesty , because it simply truly worth to read it,
excited to see more of your current content, have a good one ;)
Me with an instant venting source is not a good thing. My passions tend to get me in hot water.
Bwahaahaha! I KNOW that feeling.
Great show, keep up the good work!
I think we need a buddy chest slam...keep it sane
I really love the show and can't wait for the new season to begin. It's the best show on TV!!!!!
We need season 3 right now. All these other television shows have about 20 million seasons and episodes but the best tv show ever only has 2 seasons. All is good. You can't rush this master piece. Pretty stoked for season 3. Keep up the great work.
i love the show. iwish you would print the john teller book that jax reads.saddest thing i ever saw was end of season 2, i cried so much as able was taken.

I have never been so enmeshed in a in a show (big screen or small) as I am this one. Thank you for making it so rightous. <3
this is the best show ever, can't wait for season 3!
Otto, hope you get out soon man. Shame about your old lady, get that sweaty pig who offed her, dog!
Just heard all about your story over here in the UK, respect to Jax and the MC Sons.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 3 TO START THIS SHOW KICKS ASS
I am not a biker chick at all but your show is the bomb. I love everyone and everything about it. Its great to see season 3 coming. I CANNOT WAIT. Keep up the great job you and everybody else is doing to provide an excellent show for everybody.
HELL yes! One of the best shows on TV is coming back...THANKS so much for that!! I really look forward to Sunny, Rescue Me and SOA...miss the Shield tremendously!! But loves me some FX...lotta great shows guys.
I think your show is Great. What I like the best is your interest in your fans.You keep us up to date personally.That shows people you believe in what you are doing & appreciate your fans of the show. Ive rode with 1%'s among others and when I first watched the show it hit home. For once some one actually didnt dramatize this life style. You show what its like not what people "think" its like. Keep up the good work, looking foward to the next season. Thanks for a show worth watching...!
Can't wait for season three. I love that Jax , He is so hot but his style and demeanor is something fierce . I commend the writers cause everyone plays their parts and work so well together everyone compliments each other and when one is lost ouch it really hurts.
how is it that this show was not nominated for any awars this year? Katy Segal was amazing!!!
Hi, My Name is Rodman From Poland. SOA inspired me as I started to watch the first season the same time I bacame a rider, and just wanted to say thanks, beacouse The series inspired me to start our own MC with bunch of frends. The show is great, I I'm a filmaker so I look at movies diferently. Congrats on building your characters. I wasn't into series but after SOA I am:) Never thought I could cry watching a movie, and still when Donna got shot I was cryin like a baby at 4AM:) All the best and keep it up
my daughters and I are huge fans of SOA. We can't wait till season 3 and we know that this season is going to be on fire. Hope Jax gets his baby back!!! Jema needs to come back and kick ass!
I just wanted to say that this show is beyond amazing. The cast that was put together for this show couldn't be any better. It is the first show in a long time that I count down the days until the next episode. I find it nerve racking that there is only one season every year but it is well worth the wait. I have always been a bike lover but life has not seen it as my time to own one. The day will come when I will have a ride of my own and I hope to find a club/brotherhood that is anything like SAMCRO. Keep up the awesome work and hope there is a possibility for the show to become the longest running series of all time.
My husband & I both LOVE SOA! We caught it late in the first season & were hooked! We had to rent the entire season & catch up. But it was worth it. Awesome show!There are very few shows my husband and I watch together. Cant wait for season 3!
Like all the others that have wrote I am itching to start season 3 and I hope I signed up for updates so I miss nothing.
date: Time:
One of the best shows on TV and I am addicted to it.
My hubby and me never miss a show and we own season 1 & 2. woo hoo!
Keep up keeping on. It is awesome and we just love 'em all.
Great story, super great actors,
it is all good!
Bring it on Bro.
We'll be waiting
Thanks & Blessing

I can't wait for Season 3 to begin... I'm 33 years old and this is the only show in my entire life that I've actually never missed an episode of... I'm completely drawn into the show and characters... AWESOME SHOW! I can't say it enough.
Hi there I jsut wanted to say that your show is quite an experience. Me and my man started watching it and now set event timers and workl around watching it. We are watching the season 2 on super chanel (but only have those as a preview, and we our cancelling opnce the seasons done)Tho Ive already looked it up on how to purchase season 1 and 2. I find this show riveting and with each episode ending I want to see more lol. There was one episode I thought "oh so no surprize ending? thats funny then 5 minutes before its over Im balling (lol when gemma admits to what happened) I jsut wanted to say thanks for sharing your vision. And keep up the amazing show please. This is better then the sopranos or any other.Cant wait to see what happens at the end of this season and what season 3 has in store!!
Wish you the best on all your projects, to your future films
honestly I cant explain what I felt watching the last 2 episodes of season 2, I mean I loved the whole season, but it was just so raw and tense
the scene with Gemma, Polly and Stahl, the whole sequence starting with stahl killing Eddie, was crazy,
I got the kind of nervous feeling id get from watching the shield,
thanks for sharing your thoughts and updates with your fans,I respect that,
I absolutely cannot wait for Season 3 of SOA. This has been my favorite show since it's premiere. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see what the future rides into town. I got to say tho.....there needs to be more episodes......it's NEVER enough. You keep us wanting more after each & every episode.
i can't wait til the new season starts! love the show so much!
I'm a french addict of SoA. At first, I didn't think I would like the serie that much. But that's really a different type of life, I didn't know about. I'm not saying that I'm watching SoA thinking I could actually learn something or taking notes & give lessons or something ^^ ! No, I'm really enjoying the show. You shall be a little bit twisted to have all these amazing ideas :P ! Which you make you unique I guess :D !
Well, I just can say, congrat's ! And keep going, I can't wait to see the third season.
For what it worths I really am impressed by your job.
Sorry if there are mistakes, like I said : french girl.
=D
Lou.

don't kill off Half Sack i think he deserved to get his patch
I really love this show...It was a real pain when they moved it to 10pm on Tuesdays. Used to watch it on Friday nights which was good cause staying up and getting all worked up watching the show on a Tuesday night meant no sleep for me! Finally invested in DVR and now it's all good. Keep up the good work, can't wait for the new season:)
Aaaaahhhhhh! I could kiss you a thousand times for bringing Kenny Johnson back! A thousand times. You are a wonderful man.
This show is such an original and a truly awesome show. I have had custom sweaters with SOA logo's on them, they get a lot of attention! This show is so exciting. The cast is awesome. I recently became a rider myself because the show inspired me to get a bike and a license. Cannot wait for season 3. Hope it's as kick ass as the last two.
I absolutely loved it when I saw you talking to your fans. We are there for you....through thick and thin. We have your back, forever and always. Please talk to us. I poured my heart out on a post a few days ago.....nothin but crickets!!!! We are your adoring fans. No worries.....we know you are busy and we will wait!!!! Just bring on season 3 of the masterpiece that you have created and occassionally may answer us back :) I know I am not going anwhere. hugs and kisses......kat
OMG SEPTEMBER, I am JONESIN for some SOA! Sue
I AM INFACTUATED W/ THE SOA YOU COULDNT HAVE DONE ANYTHING BETTER OR DIFFERENT WRITING AND OR ACTING IT OUT!! I ALREADY HAVE 1rst AND 2nd SEASON I GET EM THE SECOND I SEE THEM TO BUY!! CANT WAIT FOR THE 3rd SEASON AND MAYBE MORE HUH!!! THANKS FOR GETTING SOMETHING OUT THERE GREAT KEEP IT UP!!!
Hey, my name is Oli and im from Australia!! im glad to say i have austar (pay TV) because otherwise i would be very unfortunate to have never been introduced to your show! It is an interesting portrayal giving an understanding of the lifestyle a bike club lead, i like that you have created a willingness to connect to the characters. Showing them as human beings like any disfunctional family with their oputlaw streak intact! i love that you keep the suspence every episode! I literally watch the repeat of every episode each week. Great creative writting, i can't wait until free to air people get a taste of it down under it will be a hit!
Your cast are awesome especially Jax and Opie!
Keep the episodes coming! LOooove it!!
Myself and my husband have been jonesin' for the new season to start. I began watching and after the first season was over my husband took my prodding and listened to me, he watched from the DVR, he was hooked like a bass attacking a spinner bait in fishing terms. Thanks for the great acting and the intelligent writing that is believable with great characters. It reminds me of the great caliber of actors from the 70's when I was a kid like Ernest Borgnine, Lorene Green, Robert Mitchum, James Arness. Great company, Lisa Oaks
Patch Half Sack!!!!!
This is a message for Mr. K.S.
The Future called and they want their Ratings back, it seems you have gobbled up all the ratings from now until infinity. ..
But seriously, this SoA Show is Top Class # 1 Quality Kick-Ass stuff, more emotions and storyline than any Feature-Film i have ever seen. In general there are lots of Good Cable series out there which rock !. Here my favourites list in order of Greatness:
1 - Sons of Anarchy
2 - Breaking Bad
3 - Mad Men
4 - Luther (UK TV Series)
5 - Wallander (SWE TV Series)
6 - Lie to Me
7 - Level9
I can't wait for season 3 to start. Especially with what happened to Abel, and i am glad Kenny Johnson will be back his character seems interesting especially the drama with Tig. Thank You Kurt Sutter for creating this show.
Hello, I love your show alot, I so can't wait till it's back on fx. That's one show I get to watch and enjoy with my Mother, her and I really enjoy the twists and turns throughout the whole series, it keeps getting better, keep up the great work. Please don't take the show away, or cancel it, alot of people LOVE it. Thank You, J.R.S. Vancouver, Wa.
