For the past six seasons, "Sons of Anarchy" has delivered shocking twists, turns and drama since 2008. This year, season 7 marks the final season of the show, which leaves fans wondering how the season 7 will actually go and end.
The season 6 finale was brutal. Gemma put a carving knife on Tara's skull, which was a horrific event. Will season 7 end on a brutal note too? Kurt Sutter answers the question himself directly. In an interview with TV Guide, he won't be able to top that moment and he doesn't want to as well.
When asked about the violent content of the show, he answered, "I don't think anything we've ever done has been inorganic [or] unbelievable in terms of heightened circumstances and the players involved."
He continued, "It's not that my goal is to disturb people, but I want that reaction when beloved characters go away. I want people to be upset. When Opie was killed, people [expletive] hated me. They didn't stop watching, but they were upset -- they had lost a friend.
"That to me means you're writing characters that are relatable, believable and people want to show up for each week. Which means, quite frankly, I'm doing my job."
Based on Sutter's answers, season 7 won't go down the path of the season 6 finale, but it will be brutal. So, what will season 7 be like? Sutter said, "The looser I grip that idea, the better the seasons are... This season isn't any different. I came in with how I wanted the season to end and we're heading in that direction, but things change. Always been headed in the same direction, but the way I'm getting there continuously changes."
While Sutter's answers are a bit vague, Charlie Hunnam gives his character a clearer description in season 7.
"Jax is in a very schizophrenic state," Hunnam told reporters. "He's obviously very sad and vulnerable and broken with this huge amount of revenge and anger in his heart."
It won't be a long wait to see how "Sons of Anarchy" will go out. Catch the season 7 premiere on September 8, Tuesday, at 10 p.m.
