Sons of Anarchy had a successful seven season run on FX followed up by the spinoff series Mayans MC. But that was not the only project that creator Kurt Sutter had planned for his TV universe. Before Sons of Anarchy came to an end Sutter was in talks to produce a limited prequel series called The First 9. But after the Disney Fox merger all of those prequel plans fell apart.Sons of Anarchy introduced viewers to Jax Teller Charlie Hunnam the VP of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original aka SAMCRO in Charming California.
The events of that first season begin when Jax finds a manifesto written by one of SAMCROs founding members his late father John Teller. In the manifesto John shared his plans and visions for the club. Which were very different from what the current president at the time Jaxs stepfather Clay Morrow Ron Perlman had in mind. Inspired by his fathers words Jax goes on a personal journey throughout the series where he questions his role in the club his relationships and his path in life. Fans are also given a few details about SAMCRO founding members as the show progresses. But Sutter wanted to tell the clubs origin story and show fans how it all began for the nine original members via a prequel titled The First 9.
Everything Kurt Sutter has said about The First 9
Back in 2014 Sutter revealed some details about The First 9 during a live chat with Nerdcore Movement. He said it was his idea to make a limited series about SAMCROs founding members. And he also wanted to release John Tellers manuscript titled The Life and Death of Sam Crow.As we started thinking more and more about this prequel on the First 9 at this point I am thinking more of a one off like a miniseries like maybe 10 episodes or two 8 episodes seasons. I felt like to put out that manuscript with his history before that aired was going to handcuff me too much Sutter said.
