Reunited and it feels so good! The Super Bowl is known for its buzzy commercials that star an array of celebrities, and this year, Chevrolet brought the OG Sopranos siblings back together.
As Chevy debuted their 2024 Silverado EV truck during the Sunday, February 13, championship game, they enlisted the former TV family to show off its “New Generation” of trucks.

As she drove through down the iconic neighborhood, she met up with Robert Iler, who played her TV brother, A.J.

She continued: “It’s about a new generation, which Meadow and A.J. represent. I thought it was a brilliant idea. And then when they told me David Chase was onboard and Phil Abraham was going to be [the cinematographer], it was so special. It was a dream to do. I had chills the entire time.”
After playing Meadow for 10 years before the show’s June 2007 series finale, Sigler was wary about returning to Meadow’s shoes for the one-minute ad spot.
“I always wondered what it would be like, where she is in her life.
