HBO executive has seemingly dashed hopes for future The Sopranos spin-offs.Last year, series creator David Chase was reported to have been in conversations about a new Sopranos-related series for HBO Max. Those reports emerged after Chase signed a five-year, first-look deal with the streaming platform in October.Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, HBO and HBO Max’s chief content officer, Casey Bloys, has now said that Chase isn’t interested in returning to the franchise – explaining that a recent Super Bowl commercial which recreated the opening credits wasn’t a tease.Asked if he’d been shown anything about a Sopranos prequel series, Bloys said: “You’re asking the question as if there is one in existence.
I don’t think David has any interest in revisiting The Sopranos. And I would agree with him.
It’s a perfect series that I don’t think needs revisiting.“But we’ll see what he wants to do next. If your question is about if the Super Bowl ad is some sort of precursor or anything like that, I don’t think so.”Asked if there’s anything more to come from The Sopranos or its film prequel The Many Saints Of Newark, Bloys said: “Series-wise, not that I’m talking to David about.
I don’t know where they left off, whether there were going to be more movies or what, so to your larger question about a Sopranos series, there’s nothing there. And with The Many Saints, there hadn’t been any conversations about it.” The Sopranos spanned six seasons between January 1999 and June 2007.

For years, HBO has been the gold standard as far as prestige TV series goes. The network has won dozens of awards, and TV fans are basically under the assumption that every new show on HBO warrants a watch because it’s probably really great.
Just as Discovery’s acquisition of WarnerMedia is entering the final stretch, HBO/HBO Max is living up to its status as one of the most prized assets in the proposed deal.

gotten whacked by show creator David Chase, one HBO executive said.HBO and HBO Max Chief Content Officer Casey Bloys spoke to Deadline about the future of the “Sopranos” universe, which is sure to bum out fans from the Garden State all the way down to Boca Raton.“I don’t think David has any interest in doing anything more with ‘The Sopranos.’ ‘The Sopranos’ is a terrific and classic show. I don’t think there’s any reason to open that back up,” Bloys said.“I really don’t know what he’s thinking but one thing I can say is I just don’t think anything with ‘The Sopranos’ family is on the cards.”For months fans hoped that Chase — who inked a five-year production deal with HBO’s parent company WarnerMedia in October — was signing on to expand on the show as a follow-up to the luke-warm received “Many Saints of Newark.” The prequel film starred Alessandro Nivola as “Dickie” Moltisanti, Jon Bernthal as “Johnny Boy” Soprano and James Gandolfini’s son Michael as a high school-aged Tony Soprano.

Last year, we saw the premiere of “The Many Saints of Newark,” the first spinoff project based in the world of “The Sopranos.” While the idea of the film was met with excitement from fans when it was announced, the film wasn’t very well received by critics and it seemed like fans were mixed with their feelings. All that to say, ‘Many Saints’ seems like a classic case of “be careful what you wish for.” Now, according to the head of HBO, it doesn’t seem like there’s any interest in bringing back “The Sopranos” in any sort of sequel/prequel.
