It’s been nearly 17 years since fans were first introduced to the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original in Sons of Anarchy, which premiered on FX on Sept. 3, 2008.
Created by Kurt Sutter, the action crime drama series follows the close-knit motorcycle club in a fictional California town as they navigate power dynamics, betrayal, brotherhood, and redemption.
The story follows Charlie Hunnam’s Jax Teller and his band of brothers, as he butts heads with his stepfather, Clay Morrow, the man who stepped in to lead the club after Teller’s biological father’s death. The show, which became FX’s highest-rated series during its run, ended after seven seasons on Dec. 9, 2014.
The spin-off series, Mayans M.C., aired from 2018 to 2023. Here’s everything to know about where the cast of Sons of Anarchy is now.
