David Chase's The Many Saints Of Newark follow-up might be a new Sopranos series at HBO
HBO is looking to expand on The Sopranos universe despite Many Saints' box office performance

In this day and age, once-successful television and film franchises can never be left alone—and HBO is determined to ensure its iconic The Sopranos never dies, even if it means curb stomping its legacy.
Despite The Many Saints Of Newark’s dismal box office performance (it had a $4.6 million opening) and generally being panned by critics and longtime Sopranos fans, HBO apparently ended up getting what it wanted anyway. The film led to more streaming of the original series, giving it a “new life” over 20 years after its premiere.
“We’re thrilled with the results of Many Saints,” Warner Bros. CEO Ann Sarnoff tells Deadline. “Yes, the box office was not quite as big, but back again to the demographics of who’s going to theaters. On the other hand, you see Sopranos pop into the top 10 of the most viewed series on the service. It’s given it an entirely new life.”
Thanks to the boost from the Tony Soprano origin story, what was originally planned as a sequel to the prequel now may become an entire series.
