If you're asking about season 6 on HBO, it's still another year away. I don't think a firm date for airing is set, but if I remeber right, Spring '06 was the target.
UGH! I am going through Tony withdrawl! I watched the marathon that HBO 2 did about a month ago, and it was the first time in years I had watched the show. I got spoiled by the nightly fix. I want to go get the dvds to tide me over for a bit, but as expensive as they are I cant yet. I was going to wait for season 5 to hit so I could take advantage of most places doing bundle discounts like Best Buy, but with season 6 not starting for another year, Season 5 probably wont street until Christmas this year. UGH!
I need my Tony fix. Hopefully my tax refund will cover the first four seasons.
It appears that the next Soprano's season, whenever it begins, will include an additional 8 shows for a total of 20. Also, there is no verification that next season will be the last. I personally can't wait for season 6 to begin.
At least this way, the break will be a normal amount of time between episodes instead of 20 months
As much as I love the show, they should take these extra eight episodes and use them to wrap up the series and go out as one of the best TV series ever made.
Likely, yes. Just before Christmas, just before the last run of 8 starts up... seems pretty much a 'given' to expect...
I won't complain (though I'd hope for some GREAT extras on a release that had just 8 shows on it... a few thorough retrospective documentaries, deleted scenes and/or alternate takes, makings-of, gag reels... stuff absent or mostly absent from all prior releases tacked onto the final set... that would be nice). Just thrilled to be getting 20 more hours of The Sopranos.
There's also going to be a full (HBO) season of episodes on the first set too. It's the second set where there will be 8 episodes where everyone will be crying even more than usual about the price.
Dax, putting a big doc on the 8 episode set is great idea especially if it's the end of the series.
This is great news as we were originally told this season would be short not longer.
The wait between seasons is killer though. Deadwood just ended a couple months ago and theyre already working on S3 and looking at the new season starting around the same time as Sopranos.
