HBO Announces Sixth Season for 'Sopranos'
NEW YORK - Tony Soprano — or at least the HBO series that bears his name — will be sticking around awhile longer.
HBO announced that it has agreed with producers of the award-winning mob drama for a sixth season. The cast currently is wrapping up production on the fifth season, which will begin in March 2004.
The sixth season will consist of 10 episodes, shorter than the 13-episode seasons "The Sopranos (news - Y! TV)" usually offers, HBO spokeswoman Tobe Becker said Thursday.
It's widely assumed that the sixth season will be the last one for "The Sopranos." Then again, it was widely assumed the fifth season would, too.
Series creator David Chase signaled the intention to keep going last week in an interview with the New York Daily News.
"I'd planned out an arc for season five that would have ended the show," he said. "But as we're getting into it, we're finding there's a lot more material. We could cram it into 13 episodes, but I don't know that it's the right thing to do."
Chase and his production team began negotiations that led to the extra 10-episode season.
Production for the sixth season will start in early 2005. No air dates have been set.

are they fuckin insane?
what happened to 2003? thats almost 2 years between seasons.

they pulled the same shit with the last season - 18 moth wait, or something like that.
I don't know, if this next season is as boring as the last one, I'm just gonna give up on it.

Seriously, "the wire" is just as good and complex a show and it was barely a wait between seasons.

1st season was definetly much much better. The characters aren't as fresh and the characters everyone liked don't seem the same or dont get enough screen time. The episodes are starting to remind me of the sopranos 3rd season, they dont seem to go anywhere nor add up to a bigger picture. They spend a larger chunk of the episode building up some one time event rather than expanding the new characters and the older ones along with the main story line and its smaller parts.

i agree. i watched last season when they were showing the reruns and it was cool. i've checked out two episodes this season and they kinda sucked.
I cant believe an entire winter without the sopranos. that really sucks.
