On May 24, 2024, a popular Facebook page called     Sec #1 Profr Antonio D Coello T.M. claimed that the streaming service Max is developing a new series, with David Chase, the original showrunner, returning at the helm. The post describes the series as a 10-episode journey through the tough streets of late 1980s Newark, following a young Tony Soprano as he navigates the treacherous world of organized crime. The storyline allegedly includes key figures from Tony’s early life, like his mentor Paulie Gualtieri and his childhood friend Silvio Dante.

 

The post quickly gained traction online, sparking excitement among fans who were eager to see Michael Gandolfini step into the role his father made famous. Google Trends reported a spike in searches related to the rumored show, with many users eagerly seeking more details.

However, despite the buzz, the truth is that the YODA BBY ABY Facebook page is known for its satirical content. According to the page’s bio, it specializes in creating humorous, fictional posts, and the announcement about the new Sopranos series is just another example of its satire.

As of now, there has been no official confirmation or announcement of any new prequel series for The Sopranos. For fans hoping to see Michael Gandolfini return as Tony Soprano, it seems they’ll have to wait a little longer.
