Anarchy Afterword previously functioned as a web-only series during Season 6.
With the announcement of Anarchy Afterword coming to television, FX is joining the "after show" game started by AMC with Talking Dead after new episodes of The Walking Dead and Talking Bad after new episodes of Breaking Bad, both of them hosted by The Nerdist's Chris Hardwick. A&E also has an after show for Bates Motel called After Hours, which aired after the Season 2 premiere and finale, respectively, hosted by Carrie Keagan.
As for what is set to go down when Sons of Anarchy returns, FX released a short plot synopsis to tease fans.
"Jax in jail on a parole violation, grappling with the loss of the woman he loved," the synopsis reads, via TVLine. "With the club's full support, he sets in motion the brutal machinations that will lead to complete and merciless retribution." The season takes places 10 days after the shocking murder of Tara Knowles (Maggie Siff).
