In May 2024, the Max streaming service announced a prequel series for “The Sopranos” starring Michael Gandolfini as Tony Soprano.
On May 24, 2024, the popular YODA BBY ABY Facebook page posted an announced announcement of a new prequel show for the acclaimed TV series “The Sopranos.” According to the post, “Soprano” will star Michael Gandolfini – the son of the late James Gandolfini – in the leading role of the iconic character Tony Soprano.
According to Google Trends, quite a few Google users searched for the words “new Sopranos Michael Gandolfini” to find more information about the rumor.
This post appeared to cause quite a bit of excitement with users, both those who liked the Facebook post and those who searched on Google. After all, Michael Gandolfini previously starred as a young Tony Soprano in the 2021 movie, “The Many Saints of Newark.”
However, the truth was the YODA BBY ABY Facebook page publishes content labeled as “satire,” as a disclaimer in the page’s bio says: I’m just here to eat frogs, lift rocks and be satirical. The page is 100% satire and fake news.
In other words, there has been no publicly-disclosed announcements about any new TV series or movies based on “The Sopranos.”
