The Chevrolet Super Bowl commercial featuring Tony Soprano’s kids had NFL fans dreaming of a spin-off to bring the acclaimed series back to life.
Commercials are always part of the conversation around the Super Bowl.
That’s how fans turned their attention from the football to The Sopranos in the middle of the game between the Rams and the Bengals.
The Chevrolet Super Bowl commercial featuring Jaimie Sigler aka Meadow, Robert Iler aka Anthony Jr. and the theme from The Sopranos had fans feeling nostalgic.

Would give all my money for a Sopranos remake with Meadow running Jersey and AJ as her Sill.

Fortunately for Chevrolet, it got people talking. Unfortunately for fans of the show, it was just a truck commercial, not a teaser for a sequel series. Not all dreams come true it seems.
The Sopranos aired on HBO from 1999 to 2007. Many consider it one of the greatest television shows of all time and its parade of awards back that up.
Fans have gotten new content out of the series recently. In 2021 “The Many Saints of Newark” arrived in theaters as a prequel story in the show’s universe.
