The Many Saints of Newark cast is composed of younger versions of characters from The Sopranos, and other members of the DiMeo crime family from the time Tony Soprano was just a teen. Set in the 1960s and '70s, The Many Saints of Newark takes place around 30 years before Tony rose to become the family's boss in the original series. Created by David Chase, The Sopranos premiered on HBO in 1999 and came to an end in 2007 after six seasons, and is still widely regarded as one of the greatest antihero crime dramas of all time. Written by Chase and directed by Alan Taylor, The Many Saints of Newark is the first prequel movie inspired by The Sopranos.
