The Sopranos - Season 5

here's the article

The Sopranos,\" which returns March 7 with 13 new episodes, begins with the \"Mafia class of 2004 hitting the streets,\" Chase said, speaking to the group via satellite from Paris.


Chase, usually coy about sharing plot details, gave a broad sense of what was in store for New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini (news)), estranged wife Carmela (Edie Falco (news)) and the rest of the gang.


\"It has to do with the limitations of family relationships and friendships in a sort of materialist world,\" Chase said. \"And also the fact that Tony Soprano is kind of a mature boss.\"


But he's not yet a \"lion in winter,\" he added.


One more season, with 10 episodes, is planned for the critically acclaimed, Emmy-winning series.


Although there had been talk of a movie, Chase was uncertain about the possibility.


\"I wouldn't say no to that completely but these last 10 episodes will be that movie, I believe.\"


Chase was queried about the fate of two characters: Furio, who worked for Tony and flirted with Carmela before wisely leaving the country, and a Russian gangster who battled it out with Tony's boys in the woods.


Would Furio be back? \"He's gone.\" The Russian? \"He's gone.\"
