A prequel film, The Many Saints of Newark, is set to be released in theaters in September and star Gandolfini’s 20-year-old son Michael as a young Tony Soprano. The Many Saints of Newark will feature younger versions of the fan-favorite characters, set in 1960 Newark when the riots between Italian-Americans and African-Americans were at an all-time high.

“It’s a profound honor to continue my dad’s legacy while stepping into the shoes of a young Tony Soprano,” Michael said in a statement after his casting was announced in January. “I’m thrilled that I am going to have the opportunity to work with David Chase and the incredible company of talent he has assembled.
