LOS ANGELES – “The Sopranos” won’t sing again until 2006.
HBO chairman Chris Albrecht told TV critics Thursday at their press tour that the hit series’ final 10 episodes “will be well worth waiting for,” despite the lag of more than a year and a half.
“People complain that TV does the same formula all the time,” Albrecht said, “and now people seem to be upset that we aren’t following the formula we’re supposed to be following” in terms of airing the show every year.
He compared “Sopranos” anticipation with the lengthy wait for new Harry Potter books that fans eagerly scoop up whenever they’re finally published.
And Albrecht raised hopes for more than 10 final-season episodes, saying there’s a chance of getting more hours from series creator David Chase.
HBO also announced a Sept. 9 airdate for its Rory Kennedy documentary, “Indian Point: Imagining the Unthinkable,” which explores the nuclear facility’s potential threats to nearby New York City.
