In addition to Venus, "SOA" fans can also anticipate meeting a new character during season seven. The FX drama hired "The Bridge" star Annabeth Gish in the role of a smart and edgy new sheriff in the fictional town of Charming, according to TVLine. Gish's character, Althea Jarry, will be looking into the murders of both Sheriff Eli Roosevelt and Tara Knowles when she quickly realized she must collaborate with SAMCRO.
Also as previously reported, Sutter discussed the main characters on "SOA" including Gemma, who just murdered her daughter-in-law Tara at the end of season six. Gemma's son Jax is unaware of his mother's betrayal, and Sutter said that season seven will explore "what happens to a guy who has lost both of the people who he loved the most and who centered him the most," referring to Tara and Jax's best friend, Opie.
"It is Jax untethered and on his own in the final season," the series creator warned, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Furthermore, season seven will kick off with a small time jump.
"I don't want to lose the weight of what's happened," Sutter explained to EW. "So there may be a little bit of a time [jump], like we did [in season six], which was a few weeks."
