'Sons of Anarchy' News: Collector Books Ships Early With Series Finale Spoilers, Kurt Sutter Goes on Twitter to Apologize for Leak
After seven seasons, "Sons of Anarchy" is about to take its final bow on Dec. 9 with its series finale. Though most fans are still speculating what the finale has in store for Jax and SAMCRO, a select few have gotten some details through its collector book, "The Sons of Anarchy: The Official Collector's Edition."
It was reported that a few copies of the book were sent out early to some booksellers and customers ahead of its Dec. 10 release-- one day after the series finale. "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter was not pleased with the situation, but he didn't point fingers at anyone and blamed himself for the mistake. The show creator took to Twitter to apologize to fans. In an apologetic, expletive-filled rant, he wrote:
"It has been brought to my attention that our SOA Collector's Edition book has been sent out a week early by some distributors and book outlets. This book contains details about the final episode of the series. This, my friends is a storyteller's worst nightmare. I wanted this book to be a complement to the show. It contains personal messages and photos from the cast ... detailed breakdown of episodes."
"It's a smart, well-conceived book that I was very excited for the fans to have, AFTER the [expletive] finale. There are a thousand [expletive] people I can blame ... But as far as the fans go, the burden is on me ... It was my idea for the book, so ultimately, I am to blame. So if you received a book, I apologize," he said.
"I ask that you not share your wrath or pain or opinion in social media so as not to spoil the experience of others ... It pains me that this will be the parting memory of some fans. I hope you all tune in for the finale. It plays better than it reads," Sutter explained.
Though the "Sons of Anarchy" finale has been leaked, many devoted fans are still expected to tune in to the final episode titled "Papa's Goods" on Tuesday night.
Watch the series finale of "Sons of Anarchy" on Tuesday, Dec. 9 on FX.
