Tony Soprano's fate has been revealed.
For years, fans have debated over whether or not the mobster was killed in the final scene of the hit show, which ends with a black screen after depicting Soprano and his family sitting in a restaurant. Many believe this was symbolic of his death — speculation that creator David Chase fuelled when he referred to it as a "death scene" during a 2020 interview — but until now fans have been left in the dark. Chase has finally put an end to the debate by confirming in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter that Tony Soprano did die at the end of the series. The revelation came when asked whether his mention of the final scene being a "death scene" was a slip of the tongue.
"No," Chase said. "Because the scene I had in my mind was not that scene. Nor did I think of cutting to black. I had a scene in which Tony comes back from a meeting in New York in his car. At the beginning of every show, he came from New York into New Jersey, and the last scene could be him coming from New Jersey back into New York for a meeting at which he was going to be killed."
