Sopranos creator confirms finale
Sopranos star James Gandolfini is ready to move on
Sopranos creator David Chase has said the show will definitely end after the forthcoming episodes.
The 12-part sixth season begins in the US in March, followed by eight "bonus" episodes in January 2007.
Chase said at a press event in Pasadena: "There will be these 12 (forthcoming episodes) and then another eight, and that will be the end."
The show's network HBO had refused to state if the extra episodes announced last summer would be the last.
Chase also said little about how the upcoming episodes would unfold, or how the series would end.
Chase went on to cast doubt on speculation about a feature movie version of the show, which stars James Gandolfini as the conflicted New Jersey mob boss and family man Tony Soprano.
"We haven't talked about it in a long time. ... It's hard to see how it would work," Chase said. "I think what we're going to be doing the next year and a half would have been that movie."
