The American crime drama revolves around Tony Soprano and his life - from balancing commitments to his wife Carmela with his role as the mobster boss of a huge criminal organisation to his therapy sessions with psychiatrist Jennifer Melfi.
The Sopranos follows the turbulent life of Tony, his family and the rival gangs that he must deal with to survive.

Why did The Sopranos get cancelled?
It's not clear why The Sopranos was cancelled, but after running for eight years we couldn't blame the actors, writers and producers for wanting a change.
The series might get renewed though, although we haven't heard any plans for a spin-off or another series yet. But that ending (no spoilers!) surely deserves a follow-up?
