The Sopranos marks its 20th anniversary this week, and everyone is still talking about the series finale, some 12 years after it aired. Love it or hate it, the Sopranos finale was unforgettable, particularly for its now-infamous final scene in which ( spoilers) the screen cut to black, and held there, leaving the fate of Tony Soprano ambiguous, and spouting many theories in the process. But according to creator David Chase, the series could’ve had a much different final scene – one that would’ve been a little less open-ended.

Matt Zoller Seitz and Alan Sepinwall’s fantastic new book The Sopranos Sessions takes readers through the iconic HBO series from beginning to end. Not only is the book a handy episode guide, it also features a revealing interview with series creator David Chase at the end. Seitz and Sepinwall go through every season with Chase, and Chase is pretty forthcoming on everything – including the famous Sopranos finale.
For one thing, Chase flat-out calls the final scene, in which Tony and his family meet in a diner, a “death scene,” which catches both Seitz and Sepinwall off-guard. When they point this out to Chase, he seems surprised he let that word slip, and then walks it back a bit. Which means whether or not Tony Soprano died in that final cut-to-black moment is still up for interpretation.
