If you’re a fan of “The Sopranos,” you’re probably keen on viewing the new season.

After all, 21-months will have passed from the time HBO aired the last episode of the eccentric drama to the premiere of the first show due March 2006.

HBO proved to audiences it was worth the wait, after announcing Thursday its plans to extend the show an extra eight episodes.

“When something is as remarkable as “The Sopranos,” our audience would like to see it continue as long as possible, so we are thrilled that (series creator) David Chase felt there are more stories to be told,” HBO Chairman Chris Albrecht said in a statement.

“The Sopranos,” is the most successful series in cable television.

The show has won more Emmy awards then any other cable television series, including, “Sex and the City,” and “Six Feet Under.”

No statements have been released as to whether or not James Gandolfini, will gain some extra coin or have to revamp his contract for his portrayal of the quintessential mob-God “Tony Soprano.”
