With African-American and Italian communities at odds, chaos arises and creates a dangerous rivalry.
The film performed well on streaming via HBO Max in the US. Naturally, it also contributed to a spike in viewership for The Sopranos. Here in Australia, you can stream both The Many Saints of Newark and the complete seasons of The Sopranos using this guide.

The Many Saints of Newark preview
If you’re a huge The Sopranos fan, a movie that offers a backstory of one of the greatest and most influential characters on television should be a no-brainer. Enter The Many Saints of Newark. Here, you’ll see a young Anthony Soprano (William Ludwig) growing up in one of the most lawless eras in Newark’s history.
When a rival gangster begins to rebel and challenge the powerful DiMeo crime family, troubles turn lethal. Caught up in such tricky times is the uncle Tony looks up to, Dickie Moltisanti, who struggles to manage both his professional and personal duties.
As a part of the DiMeo crime family, Dickie uses his influence on the young Tony, ultimately turning him into an all-powerful mob boss that we now know as Tony Soprano. A companion piece to the iconic TV series, The Many Saints of Newark proves that even after 15 years, The Sopranos still captivates.
This film is directed by Emmy award-winning director Alan Taylor and written by The Sopranos creator David Chase alongside former Sopranos writer Lawrence Konner. It’s also worth mentioning that Chase has announced his interest in producing a sequel to The Many Saints of Newark, only this time it will follow Tony Soprano in his 20s.
