Sopranos fans rejoice — there could be even more Italian-American family values coming your way. 

The Many Saints of Newark, the upcoming Sopranos prequel film, is hitting theatres and streaming on October 1. But according to creator David Chase, there's still more story to be told. 

In an interview with Deadline, Chase said he'd love to do another film — a sequel to the prequel — so long as Sopranos writer and executive producer Terence Winter was on board. 

"There's a lot of stories that exist already because of the mythology, and working with Terry would be great," Chase said. "He and I in that world again, I think we'd have a good time. I wouldn't do it on my own, and I would not do it with anybody else. If Warners [sic] wanted it, they own it, they can do whatever they want."

"The idea of doing another one, and doing it with David, I'd be in in a heartbeat," Winter said when reached for comment. "Absolutely."

Winter wasn't involved in The Many Saints of Newark, but he said he "absolutely loved the movie." 

"I knew it would be good, I just didn't know how much I was going to love it. To me, it felt like the show tonally, like it was the show, but not the show," he continued. "Seeing Michael Gandolfini, there were so many moments where he was his dad."

The Many Saints of Newark shared its official trailer earlier this summer. Michael Gandolfini, Alessandro Nivola, Leslie Odom Jr., Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga and Ray Liotta star in the film. Today, we're getting a second full-length trailer ahead of the film's release. Watch that below.
