Continuing the trend of Netflix picking up Warner Bros. Pictures theatrical movies around two years after their initial releases (Dune and Don’t Worry Darling have also dropped recently) comes The Sopranos prequel movie, The Many Saints of Newark.

The movie rewinds the clock on the hit HBO show and follows a young Anthony Soprano growing up in a time of change in Newark, New Jersey, with the DiMeo crime family under threat from new gangsters in town.
