HBO also launched an official Sopranos TikTok account featuring a “Sopranos in :25 series, with 25-second recaps of all 86 episodes.
“’The Sopranos’ left an indelible imprint on the global entertainment culture and was instrumental in defining HBO as the destination for groundbreaking, award-winning programming,” Zach Enterlin, Executive Vice President, Brand, Content and Creative, Streaming Marketing, HBO and Max, said in a statement. “The many ways we will honor this 25-year milestone will allow fans to celebrate the Soprano legacy and pay tribute to the characters that have had such an enduring impact.”
On Wednesday, Jan. 10, exactly 25 years after the series premiere, fans in New York and Los Angeles can order the official Satriales pop-up on delivery app Postmates for an authentic Sopranos-inspired Italian sandwich from Ggiata in L.A. and Regina’s in NYC.
Also on Wednesday, Alamo Drafthouse will host “Family Reunion” fan screenings of the pilot episode in New York and Los Angeles.
Max will also reunite the cast for a private, invitation-only Family Dinner, transforming the venue into a Sopranos-themed setting, complete with a curated menu inspired by the show.
From Jan. 11 through Feb. 4, New York City Italian restaurant Da Nico will serve a special Sopranos-themed menu featuring dishes including Carmela’s Baked Ziti and Satriales Special Caprese.
