The Sopranos season 6

The final season of HBO’s *The Sopranos* aired in two blocks: the first 12 episodes ran from March 12 to June 4, 2006, and the remaining 9 episodes aired from April 8 to June 10, 2007. Originally planned as 20 episodes, creator David Chase requested an additional episode to better conclude the story. The first part was released on DVD in region 1 on November 7, 2006, and on Blu-ray on December 19, 2006; the second part followed on DVD and Blu-ray on October 23, 2007. The first half of the season explores themes of redemption, as members of the New Jersey crime family—especially Tony Soprano—are given opportunities to change. Tony undergoes a spiritual awakening after a near-death experience. The second half shifts focus to the Soprano crime family dealing with the fallout of their actions, particularly as tensions escalate with their New York rivals. Ratings and critical reception remained strong, though the series finale sparked controversy. The second part of season six won the Outstanding Drama Series award at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards.
