The unique and memorable characters of like Nero (Jimmy Smits) and Barosky (Peter Weller) will also return to the series.

Sutter also tweeted that an ally of the Samcro will be back in the show. "GRIM BASTARDS on S7 of SOA. Looking forward to seeing @MikeABeach. I'm fascinated by the delicate racial balance that exists between MCs," Sutter posted.

According to "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter, he is trying to get CCH Pounder to return as Tyne Patterson. However, the actress is already booked to star in the upcoming CBS drama "NCIS: New Orleans," which was a spinoff of NCIS. The "NCIS: New Orleans" will begin airing in the fall, suggesting that Pounder may not have time to even appear as a guest star in "Sons of Anarchy".
