Soprano's fans, listen up...

From TVGuide Online:

TVGO: Speaking of the show returning, there are reports that the new season won't begin until Sept. 2002. That's a joke, right?
Chase: It's a possibility. I'm actually here [in Los Angeles] to talk about it this week with HBO. I think they would rather it start sooner. I've been away, so I don't really know what it is they want. I'm sure they'd rather it went on sooner, but I haven't gotten any heavy pressure from them.

Oy.
