FX has released a new promo for Sons of Anarchy Season 5.

But while the first official trailer for this incredible drama mostly focused on the impending showdown between Jax and Clay, the latest teaser gives us a longer look at a few recurring characters.

There's Jimmy Smits as Nero, the biker who will strike up an unexpected friendship with Jax. There's Harold Perrineau as Damon Pope, whose daughter Tig ran over to close out Sons of Anarchy Season 4.

There's also Drea de Matteo, who returns as Wendy and who will continue to cause problems for Jax and Tara when it comes to custody of her son.

Watch the video now and circle the September 11 premiere date on your calendar.
