"Sopranos": Chase Takes the Fifth

Bada Bing. It was just that simple for The Sopranos (news - Y! TV) godfather David Chase.

The Emmy-winning creator and executive producer has signed on for a fifth season of HBO's mob hit, in what was by all accounts (pardon the tired mob cliché), an offer he couldn't refuse. Chase will make anywhere between $15 million and $20 million to return to the series after next season, according to Hollywood trade reports.

Meanwhile, shooting on season four will begin in October. And to satiate fans until next year, HBO will air all 39 episodes from the first three seasons on Sundays at 8 p.m. starting August 12.
