The second season of gritty bikie gang drama Sons of Anarchy ended last night with the shock kidnapping of Jax's baby son, Abel. The good news for fans of the show is that there will only be a short wait to find out what goes down, with the third series starting on TV3 in two weeks' time (that's 9.30pm, May 18).

Sons of Anarchy had a fraught start in New Zealand, as it was meant to start way back in 2009 on C4 (the channel now known as FOUR). The first series finally got an airing on TV3 late last year and since then the show has garnered a cult following - and in the United States it has been renewed for a fourth season.
