"Made in America" is the series finale of the HBO drama series The Sopranos. It is the eighty-sixth episode of the series, the ninth episode of the second part of the show's sixth season, and the twenty-first episode of the season overall. It was written and directed by series creator, executive producer and showrunner David Chase. It first aired in the United States on June 10, 2007.
The plot of "Made in America" details the aftermath of the mob war between the DiMeo crime family, headed by series protagonist Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), and the New York-based Lupertazzi family. Tony also has to deal with many familial concerns involving his wife Carmela (Edie Falco), son A.J. (Robert Iler), and daughter Meadow (Jamie-Lynn Sigler). As the series comes to a close, several characters make personal and professional adjustments.
"Made in America" was filmed in February and March 2007 and was the only episode other than the series' pilot to be directed by Chase. It attracted 11.9 million viewers on its premiere date. The initial critical response was mostly favorable and since the episode's original broadcast that appreciation has grown considerably, ranking it as one of the best television finales. The episode was nominated for a Directors Guild of America Award and won an Emmy Award for writing and an Eddie Award for editing. "Made in America" – especially its closing scene – has been the subject of much discussion, criticism, and analysis. It has, like the whole series, entered American popular culture.
