Is The Sopranos on Netflix, Prime Video or Disney+ in the UAE?

Short answer: no for subscription streaming.

Netflix UAE does not list The Sopranos; HBO titles generally aren’t available there.
Disney+ UAE focuses on Disney, Star, Marvel, Star Wars and Hulu/FX-style content, not HBO.
Prime Video UAE does not carry The Sopranos as part of the regular Prime catalogue; any appearance is usually as paid digital purchase, not included streaming.

If you see The Sopranos pop up in apps like Apple’s TV app or JustWatch, they usually point you back to OSN+ in the UAE, or to digital purchase options (Apple TV / Google Play / Amazon Video) in other regions.

What Is The Sopranos About?

The Sopranos is an American crime drama created by David Chase. It follows Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini), a New Jersey Mafia boss who suffers from panic attacks and reluctantly begins therapy with psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Melfi.

The series explores:

Tony’s struggle to balance his crime family and home life, including wife Carmela and children Meadow and A.J.
His relationships with his crew and protégés, especially Christopher Moltisanti.
Themes of power, masculinity, therapy, depression, loyalty and the slow decay of both the mob and suburbia.

The show mixes brutal violence with dark humour and everyday domestic scenes. It’s often credited with kickstarting the “Second Golden Age of TV” and is regularly ranked among the best series of all time.

How Many Seasons and Episodes Does

The Sopranos Have?

For UAE viewers on OSN+:

Seasons: 6
Episodes: 86
Typical runtime: 43–75 minutes per episode

OSN+ lists all six seasons in one complete boxset, with a full episode list starting from Season 1’s “The Sopranos” pilot up to the famous “Made in America” finale.

In What Order Should You Watch The Sopranos?

The viewing order is straightforward:

The Sopranos – Seasons 1 to 6 (in release order) on OSN+.

If you want to expand beyond the series:

The prequel film The Many Saints of Newark (set in the 1960s–70s with a young Tony) is available on HBO/Max internationally and may appear on OSN+ as part of its HBO film slate in MENA.

But you don’t need anything else to enjoy the main story – the six seasons stand alone as a complete, self-contained arc.

How Does The Sopranos Compare to Other HBO Crime Dramas?

On OSN+ in the UAE, The Sopranos sits inside the HBO Classics section alongside Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood, The Deuce, Big Love, The Wire, Band of Brothers and more.

If you enjoy it and want similar shows, the next steps are:

Boardwalk Empire – Prohibition-era Atlantic City power plays
Deadwood – Western drama with similar language and character density

The Wire – for systemic, city-wide crime storytelling (see our Wire UAE guide)

OSN+ even surfaces The Wire, Boardwalk Empire, Banshee and others as “More like this” directly on The Sopranos series page.

Should You Watch The Sopranos?

Here’s the quick filter if you’re in the UAE and browsing our What to Watch This Week UAE hub.

Watch it if…

You want a top-tier prestige drama that still holds up and regularly tops “greatest TV” lists.
You liked Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul or The Wire and want to see the show that paved the way for them.
You’re into mob stories but want more psychological depth and family drama than typical gangster films.
You like series that mix violence, dark comedy and therapy sessions in one episode.
You want a long, complete show (86 episodes) to anchor your OSN+ subscription.

Skip it if…

You’re not comfortable with strong violence, language or adult themes – this is an 18+ series for a reason.
You prefer lighter, episodic crime-of-the-week shows; The Sopranos is serialised and slow-burn.
You dislike morally grey characters; almost everyone here is compromised.
You just want background TV while multitasking – the show rewards attention and patience.

If you decide it’s not your thing, try something easier like our picks under New on Netflix UAE or lighter HBO fare on New on OSN+ UAE.

Quick FAQ: The Sopranos in the UAE

Is The Sopranos free to watch in the UAE?

No. You need a paid OSN+ subscription. OSN+ sometimes appears in telco bundles (du / Etisalat / e&), but it’s still a paid service overall.

Can I download episodes on OSN+?

Yes. The OSN+ apps on iOS and Android support offline downloads, and The Sopranos is listed as one of the “Classics on OSN+” available that way.

Does it have Arabic subtitles?

OSN+ content in the UAE is typically subtitled or dubbed in Arabic, and The Sopranos appears in both English and Arabic on OSN+ listings, so you can safely expect Arabic subtitle support.

How long will The Sopranos stay on OSN+?

OSN has a multi-year exclusive HBO licensing deal for MENA, covering classic HBO series like The Sopranos. There’s no announced end date, but as always, it’s smart to watch sooner rather than “one day”.
