Two recurring actors on Sons of Anarchy have been promoted to series regular status ahead of the final season of the motorcycle drama.

MC Ally To SAMCRO Returns For Season 7?

Niko Nicotera, who has guest starred for two seasons as Sons of Anarchy member Ratboy Skogstrom, has been promoted to series regular for season 7, according to a new report by Deadline. Additionally, David Labrava, who is a real-life member of Hells Angels, has been bumped up to series regular status. Labrava plays Happy, who became Sergeant-at-Arms of the club's mother chapter in season 6.

Very little has been revealed about the final season of Sons of Anarchy other than casting notices. Series creator Kurt Sutter has said that Jimmy Smits will return for season 7 as Nero, as will Peter Weller as Charles Barosky. He previously said that he is trying to get CCH Pounder to return as Tyne Patterson, though she is set to star in NCIS: New Orleans this fall.

There has been a lot of speculative casting going on as well, with Sutter making references to certain actors who could be in the final season. These actors include Aaron Paul and Lea Michele, though neither casting has been confirmed by any involved with the show.

Sons of Anarchy's seventh and final season premieres in fall 2014 on FX, though the network has not yet scheduled a specific air date.
