Whattaya hear, whattaya say?
I was rewatching the episode "Kaisha" the other day and started wondering what might've happened to Agent Harris after the events of the show. Here's what I came up with:
Shortly after the REDACTED of Tony Soprano, Dwight Harris resigned from the FBI. The official reason was to spend more time with his family, but he quietly admitted to several colleagues that he'd gotten too close to the DiMeo crew, affecting his integrity and efficiency as an investigator.
For the next ten years, Harris wrote a series of novels called Made in America, about a depressed gangster called Nicky Alto and Alto's struggle to balance his personal and criminal lives. The novels were critically panned as provocative and pretentious schlock, but commercially successful, with "Little" Carmine Lupertazzi buying the film rights. Made in America was adapted into several straight-to-DVD movies, starring Daniel Baldwin as Nicky Alto.
By 2017, Harris had grown bored of schmoozing with authors and Hollywood d-listers. After the death of Frank Cubitoso, Harris accepted an invitation to fill Cubitoso's role as chief of the FBI's New Jersey division. Harris quickly became bored of this, too, as without any field work or dynamic cases, he found himself writing reports about street dealers and pedophiles.
In 2022, Harris attempted to break out of his boredom by entering politics, securing the Republican nomination for New Jersey's 1st congressional district election and resigning from the FBI for a second time. Harris lost the election in a humiliating blowout, securing only 35.2% of the vote. With his finances secured but his reputation and self-confidence ruined, Harris quietly divorced his wife and retired to New Hampshire, where he developed a online gambling addiction.
In 2025, Harris nominated by the Trump administration as Director of the FBI, a wild card candidate whose media appearances had made him popular with the President. Facing $200k of gambling debts, Harris reluctantly agreed, but faced a grueling congressional hearing that dredged up Harris's connections to the DiMeo's, including the murder of Phil Leotardo. He was also accused of profiting from money laundering by Lupertazzi's film studio.
Although Harris had enough votes to secure the nomination, he withdrew his candidacy after what he described as a long, hard look at his career. Privately, Harris concluded that he had succumbed to the same demons that had plagued Tony Soprano, whose memory now haunted him.
On March 25th 2025, Dwight Harris died from an accidental overdose of sleeping pills.
I know, I know. Always with the scenarios. What do you guys think happened to the characters after the end of the show?
