If you were a fan of the hit-series Sons Of Anarchy on FX, then you’ll be happy to hear that the cable network is creating a spin-off series of another motorcycle drama titled Mayans MC.
Sons Of Anarchy producer & writer Kurt Sutter will return to co-create and executive produce the spin-off, with Edward James Olmos and JD Pardo leading an almost all-Latino cast.
"Mayans MC is set in a post-Jax Teller world, where EZ Reyes (Pardo), fresh out of prison, is a prospect in the Mayan MC charter on the Cali/Mexi border," FX said in a statement. "Now EZ must carve out his new outlaw identity in a town where he once was the golden boy who had the American Dream within his grasp."
In case you forgot, the Mayans were a Harley Davidson-riding gang, made up mostly latinos, who were rivals with Jax’s SAMCRO gang.
“Kurt Sutter is a master storyteller, and Mayans MC has the raw energy and intensity that are hallmarks of his signature style,” FX Networks programming chief Nick Grad said in a statement. “Thanks to Kurt, co-creator Elgin James and this amazing cast, Mayans MC builds on the legacy of Sons of Anarchy, taking it in a thrilling new direction that we can’t wait for the world to see.”
The show will be coming to FX either this summer or early in the fall, marking the 10-year anniversary of the start of Sons of Anarchy's run.
We’ll continue to keep you posted moving forward.
