FX Officially Orders Sons Of Anarchy Spin-Off Mayans MC
Sons of Anarchy spin-off Mayans MC is officially coming your way. According to The Hollywood Reporter, FX has given a 10-episode order to the series, with the show expected to debut in the summer or the late fall.
The show follows EZ Reyes (JD Pardo), a prospect in the Mayan MC charter on the California/Medico border. Reyes used to have the American dream within his grasp, but after winding up in prison, his life is derailed. After he gets out, he must find his new place in the town where he was once the golden boy.
Sons of Anarchy concluded its seven-season run four years ago, and talk of a spin-off has raged since then. Mayans MC was first announced in August of 2015 and was picked up to pilot in December of 2016; however, in July, the network announced that they planned to completely reshoot the pilot with several new actors.
Edward James Olmos, Sarah Bolger, Clayton Cardenas, Richard Cabral, Michael Irby, Raoul Trujillo, Antonio Jaramillo, and Carla Baratta also star in Mayans MC. The show comes from Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter and Lowriders' Elgin James, with Norberto Barba directing the pilot and serving as an executive producer.
"Kurt Sutter is a master storyteller and Mayans MC has the raw energy and intensity that are hallmarks of his signature style," said FX president of original programming Nick Grad 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."
