Sons Of Anarchy spinoff Mayans MC has landed a pilot order at FX in the US it has been announced today, and will pick up after the events of the SoA finale.
The new show with follow a character called ‘EZ Reyes’, who is a prospect for a Mayans MC charter on the border of California & Mexico. He is struggling with his desire for vengeance against the local cartel, and his need for the women in his life to respect him. If you were a fan of the brilliant Sons Of Anarchy you’ll remember the Mayans as the rivals, and sometime allies of the Sons Of Anarchy MC.
Sons Of Anarchy head honcho Kurt Sutter is back to direct, and the show is written and co-produced with writer/director and ex-gang member, Elgin James (Little Birds). The collaboration came about because Sutter said he “wanted to find a strong, unique Latino voice, because I didn’t think a white guy from Jersey should be writing about Latin culture and traditions. Elgin is that voice.”
The pilot for Mayans MC will be shot in March 2017, and will hopefully see a series to follow if all goes well.
