SONS OF ANARCHY Spinoff Series MAYANS MC Gets a Pilot Order and Plot Details
If you were a fan of Kurt Sutter's Sons of Anarchy, you'll be happy to hear that the Mayans spinoff series that has been in development has received and official pilot order from FX. The series will be called Mayans MC, and thanks to THR, we have some plot details.
The pilot episode was written by Sutter and Elgin James, who will also both produce the series. The Mayans played a big role in Sons of Anarchy and the new series is set after the events that occurred with Jax Teller.
Mayans MC will center around a character named EZ Reyes, "a prospect in the Mayan MC charter on the Cali-Mexi border, struggles with his desire for vengeance against the cartel and his need for respect from the women he loves."
When previously talking about the spinoff and bringing on James to work with him on it, Sutter said, "I 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."
I enjoyed the craziness and drama of Sons, and I hope that Sutter and James can bring something compelling to Mayans MC that will draw audiences in.
