'Sons of Anarchy' News: Spin-Off Series Centering on Mayan Motorcycle Club Hinted
The popular FX show 'Sons of Anarchy' ended last year in a major way, and has left fans yearning to once again see a hardcore motorcycle gang show on television.
This wish may soon be granted as it has recently been revealed that 'Sons of Anarchy' creator Kurt Sutter is interested in coining a spin-off series that focuses on the Mayan Motorcycle Club.
This is only currently a plan that hasn't yet gone into action, however Sutter has offered some scarce details on the projected series.
"For the time being, Sutter, who graces the current cover of The Hollywood Reporter, is keeping mum on details, so questions remain about the time period and the potential for Sons' stars to return. On Sons, the Mayans were positioned as a rival California motorcycle club, comprising mostly Mexican-Americans in the heroin distribution business. The Oakland charter, led by president Marcus Alvarez (played by Emilio Rivera), began the series as SAMCRO's adversary. But as time went on, SAMCRO built up a tenuous working relationship with the Mayans, both as business partners and partners in crime and turf wars," writes THR.
Currently, Sutter is very much focused on his upcoming series 'Bastard Executioner' which will be set in a medieval time period. It has also been confirmed to star many of the actors that were featured in 'Sons of Anarchy.'
"But adding the Mayans project to Sutter's current portfolio will allow him, as well as FX and the two affiliated studios, to keep alive a franchise that has generated a rabid following and staggering ratings. Sons' audience famously grew every season, concluding its run as one of the most watched series in the network's history. In that time, Sutter, too, became one of the most instantly recognizable showrunners in the television industry," writes THR.
