FX Pilots Sons of Anarchy Spin-Off

LOS ANGELES: FX has ordered a pilot for Mayans MC, a drama that marks the next chapter in the Sons of Anarchy saga.

Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter will direct the pilot episode and serve as executive producer, with his producing partner Elgin James serving as co-executive producer. Mayans MC is set in a post-Jax Teller world, where 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. The Mayans were recurring players in Sons of Anarchy throughout the series’ seven-year run.

The pilot is being produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions. Production is scheduled to begin in March.
