Big news, it looks like Sons of Anarchy will be getting a much anticipated spin-off series at the hands of creator Kurt Sutter and producer Elgin James.
The pilot for Mayans MC will start shooting in March, with Sons of Anarchy and The Shield creator Sutter one again at the helm.
Sutter co-wrote the script with long-time friend and filmmaker James. Sutter had previously expressed interest in making both a prequel and a spin-off to his hit crime series before it was announced he was developing a show about the Sons Of Anarchy Motorcycle Club's Hispanic rivals, the Mayans.
In the original series, the Mayans were a competing biker gang which eventually agree a temporary alliance with the Sons.
"I wanted to find a strong, unique Latino voice," Sutter said. "Because I didn't think a white guy from Jersey should be writing about Latin culture and traditions. Elgin is that voice."
Sons Of Anarchy came to an end in 2014 after seven seasons.
"The show is set in a post Jax Teller world," FX said in a statement.
"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."
Mayans marks Sutter's return to FX following the cancellation of his last show, The Bastard Executioner, after one season.
