Mayans MC

<h2>Developments</h2>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true">The following is everything currently known about 'Mayans MC', courtesy of Maxim magazine:
<!-- RTE::{"spaces":0,"type":"LINE_BREAK"} --><b>1. THE SERIES TAKES PLACE AFTER THE DEATH OF JAX TELLER</b><br data-rte-washtml="1" />&nbsp;</p>
<dl><dd>"It's a post-Jax Teller world. We talk a little about the ramifications of that final day with Jax that changed the fabric of northern California, and trickled down south," Sutter said.
</dd></dl>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"><b>2. SOME OF THE NEW CAST MEMBERS ARE ACTUAL CONVICTS</b><br data-rte-washtml="1" />&nbsp;</p>
<dl><dd>Sutter wanted to ensure that his show was as authentic as possible, casting actual bikers and convicts in an array of supporting roles. "The thing I love about this cast is they have more jail time than screen time," Sutter said.
</dd></dl>
<dl data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"><dd>Emilio Rivera is the only <i>Sons of Anarchy</i> actor confirmed to return, but Sutter hinted that there may be a transitional period early on in the show. There is speculation this means more old cast members might crop up, but they shouldn't stay around for long.
</dd></dl>
<dl data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"><dd>"My job in this series, if we're blessed enough to continue, is to transition from the mythology [of Sons] and honor that, because we want to acknowledge where we came from and those fans, and then balance that with having a show that is original and different and doesn't feel like the Latino version of <i>Sons of Anarchy</i>," Sutter said.
</dd></dl>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"><b>4. THE STORY WILL BE TOLD FROM A LATINO PERSPECTIVE</b><br data-rte-washtml="1" />&nbsp;</p>
<dl><dd>Now that blonde-haired, blue-eyed Charlie Hunnam is out, the spinoff will follow a Latino biker gang. Sutter made an effort to diversify the writer's room, including hiring Elgin James, a mixed-race writer and filmmaker.
</dd></dl>
<dl data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"><dd>"My goal is really just to get the white guy out of the room as quickly as possible," he said. "I knew a white guy from Jersey should not be writing solely about Latino culture."
</dd></dl>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"><b>5. BUT IT WON'T GET TOO WRAPPED UP IN POLITICS</b><br data-rte-washtml="1" />&nbsp;</p>
<dl><dd>"It's not a political show, I do not write political shows, I should not write political shows, but, the same way 'Sons' was a fictitious club and family in a real world, the real world always impacted that show," Sutter said.
</dd></dl>
<dl data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"><dd>"So, this is not a show that will deal head-on those issues, but this is a show that takes place on the border, and it’s a politically-charged, and emotionally-charged, part of the world, [and] that stuff will have to bleed into the storytelling, or it won't be authentic."
</dd></dl>
<p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1"><i>Mayans MC</i> premiered on FX on September 4, 2018.
