Sons of Anarchyfans who have been eagerly anticipating FXs spinoffMayans MChave had amplereason to wonderabout the two series overlap.
A teaser trailer released earlier this month featuresMayansstar J.D.
The show takes place in real time post-Jax Teller, Sutter said.
Im very protective of that mythology and how that ended.
I want to leave in the minds of the fans how that club continued.
Right now theres no intersecting stories that will interfere with that.Sonswas a big world.
There were a lot of peripheral players and charters.
Thats the nature of the world; there is a relationship between theMayansand the Sons.
Well see those points of intersection this season and throughout the series as well.
But its a balance.
I want to acknowledge that world and find opportunities to circle that again.
And yet, I dont want to abuse it.
But when EZs older brother Angel (Cardenas) arrives, the two become circumspect.
Do you think he knows anything?
Dont worry about it pop, Pardo replies.
EZ observes one of the gunmens telltale tattoo, setting the stage for some future confrontation.
I thought it would be goo dot make a medieval drama, the show runner said with a laugh.
We didnt know what the shelf life ofBastardex would be.
The timing ended up being pretty good.
The process of [Mayans] took place about two years later.
It was crazy going from writing this kind of drama to fucking iambic pentameter.
And now here I am with all these dirty motherfuckers!
Its not like I began my casting process in County, he continued.
Authentic characters are important to me.
The opportunity to reinvent themselves you cant bottle that gratitude.
You cant ask for anything more powerful than that.
Its magic on set.
The showrunner has also previously said he doesnt want Mayans to feel like a Latino version ofSons of Anarchy.
Im surrounding myself with people who understand that culture and can tell that story, he said.
Its very different from the white clubs.
In the Latino MCs theyre very influenced by their heritage and their own culture.
To me, thats about authenticity, Sutter explained.
If it would be part of the sub culture, it would be part of the show.
In those outlaw clubs, there are no women members.
It doesnt mean we wont see women riding in the show.
But not in the club.
