Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter just shared a new cast group shot of the Mayans MC spinoff on Twitter and fans are loving it.

The black & white photo shows a number of the main cast members posed together, with Sutter captioning it, "Continuing the saga..."

Many of his Twitter followers shared their excitement about the snap, with one fan writing, "They'res (sic) those fantastic guys together again!!!"

"Can't wait to see this story unfold," another fan commented.

In other Mayans MC news, it was recently announced that actor Gino Vento has joined the upcoming Sons of Anarchy spinoff in a recurring role.

According to Deadline, Vento will be playing a character named Nester, who is a devoutly loyal childhood friend of Miguel Galindo (Danny Pino). Nester is now Galindo's very intimidating head of security, and he will stop at nothing to enforce his boss' orders.

Vento has appeared in a number of television shows, such as The Blacklist and Person of Interest, but starred in his first notable role on Netflix's Bloodline. More recently, he could be seen in HBO's The Deuce, and on the currently airing The Last O.G., TBS' sitcom featuring former 30 Rock and SNL star Tracy Morgan.

Things have been somewhat quiet on the Mayans MC front lately, but back in March Sutter teased fans with another photo, this one of Sons of Anarchy star Emilio Rivera, who plays Marcus Álvarez in the franchise.

Not long before that, FX dropped a teaser video that revealed Alvarez would play a significant role in the series. FX also announced that it ordered a full 10-episode season of the new spinoff earlier this month that will premiere in late summer or early fall.

According to a news release from FX, Mayans MC's will consist of a first season, and will be overseen by Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter.

Co-president of FX's Original Programming, Nick Grad, commented on the new development, saying, "Kurt Sutter is a master storyteller and Mayans MC has the raw energy and intensity that are hallmarks of his signature style."

"Thanks to Kurt, co-creator Elgin James and this amazing cast, Mayans MC builds on the legacy of Sons of Anarchy, taking it in a thrilling new direction that we can't wait for the world to see," he added.

The new series will reportedly be "set in a post Jax Teller world," where a fresh-out-of-prison EZ Reyes (played by JC Pardo) "is a prospect in the Mayan MC charter on the Cali/Mexi border." EZ is now forced to create a new outlaw identity for himself whereas once he was a "golden boy who had the American Dream within his grasp."

While no specific premiere date has been announce, we do know that Mayans MC will debut on FX sometime in 2018.
