‘Mayans MC’ New Set Photo Released, Premiere Date Teased

A new Mayans MC set photo has been released, and it teased a possible premiere date for the Sons of Anarchy spin-off.

In the photo shared by the series’ official Twitter account, fans can see a clapperboard baring the name of the episodes director, Norberto Barba. A caption on the post reads, “Quiet on the set. Mayans M.C. is coming to FX this fall.”

While no specific premiere date has been set, the show has been rumored for a late-2018 debut. It is very likely that Kurt Sutter-created series will air its first episode sometime in September as part of the new fall TV season, but that is not confirmed.

Recently, the first official teaser for the show was released and it has certainly generated a lot of fan-talk.

It features the Mayans MC crew riding down a highway to the tune of a Spanish-version of the The Rolling Stone’s “Paint it Black,” and had at least one fan screaming, “Can not wait!!”

The show has been picked up for a full season order by FX and will consist of 10 episodes, according to reports. If it is found to be a hit with fans, it’s very likely FX will commit to new seasons early on.

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.

Mayans MC will reportedly be “set in a post Jax Teller world,” where a fresh-out-of-prison EZ Reyes (played by JD 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.”

In addition to the aforementioned Pardo, Mayans MC has cast a number of other stars as well. Edward James Olmos, Sarah Bolger, Clayton Cardenas, Richard Cabral, Michael Irby, and Raoul Trujillo are just a number of the other actors who will be appearing in the series.
