While you might think that he’d be consumed with his next series for US TV network FX (medieval drama The Bastard Executioner), Kurt Sutter is not completely ready to leave his previous show, Sons Of Anarchy, behind. He’s drawing up plans for a spin-off focused on the Mayan Motorcycle Club.
Sons, for those who don’t know, ran between 2008 and last year, starred Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman and Katey Sagal and chronicled a fictional motorcycle gang operating in Northern California. Hunnam’s Jackson “Jax” Teller struggled with his responsibilities as a father, trying to continue his own late dad’s legacy of turning the club’s fortunes and morals around and dealing with his stepfather, club leader Clarence “Clay” Morrow. With shades of Hamlet in its foundation, it was a potent blend of sex, violence, back-stabbing, front-stabbing, in-fighting, family wrangling and vehicular mayhem.
The Mayans, usually led by Emilio Rivera’s Marcus Alvarez were a rival bike chapter that eventually came to an uneasy alliance with SAMCRO (the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original).
Sutter won’t be running the new series himself; he’s far too busy as executive producer, writer, director and occasional guest star (much as he did on Sons) for Executioner to divert too much attention, so he’s in the process of finding someone to handle those duties. As for when it’ll be set and whether any of the Sons cast will show up? That’s still to be decided, along with any potential premiere date, assuming the series makes it through development. The Bastard Executioner, meanwhile, arrives on Stateside TV screens on September 15.
