Mayans MC, a spin-off of FX's famous series Sons of Anarchy, is about Mexican gangs operating on the border between California and Mexico. The famous Latino actor Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Dexter) will play Felipe Reyes, the head of the Mayans gang. The once powerful leader is overwhelmed and has to struggle to cover up his past while leading his family on a legal and upright path. The series is set after Sons of Anarchy and will focus on the story of EZ Reyes, a rookie in the Mayans gang. He has to suppress his desire for revenge while trying to win the respect of the women he loves. It sounds like the situation of Clay and Jax in Sons of Anarchy. It turns out that every family has its own unforgettable experiences and history repeats itself. The show has been booked for the first episode by FX. Kurt Sutter, the soul of SOA, will write the script with Elgin James and will also direct the first episode. Sutter said that the show will be different from SOA in tone, rhythm and storytelling. He also revealed why he is not the only one to take the lead: "As a white person from Jersey, it is not appropriate for me to tell this story about Latin culture and tradition. I want to find a strong and unique Latin voice to run this story, and Elgin James is that person."
