AceShowbiz - Kurt Sutter is not done exploring the Northern California motorcycle club scene as depicted on his show "Sons of Anarchy" that ended last fall. The Hollywood Reporter learns that the series creator is now developing a side story that focuses on Mayans, the biker gang led by president Marcus Alvarez (Emilio Rivera).
On the original show, The Mayans ran heroine factories and were involved in prostitution. They started as adversary for SAMCRO which was previously led by Charlie Hunnam's Jax Teller, but the two groups soon worked together both as business partners and partners in crime.
Kurt Sutter previously talked at Comic-Con about doing a "Sons of Anarchy" prequel possibly as a limited series. It's unclear whether the untitled Mayans project will be a prequel or not, but it's in the works at FX which enjoyed high ratings during the airing of the original series.
