Sutter knows not every Sons of Anarchy fan will accept that reason, and instead think Mayans M.C.’s location was chosen to reference the current political climate in America.
Kurt Sutter once again made his stance known that Mayans M.C. isn’t going to be a Sons of Anarchy sequel series, and that’s due to him wanting to protect the story of the original series.
Sutter indicated to do anything less wouldn’t be authentic to the culture and people represented in Mayans M.C., which is a major goal of the series.
Sutter assured to fans and Variety the premise of the series was laid out years before any political agendas, but that the show will need to address some of current politics to accurately depict life on the border.
