Fans thought the reshoot spelled trouble for the "Sons of Anarchy" spinoff even before "Mayans MC" debuted on FX. Sutter, however, explained that the process was not out of the ordinary as he also did a reshoot of the "Sons of Anarchy" pilot episode years ago.

"Mayans MC" will follow a biker group operating on the California/Mexico border following the death of Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) in "Sons of Anarchy." It will center on a Mayans prospect/recruit EZ Reyes (JD Pardo) and the San Pedro Charter president Bishop Losa (Michael Irby). The show also stars Edward James Olmos, Raoul Trujillo, Emilio Rivera, Carla Baratta and Sarah Bolger.
"I'm really excited where we are in the process on Mayans," FX CEO John Landgraf expressed during the Television Critics Association press panel in August. "I'm very confident about the future of the spinoff."
FX plans on airing the show sometime in 2018.
