'Mayans MC' star Antonio Jaramillo says spinoff will be "spicier" compared to 'Sons of Anarchy'

The much-awaited spinoff to FX's 'Sons of Anarchy' will premiere on the network on September 4 at 10 p.m. ET.

September 3, 2008, marks an important day in the history of FX. It was the day 'Sons of Anarchy' premiered, forever changing the network's landscape concerning television programming and setting new and higher benchmarks for what constituted a successful series. For the crime drama, Kurt Sutter fabricated the town of Charming, and set in California's Central Valley, it would be the setting for the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle club. The show starred Charlie Hunnam as Jax Teller, initially the vice president and then later the president of the club, and Sutter's wife Katey Sagal as Gemma Teller Morrow, Teller's mother.

'Sons of Anarchy' would prove to be the television series equivalent of a late bloomer. Despite premiering to largely positive reviews, it caught fire beginning its third season which managed to attract an average of 4.9 million viewers and made it the network's highest-rated series. The premieres of the fourth and fifth season went on to similarly become the two highest-rated telecasts in FX's history, and despite continuing to go strong, closed out after season 7. When asked why Sutter said he wanted it to end "in a blaze of glory." But for disappointed fans, the creator had a surprise up his sleeve: a spinoff.
