DEADLINE: Youve said that you see the Sons saga in four chapters, this is the second. Sounds like Marvel superheroes on motorcycles. How much is it hovering in your head, the chapter where John Teller gets out of Vietnam and starts Sons with Piney, and Clay and Gemma in the background? Does telling that story still interest you?
SUTTER: Yeah. One of the cool things about [Mayans] is we do something we never did on Sons. We never had a flashback on Sons, because I felt like it pulled you out of the world. But because of who EZ is, and the way his brain works, its organic to this show. Callbacks will set up that prequel you mention. Ive talked to John about it and itll be a couple seasons in before we try to do it, but that will be the third chapter, but it will only be like 10 episodes. I dont see it as a series that goes longer. Itll start in Vietnam, and itll be about the formation of the club and then stop after the last member of the original nine joins. That was Clay. That way we dont begin to infringe on the story we based that on in Sons.
And if Im still alive when Mayans is over, I do have a thought and itll maybe be one of the things we lay track to. Jax didnt destroy all those copies of John Tellers manuscript, and at some point maybe down the line we have Dreas character still out there with the boys, we have Jimmy Smits character still out there. At some point perhaps therell be a brother story with Able and Thomas, coming back to Charming. Where it all began. If Im still alive, that might be the last chapter.
