Mayans MC, the Sons of Anarchy spinoff, is expected to contain a lot of strong language. This should be no surprise given it`s a show from Kurt Sutter. But now, Sutter has confirmed that the writing team has a `lot more freedom` in terms of language than Sons of Anarchy did.As THR explains, this comes down to changes related to broadcast standards. He said at Comic-Con recently that he takes a `f**k inventory` after writing each Mayans episode, and in good news for fans of strong language, FX will allow the word `f**k.``I`m not quite sure where the shift has happened but there is a lot more freedom in terms of language and we will be able to say `f**k` on FX,` he said. `I always do a f**k inventory at the end of every script and go, `Oh, that`s way too much.``While FX will allow the word `f**k` on Mayans MC, you probably shouldn`t expect to hear it every other word like it was Goodfellas. Still, Sutter said it`s freeing because with Sons of Anarchy, the writing team had to contend with writing scripts for `a world where that word didn`t exist.`The first trailer for Mayans MC premiered at Comic-Con recently, showing off more of the gritty world and its new characters (watch it above). JD Pardo plays Ezekiel `EZ` Reyes, a prospect in the Mayans M.C. biker gang that just got out of prison. Emilio Rivera`s character from Sons of Anarchy will also appear, though there won`t be many other crossovers, apparently.`Right now there`s no intersecting stories that will interfere with that but Sons is a big world and there was a lot of peripheral players ... so there will be those kind of intersections,` Sutter said during a Comic-Con panel.The first season of Mayans is scheduled to premiere on FX on September 4 and will consist of 10 episodes. The show also stars Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica, Dexter), and the first two episodes are directed by Norberto Barba (Preacher).
