The pilot for the Sons of Anarchy spinoff, Mayans MC, will be reshot and recast.

Variety reports the news, but there is no word yet which actors in the cast, which currently includes JD Pardo as Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes, Edward James Olmos as EZ's father Felipe, and Richard Cabral as Johnny “El Coco” Cruz, have been replaced.

The publication also reports that Sons of Anarchy and Mayans MC creator Kurt Sutter will step down as pilot director to focus on the script, with Norberto Barba stepping in as executive producer and director.

Mayans MC focuses on Reyes, "a prospect in the Mayan MC charter on the Cali/Mexi border" who has a thirst for retribution against the cartel.
