Can a biker gang and Mickey Mouse get along?
Tuesday night, FX debuts its newest drama, “Mayans M.C.,” a spinoff of Kurt Sutter’s hard-edged biker drama “Sons of Anarchy.” While “Mayans” should fit snugly alongside fellow FX series like “Fargo,” “American Horror Story” and “Legion,” the network is about to become part of Disney’s $71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s film and TV assets.
The merger, which should close early next year, will put FX under the same corporate umbrella as Disney’s family-friendly fare like “Aladdin” and “Toy Story.” “You can’t put the FX and the Disney brands together,” John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions, told TheWrap during the Television Critics Association press tour this summer. “Disney’s the best family brand on the planet, but FX is not a family brand.”
