Let's ride! FX on Tuesday rolled out the red carpet — and more than a few Harleys — for the premiere of Mayans MC at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. The Sons of Anarchy spin-off will premiere Sept. 4.

Pardo (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2) plays Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes, a Mayans prospect with a very complicated past. "EZ never wanted to be a part of the MC," Pardo tells EW. "He had his own life. He went to Stanford. He's an intelligent young man."

Olmos (Stand and Deliver), who plays EZ and Angel's dad, Felipe Reyes, knows that Mayans is debuting at a challenging time, given the climate around immigration and Donald Trump's accusations that Mexico brings drugs and rapists to America. "It's going to be a difficult journey," Olmos admits.

Cardenas (American Crime) plays Angel Reyes, a full-patch member of the Mayans who brings his brother EZ into the MC. "When I first saw myself in the kutte, it was a surreal moment," Cardenas tells EW of this biker vest. "You feel this cool transformational period happen. Right away you lock into this, 'Holy s—, this is real.' There's a sense of pride when you put it on."

Sutter made sure to write in a brief cameo for his wife, who memorably played Gemma Teller Morrow in Sons of Anarchy. But don't go looking for a strong matriarch in this iteration. "I took that mandate away," Sutter tells EW. "This is a show about two brothers and a father with really clunky, sparse emotional skills."
