FX is developing a new biker-themed drama series with Jason Momoa set for the lead role, marking the network’s return to a genre that gained global visibility with the long-running success of Sons of Anarchy. The project, reported by Écran Large, is still early in development but has already drawn attention because of Momoa’s involvement and FX’s history with motorcycle-culture storytelling.
The series will explore a new narrative universe rather than revisiting characters or storylines from Sons of Anarchy or its spinoff Mayans M.C. According to early reporting, the new show is built as an original creation with its own tone and setting, while still aligning with the gritty, community-driven atmosphere associated with biker dramas.
Jason Momoa’s Role in a New Biker Universe
Momoa, known for roles in Aquaman, Frontier and See, has longstanding ties to motorcycle culture off-screen. His interest in custom bikes and his involvement in documentaries related to motorcycling make this casting a natural fit. The actor is expected to play a central figure within the new series’ biker community, though character details have not yet been revealed.
The involvement of Momoa signals that the project is being positioned with broad audience appeal. His presence suggests a focus on character-driven conflict, outdoor settings and the kind of rugged storytelling that has defined several of his past series roles.
A Return to the Biker Genre at FX
FX became closely connected to biker-focused drama due to the global impact of Sons of Anarchy, which ran from 2008 to 2014 and remains one of the network’s most identified franchises. The new Momoa-led project is not being treated as a direct successor but rather as a fresh narrative built in the same thematic territory: loyalty, conflict, moral ambiguity and the closed-world dynamics of motorcycle clubs.
The network’s renewed interest reflects the continuing demand for serialized dramas that explore subcultures through ensemble casts, shifting alliances and long-form arcs. Biker dramas provide that structure while offering a visually distinctive environment and a blend of action and internal conflict.
Production Outlook
The project has not yet entered casting beyond Momoa, and FX has not announced a production schedule. The move fits into the current industry trend of building recognizable genre projects around well-known actors with global fan bases. It also arrives at a moment when streaming platforms and networks are increasingly revisiting strong genre identities to stand out in a crowded marketplace.
The biker genre, though not as dominant as during the peak Sons of Anarchy years, continues to draw consistent audience interest, especially when organized around charismatic leads. Momoa’s established fan following and affinity for motorcycle culture could help shape the series’ tone and marketing direction once additional details emerge.
The new project remains in early development, but its combination of FX’s genre history and Jason Momoa’s involvement positions it as one of the network’s more notable upcoming dramas.
