Created by Kurt Sutter and Elgin James, Mayans M.C. is the next chapter in the award-winning Sons of Anarchy saga. Set in a post-Jax Teller world, Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes (JD Pardo) is a prospect in the Mayans M.C. charter on the Cali/Mexi border. Once the golden boy with the American Dream in his grasp, EZ is trying to reconcile with his brother “Angel” (Clayton Cardenas) while searching for the truth behind their mother’s death. Meanwhile, their father “Felipe” (Edward James Olmos) is struggling to lead his sons down a righteous path. The series also stars Sarah Bolger, Michael Irby, Carla Baratta, Antonio Jaramillo, Raoul Max Trujillo, Richard Cabral, Danny Pino and Emilio Rivera. Mayans M.C. is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions.

Critics have also noted the strength of the series as it builds in intensity through season two:

“Mayans M.C. had expanded the world of Sons of Anarchy and allowed its characters to reach far greater heights. And those were some large shoes to fill. The bar may have been set higher for Mayans M.C. than for the rest of the season’s new shows, but the spin-off managed to exceed the expectations of even its most cynical viewers, and that’s why we have full faith in its future.” – Kaitlin Thomas, TV Guide (June 3, 2019)

“Season 2 is more high-octane goodness” – Kristen Lopez, Remezcla (September 3, 2019)

“Addicting” – Rosy Cordero, Entertainment Weekly (October 7, 2019)

“Very entertaining season” – Matt Carter, CarterMatt.com (October 8, 2019)
