Eziekel "EZ" Reyes
The show centers around Eziekel "EZ" Reyes, played by J.D. Pardo. While he fills the role of Jax Teller, Reyes is far different from the Sons of Anarchy anti-hero. Reyes is new to the Mayans club, still looking to earn his stripes. He also has more compassion than his predecessor, making for an interesting dynamic in this brutal world.

Emilio Rivera assumes the role of Marcus Alvarez, the stern yet quiet President of Mayans Oakland charter from Sons of Anarchy. He is one of the few characters remaining from one series into the next.

Angel Reyes (Clayton Cardenas) is an established member of the Mayans club. The show reportedly finds him dealing with feelings of inferiority compared to his brother, despite the fact that EZ was only recently released from prison.
prevnextFelipe Reyes
Felipe Reyes is played by the legendary Edward James Olmos. As a strong yet world-weary patriarch, he will reportedly spend the series trying to guide his sons onto a lawful path.

Unlike its predecessor, Mayans M.C. employs a bright color palette in the border towns where it is set. The show is expected to look more lively than SoA did in general, though it makes no promises about being less bleak in content.

Sarah Bolger plays Emily Thomas, EZ Reyes' childhood sweetheart. It sounds like Thomas moved on and moved up after Reyes went to prison, and the show will find her looking down on her ex from the big house on the hill.

As more and more teasers and previews emerge, it has become clear that Mayans M.C. will lean heavily on the predominately Latinx identities of its characters. In the latest teaser, Reyes and the others can be seen mockinng one of the characters who does not speak Spanish, representing a pretty big departure from the mostly-white cast of Sons of Anarchy.
