'Mayans M.C.' Cast Reacts to Season 2 Renewal

Mayans M.C. was officially renewed for a second season on Monday, and everyone was excited by the news — particularly the series' cast.

FX renewed the motorcycle gang-driven crime drama after just four episodes had aired, apparently feeling safe that the show was a success. In its short run so far, Mayans has matched or exceeded all expectations, drawing fans into the familiar world established in Sons of Anarchy while adding its own twist, making it somehow still fresh and inventive.

In a press release on Monday, the network explained its reasons for snapping up the second season contract so early. FX is clearly pleased with the ratings, reaction and fan engagement that Mayans has managed, and they want to keep it going.

"Mayans MC is performing fantastically, proving to be a breakout first season," said Nick Grad, president of original programming. "The series premiered as the highest rated cable series this year and continues to sustain a committed fan base, reflecting the talent and drive of creators Kurt Sutter and Elgin James. We couldn't be more excited to take this ride to a second season."

While fans may have been excited by the prospect, they probably were not nearly as happy as the cast themselves, who breathed a sigh of relief knowing that they would have a job for another year. Before long, the actors had all taken to social media to express their glee and their gratitude.

Here is look at some of the main cast's reaction to Mayans M.C.'s renewal.
