“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,” he added. “We couldn’t be more excited to take this ride to a second season.”
“The Mayans M.C. mythology sprung from the womb of Sons of Anarchy, but anyone who has taken the time to watch, knows it has become its own mythical creature,” added Sutter.

Set three years after the events of Sons of Anarchy, Mayans M.C. follows Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes, who is fresh out of prison and a new prospect of the Mayans Motorcycle Club.
The series stars J.D. Pardo, Edward James Olmos, Michael Irby, Carla Baratta, Antonio Jaramillo, Raoul Max Trujillo, Richard Cabral, and Danny Pino.
