What is Mayans M.C.?
The series Mayans M.C. is the continuation of showrunner Kurt Sutter’s award-winning Sons of Anarchy television series about biker gangs in California.
Mayans M.C. was co-created by Kurt Sutter and Elgin James. Mayans takes place in a post-Jax Teller (SOA) world. Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes (JD Pardo) is a prospect with a past in the Mayans M.C. charter on the Cali/Mexi border.
Once a rising academic star, he now is climbing out of the clutches of the prison system and must play ball with law enforcement while keeping his past hidden from the club.
EZ is trying to reconcile with his brother “Angel” (Clayton Cardenas) while piecing together who was responsible for their mother’s death. Meanwhile, their father “Felipe” (Edward James Olmos) runs a carniceria and is hiding a storied past himself.
The series is executive produced by Sutter, James, and Kevin Dowling. The 10-episode second season is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and FX Productions.
Season 2 of Mayans M.C. premieres Tuesday, September 3 at 10p ET/PT on FX.
