It feels like forever ago, but there was a time when one of the biggest series on TV was a show on FX that featured all the pulpy goodness you would expect from a thriller about a motorcycle gang that deals guns and ends up fighting the police, as well as other “MCs.” “Sons of Anarchy” was appointment television for folks all fans throughout its seven-season run. So, naturally, FX wanted to keep the fanbase interested, and in 2018, the network launched the new spin-off series “Mayans M.C.”
Now, going into its second season, “Mayans M.C.” hasn’t quite reached the levels of ‘Sons,’ but has built its own cult following on FX. Sharing much of the same creative DNA as its parent series, ‘Mayans’ follows one of the gangs that found itself at odds with the Sons but serves as a sequel to the hit series. And as seen in the new trailer for Season 2, which premiered at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, the series is keeping a healthy mix of strong acting and action with the over-the-top stories and fun that made ‘Sons’ so enjoyable.
“Mayans M.C.” stars JD Pardo, Edward James Olmos, Clayton Cardenas, Sarah Bolger, Michael Irby, Carla Baratta, Antonio Jaramillo, Raoul Max Trujillo, Richard Cabral, Danny Pino, and Emilio Rivera. Much like its parent series, “Sons of Anarchy,” ‘Mayans’ is created by Kurt Sutter. However, for this series, he shares credit with Elgin James.
Season 2 of “Mayans M.C.” debuts on FX on September 3.
Here’s the synopsis:
Mayans M.C. is the next chapter in Kurt Sutter’s 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.
