FX has recently revealed the premiere date for the fourth and upcoming season of the Sons of Anarchy spin-off series. Mayans M.C. will return to the small-screen in April. FX had initially renewed the popular series for a fourth season back in April last year. After a very long ten months, Mayans M.C. fans finally have an answer of when the series will return. You can take a look at the official announcement for the season 4 air date below.

The season 3 finale left the members of the Mayans probably in their most challenging position yet. The Santo Padre charter's goal was to unite several of the other charters under one leader, but the plan ended up backfiring, which then led the charters to a civil war. Now, that war has arrived at the doorstep of Santo Padre in the final minutes of the season 3 finale. Meanwhile, Taza decides to confess to Bishop that he was the one that killed Riz, not the Vatos Malditos. Moments later, a gunshot is heard from inside the clubhouse, not revealing any details if Bishop actually killed Taza or not.

Mayans M.C. was co-created by Kurt Sutter and Elgin James and follows the life of Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes (JD Pardo), a member of the Mayans M.C. charter on the Cali/Mexi border. Once the golden boy with the American Dream in his grasp, EZ, his brother Angel (Clayton Cardenas) and the rest of the Santo Padre M.C. face retaliation from other chapters after a failed attempt to align under one King. Meanwhile, EZ and Angel have grown distant from their father Felipe (Edward James Olmos) after a heart-wrenching betrayal.

Mayans M.C. takes place in the same universe as the long-running series Sons of Anarchy. The series picked up two and a half years after the events of Sons of Anarchy. The cast also includes Danny Pino, Carla Baratta, Michael Irby, Raoul Max Trujillo, Richard Cabral, Emilio Rivera, Sarah Bolger, Frankie Loyal, Joseph Lucero and Vincent Vargas. Mayans M.C. is produced by 20th Television and FX Productions, with Elgin James, Kurt Sutter, and Hilton Smith set as executive producers.

Mayans M.C. Boss Teases What's Ahead After Season 3 Finale

Reflecting back on the show's third season, showrunner Elgin James tells EW that he was inspired by Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. "Every season we had themes, and Huckleberry Finn felt right for this season," he says. "It's such an American novel and this is an American show, that's what I wanted to get across. I know we get put into a box because we have this beautiful, mostly Latinx cast and crew, but maybe America just looks a little different than people think it is in their minds."

During the season 3 finale, Gaby chose herself and her future as she left behind the man she loves in Santo Padre. But her departure will take EZ "south of the light," James says. "He's got places to go and some bridges to burn now." As for Isaac (JR Bourne), ruler of Meth Mountain, right before Gilly put a bullet into Isaac, and a reaper tattoo was shown that mysteriously connects Isaac to SAMCRO.

"We have to wait and see what happens with him," James teases. "[Bourne] is my dude, he was in my movie Little Birds. What he brought this season, man, people love to hate him! When we shot those Meth Mountain scenes, it was 32 degrees. So will we go back there? We may. Are we done with Isaac? Who knows?"

The fourth season of Mayans M.C. will officially premiere on Tuesday, April 19, starting at 10 pm ET/PT. The season will start off with two episodes airing back-to-back, with the new episodes streaming on Hulu the next day. The latest season will also consist of a total of 10 episodes, the same as the show's previous seasons. Which SOA characters do you hope to see return in the upcoming fourth season?
