There's going to be more Mayans M.C. at FX. It was officially revealed at San Diego Comic-Con that a fifth season of the series is in the works with the plan for new episodes to arrive in 2023. Per Collider, the announcement was made during a special panel with the show's stars and creative team. FX Entertainment's President of Original Programming, Nick Grad, also spoke about the renewal.
“The Mayans have battled for respect, territory and power through four intense seasons that have set the stage for an explosive fifth season that will test their very survival under ‘EZ’s’ newly claimed leadership," Grad said. "Elgin James and the creative team, the brilliant cast, crew, and our partners at 20th Television have kept fans coming back for more and we are ready to take that ride with them for another season."
20th Television's Karey Burke added, “Elgin is a visionary leader who has managed the nearly impossible task of being in multiple places at one time as director, showrunner, and writer on his brilliant Mayans M.C. He’s also a passionate champion of emerging voices and young storytellers both in front and behind the camera, which is another reason we love being in business with him. There’s virtually nothing he can’t do and we’re grateful to have him at 20th.”
“20th is my home,” James also said in the statement. “I can’t wait to see what we’re able to create together moving forward. And every single member of the Mayans family, from our top of the call sheet to our set PAs and every single person in between have put their blood and sweat into making Mayans something special on the set and on the screen.”
Mayans M.C. Is Still Going Strong Four Seasons In
Mayans M.C. serves as a spinoff of Sons of Anarchy and is created by Kurt Sutter and Elgin James. The show, which follows the Mayans Motorcycle Club, first premiered on FX in 2018. It picks up about two and a half years after the events of Sons of Anarchy, taking place in the California town of Santo Padre and primarily focusing on the struggles of Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes. J.D. Pardo leads the cast of Mayans M.C. with the show also starring Clayton Cardenas, Sarah Bolger, Michael Irby, Carla Baratta, Richard Cabral, Raoul Max Trujillo, Antonio Jaramillo, Edward James Olmos and Danny Pino.
