When the American crime drama series Sons of Anarchy finished its run in 2014, many wondered what was next for the many characters introduced throughout the show’s seven-season run. Although Jax Teller’s story ended, it wasn’t the end for the Sons of Anarchy universe. Fortunately for fans, Mayans M.C. premiered on September 4, 2018, on FX. Created by Kurt Sutter and Elgin James, the series shares the same fictional universe as Sons of Anarchy. This time we focus on the Mayans Motorcycle Club, former enemies turned allies of the Sons of Anarchy. Mayans M.C. is set in the fictional California border town Santo Padre and stars JD Pardo and Clayton Cardenas. Two-and-a-half years have passed since the events of Sons of Anarchy with the spin-off following EZ Reyes, fresh out of prison, as he progresses as a prospect in the Mayan M.C. charter. After a dramatic Season 3 cliffhanger, audiences have been waiting to see the aftermath and how things will play out moving forward. Season 4 will hit screens April 19th on FX at 10 pm EST.

What is the Background of Mayans MC?
Mayans M.C. is a spinoff of the popular FX series Sons of Anarchy. The motorcycle crime series aired from 2008 to 2014 and followed Jax Teller’s (Charlie Hunnam) rise to power over the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle gang. The Mayans M.C. was first introduced within that series as rivals of the Sons of Anarchy, before forming a less contentious relationship later on in the series. Mayans M.C. picks up two and a half years after the end of the Sons of Anarchy series and focuses on the titular motorcycle club. On the announcement of the new season in May 2021, Elgin James revealed:

What Is Mayans MC Season 4 About?
Season 1 of the show saw Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes freshly out of prison trying to rebuild his life. As the series has progressed, his ambition and his penchant for vengeance have meant the loss of his relationship with high-school sweetheart Gaby (Sulem Calderon), and have put the SP Mayans’ survival in danger. After coming up with the idea to align under one King, the chapter faces retaliation that is going to have major repercussions in Season 4. One of the biggest plot lines that will impact Season 4 from Season 3 is the killing of the leader of Meth Mountain, who was affiliated with the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle gang. This sets up what looks to be a historic war between the Mayans and SAMCRO. To see the results of the conflict, tune in to Mayans M.C. on April 19th on FX.
