The second season of Mayans M.C., an American crime drama, premiered on FX, on September 3, 2019, and concluded on November 5, 2019. The second season consisted of ten episodes and aired on Tuesdays in the United States on FX.[1] Mayans M.C. is an American crime drama television series created by Kurt Sutter and Elgin James. The show takes place in the same fictional universe as Sons of Anarchy, and deals with the Sons' rivals-turned-allies, the Mayans Motorcycle Club.

Production

In October 2018, it was announced that FX had renewed the series for a second season. In August 2019, series co-creator and executive producer Kurt Sutter announced that he would leave the series if it was renewed for a third season. Sutter said: "It's time for the white man to leave the building."[2][3] In October 2019, Sutter was removed from his position as co-showrunner on Mayans M.C. while its second season was still airing.[4] Sutter believes that his jokes about Disney after the Disney-Fox merger is what led to his dismissal.[5][6]

Casting

Series co-creator Kurt Sutter had expressed interest in bringing in more characters from Mayans' predecessor Sons of Anarchy.[7]
