FX Renews Mayans MC For Second Season

Uproxx reports that FX has renewed the Sons of Anarchy spinoff Mayans MC for a second season. The show debuted last month to critical acclaim and ratings success. It leads in the top male demographics, as well as adults 18-49 and adults 25-54. It gets an average of eight million viewers per episode, a large number for a cable network. The showrunners are Kurt Sutter and Elgin James.

FX co-president Nick Grad said: “Mayans M.C. is performing fantastically, proving to be a breakout first season. The series premiered as the highest rated cable series this year and continues to sustain a committed fan base, reflecting the talent and drive of creators Kurt Sutter and Elgin James. We couldn’t be more excited to take this ride to a second season.”

James added: “It still feels like a dream that Kurt took a shot on me, and that every day I get to learn from him and work with our brilliant writers, cast and crew who pour their hearts, blood and sweat into bringing Mayans M.C. to life. I’m also grateful to FX, Fox 21 and FXP for their support and faith in me. I’m excited for the fans’ response to the rest of this season and I can’t wait to get back in the writers room and get to work on season two.“
