FX has picked up MAYANS MC to series, ordering a 10-episode first season of the new drama series from Kurt Sutter and Elgin James, it was announced today by Nick Grad and Eric Schrier, Presidents of Original Programming for FX Networks and FX Productions. The first season will premiere on FX in 2018.
Mayans MC is the next chapter in the
SONS OF ANARCHY saga, Kurt Sutter's award-winning series that was the highest-rated ongoing drama series in
FX history for seven seasons. The Mayans were recurring and pivotal players in
SONS OF ANARCHY throughout the show's seven-year run.
"Kurt Sutter is a master storyteller and Mayans MC has the raw energy and intensity that are hallmarks of his signature style," said Grad. "Thanks to Kurt, co-creator Elgin James and this amazing cast, Mayans MC builds on the legacy of Sons of Anarchy, taking it in a thrilling new direction that we can't wait for the world to see."

GOLDEN BOY who had the American Dream within his grasp.
