FX announced on Thursday that Mayans MC, the popular Sons of Anarchy spin-off, is returning for its fifth and final season on May 24. The new season will consist of 10 episodes, kicking off with a two-episode premiere.
The announcement came alongside a new Season 5 teaser which doesn't reveal much, but does deliver on people looking cool riding on motorcycles. Check it out below.
Mayans M.C. follows Ezekiel «EZ» Reyes, the president of the Mayans M.C. charter on the Cali/Mexi border. EZ has now risen to lead his brother Angel and the Santo Padre M.C. in a bloody war against their rival Sons of Anarchy. Defending the territory begins to claim lives within the club, and causes strain between EZ and Angel.
The series was renewed for Season 5 last July, not long after Season 4 concluded, and was later confirmed to be Mayans' last at the Television Critics Association winter press tour in January. Nick Grad, FX Entertainment’s president of original programming, said in a previous statement (via Deadline), «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.»
During the Season 4 finale, EZ invoked a years-old club rule that allowed him to overthrow Santo Padre’s sitting president, Marcus Alvarez. In a twist, EZ then named himself the charter's new president--with Bishop as his veep--and confirmed his intention to strike up a business relationship with drug queenpin Soledad. However, an anonymous arsonist has burned down the warehouse that stored Soledad's substantial heroin supply, and little does EZ know that his new position may put him in even more danger.
