Mayans MC will wrap its second season tonight on FX, and fans have some good news about the future of the series ahead of the end of season two. FX has renewed the drama for a third season, which will air in 2020.

This news comes just weeks after the cable network fired Kurt Sutter, the man behind the popular series. Elgin James, the series co-creator, will be the showrunner for season three.

As for ratings, this series averages just slightly over one million viewers weekly. That is initial numbers reported by Nielsen. Mayans MC does even better when you add in other measurements.

“Mayans M.C. has been renewed for a third season, building on the strength of its current second season, it was announced today by Nick Grad, President, Original Programming, FX Entertainment. It was additionally announced that Co-Creator and Executive Producer Elgin James will serve as showrunner for the series’ third season, which is scheduled to return to FX in the fall of 2020.

“We’re happy to continue telling the story of Mayans M.C. with our partners at Fox 21 and excited that Elgin James has earned the opportunity to become the series’ showrunner,” said Grad. “Kurt Sutter identified and chose Elgin as his partner on the show from the outset and Elgin has been instrumental to the success of the series, leveraging his experience and creative vision to make Mayans M.C. with this incredible cast, crew and creative team.”

“Keeping this vibrant series strong is a huge priority to everyone at Fox 21 Television Studios, FX Productions and of course FX, which has been a spectacular home and platform for both Mayans M.C. and Sons before it,” commented Fox 21 TVS President Bert Salke.

After finishing 2018 as cable’s most-watched new series for the year in Adults 18-49, Mayans M.C. returned strong for its second season, currently ranking #6 in Adults 18-49 among the 172 cable scripted series in 2019 and in the Top 10 in all other key demos (Live+7).
