FX Renews MAYANS MC For Season 3

After co-creator and co-showrunner Kurt Sutter was fired from Mayans MC, FX has decided to renew it for a third season. This is a great show and for any of you who were fans of Sons of Anarchy, chances are you’d enjoy this show.

I’m happy to see that the story of these characters will continue, but it’ll be interesting to see how the series turns out without Sutter’s involvement. Will the show be the same without him? We’ll just have to wait and see. Sutter notified the cast and crew of the show of his exit in an email after several complaints were made about his behavior on the set of the series. Sutter explained that he had intentionally pulled back on his role in the show during its second season, but that strategy backfired on him. He wrote:

“It’s been reported by writers, producers, cast and crew that my absence and subsequent behavior when there, has only created confusion, chaos, hostility and is perceived as abandonment. Or at least that’s how Disney has interpreted it. I’m sure it’s true.”

Co-creator and executive producer Elgin James will serve as the sole showrunner for the third season, which is going to air in fall 2020. The season finale of Season 2 is set to air tonight. Nick Grad, president of original programming for FX Entertainment had this to say in a statement:

“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. 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.”

Are you happy to learn that FX is moving forward with Mayans MC Season 3? Do you think Sutter’s involvement will be missed?
