The third season of Mayans M.C., an American crime drama, premiered on FX, on March 16, 2021, and concluded on May 11, 2021.[1] The third season consisted of ten episodes and aired on Tuesdays in the United States on FX. Mayans M.C. is an American crime drama television series created by Kurt Sutter and Elgin James. The show takes place in the same fictional universe as Sons of Anarchy, and deals with the Sons' rivals-turned-allies, the Mayans Motorcycle Club.

Production

In November 2019, the series was renewed for a third season which premiered on March 16, 2021.[2] The season is the first without showrunner Kurt Sutter, who created Sons of Anarchy. President of original programming at FX Entertainment Nick Grad said; "We're happy to continue telling the story of Mayans MC with our partners at Fox 21 and excited that Elgin James has earned the opportunity to become the series' showrunner."[3][4]

The season is the first not to be distributed by 20th Television and instead is distributed by Disney-ABC Domestic Television due to the Disney-FOX merger in December 2017.
