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.
