Amanda LynneMayans MC Season 5 will be the last. The series will end its run on FX with the upcoming season, and fans will be forced to say goodbye to fan-favorite characters such as EZ, Angel, and the rest of the gang (via Variety). Of course, viewers are saddened by this news. Many wanted to see the series continue on for a few more seasons. However, it seems that Mayans didn’t have the staying power that it’s predecessor Sons of Anarchy did.
The shows’ creator Kurt Sutter was fired by Disney, who owns FX, during Season 2 of the series. The show’s co-creator, Elgin James, then took over. Sutter, who also created Sons of Anarchy had said that he always envisioned four parts to the MC storyline. The first being Sons and the second Mayans. The other two included a Sons prequel about the first nine members. The other, a sequel about Jax Teller’s sons (via Pop Culture).

“The truth is, the suits wanted me gone. I stepped on toes and bruised egos. And in this Disney regime, I’m dangerous to the wholesome brand. And clearly not worth the trouble. So 18 years of friendship, loyalty and producing quality television, was flushed down the drain,” Sutter said after his firing, per Deadline.
Now that Mayans is ending and Sutter has been fired, the franchise could be at risk of dying out. Fans have come to love the Mayans and the Sons of Anarchy so much, and would love to see more stories from that universe. However, things appear to be up in the air right now. However, actor Charlie Hunnam, who played Jax on SOA has teased interest in reprising the character.
What’s next for the franchise?
In a perfect world, fans would get to see Jax and EZ team up for some big battle. However, it seems unlikely. (Especially since Jax is presumed dead following the SOA finale). Only time will tell what the future has in store for Mayans MC and Sons of Anarchy characters.
For now, fans will just have to wait to see how EZ’s story ends when Mayans MC Season 5 beings airing. Although, now that we know it’s the final season, we do have to admit that we’re a bit worried for some of our favorite characters. (I mean, we already lost Coco!).
There’s no word on when Mayans MC Season 5 will debut on FX. So, stay tuned to TV DIspatch for updates as they come rolling in.
