Mayans MC is the second installation of the Sons of Anarchy universe created by Kurt Sutter and Elgin James (co-creator, co-executive producer, writer) taking place four years after the events of the flagship series.
It follows Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes, a prospect in the never-before-seen Mayans MC Santo Padre charter on the Southern California/Mexico border.
On Tuesday, August 28, the Mayans MC cast took to the red carpet at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California, to celebrate the premiere of FX’s long-awaited motorcycle drama series. The event was held ahead of the show’s network debut in the United States on Tuesday, September 4, on FX.
Here are the highlights from the cast as they stepped on to the red carpet, before viewing the fruits of their labor.
The TCL Chinese Theatres official Twitter account live-tweeted the event, but not before appropriately setting the stage for cast arrivals.
