Mayans M.C. Renewed for Season 3 by FX

The Sons of Anarchy spinoff Mayans M.C. has been renewed for season 3, according to the latest reports. FX Networks has committed to another season of the show following the dismissal fo SoA creator Kurt Sutter from the spinoff series last week, though Sutter was in fact scheduled to depart Mayans anyway in season 3. This will be good news for fans as we head in the Mayans M.C. season 2 finale tonight (at the time of writing this), as the ending of the sophomore season is clearly going to set the stage for wild (and likely violent) season 3, which we can now be assured is coming.
