It's been a long time since FX's Mayans M.C. closed out its second — and most recent — season. The Sons of Anarchy spin-off aired its season 2 finale back in November 2019, and the series hasn't aired a new episode since then.

Mayans M. C. Season 3: Release Date

FX has officially announced that Mayans M.C. season 3 will premiere Tuesday, March 16, at 10 p.m. EST/9 p.m. CST with two new back-to-back episodes. The 10-episode season's long-awaited premiere will arrive more than 16 months since the Mayans M.C. season 2 finale aired on November 5, 2019. The two premiere episodes of Mayans M.C. season 3 will also be available to stream on Hulu the day after their initial airing on FX, according to Looper.

In addition to the premiere date announcement, FX also released an official teaser trailer for Mayans M.C. season 3. The trailer itself doesn't offer much story-wise, but it does feature the titular biker gang — led by J.D. Pardo's Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes — riding through the desert together. Based on the trailer's song choice, which promises that "a new king will be crowned," it looks like EZ will only continue making a name for himself in the new season as well.

If you have cable, pat yourself on the back. Now would be a great time to use it. Since FX is a cable channel, you can watch the return of Mayans MC live. Make sure your TV is set to FX before 10 p.m. ET tonight and get to watching.

Mayans MC Season 3 episodes will come to Hulu the day after they air on FX, meaning episodes will arrive on Wednesday mornings on the streaming service, Decider reported.

Viewers who want to watch the episodes as they air, however, will be able to do so on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET/ 9 p.m. CT on FX. Mayans MC Season 3 will begin with a double bill of Episodes 1 and 2 of the show, "Pap Struggles with the Death Angel" and "The Orneriness of Kings," set to air on Tuesday, March 16. After that, episodes air once a week on Tuesdays.

Mayans MC Season 3 airing on Hulu means that some viewers are able to watch it online for free. The streamer still offers a 30-day free trial for new subscribers, giving viewers plenty of time to watch the first few episodes.

Mayans M. C. Season 3: Plot

The story takes place hundreds of miles away in Santo Padre. This place is located on the California border and is fictional. The main protagonist of the series is Ezekiel EZ Reyes, and we get to see all the struggles that he is going through. Also, you guys should know that he is a prospect in the charter of Mayans Motorcycle Club. Now, the camera follows his life as he is struggling in the plot in order to achieve his goal. All this guy had was an American dream, but that is no way out of his hands because of being involved in cartel violence, said Otakukart.

At times when we look at this character, it is witnessed that he is a proud son of a Mexican family. When the course of this show starts, we see that he just has revenge in his mind. Nothing is more fascinating to him than the vengeance that he had to take from the people who have ruined his whole mission. This is what makes a life for him that he has never imagined, and now that he has started out his journey on this track, he can not back out.

It is expected that a large majority of the core Mayans M.C. cast will be returning for the show's third season. That includes J.D. Pardo as Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes, Sarah Bolger as Emily, Michael Irby as Bishop, Clayton Cardenas as Angel, Danny Pino as Miguel, Ray McKinnon as Potter, Emilio Rivera as Alvarez, Carla Baratta as Adelita, Edward James Olmos as Felipe, Raoul Trujillo as Taza, and Richard Cabral as Coco.

There will, however, be a few key members from Mayans M.C.'s first two seasons that will not be returning for the third. Antonio Jaramillo and Ada Maris are not expected to appear in Mayans M.C. season 3, following the deaths of Riz and Dita in season 2.

Given the events of the Season 2 finale, there is also the potential for a handful of Sons of Anarchy stars to make some surprise appearances in Mayans M.C.'s third season — so keep an eye out for that Sons of Anarchy fans.

What will Mayans M. C. Season 3 be about?

Mayans M.C. will pick up a few months after the violent events of the show's season 2 finale. J.D. Pardo's EZ Reyes is now a fully patched member of Mayans M.C. and will spend the season not only working to find a solid place for himself within the club but also struggling to come to terms with some of his actions in the previous season.

Showrunner Elgin James also teased to EW that the third season will, apparently, see EZ "torn between darkness and the gravitational pull of his new love interest." Meanwhile, season 3 of Mayans M.C. promises to be a difficult one for Clayton Cardenas' Angel, who will be stuck in a spiral of "sex, booze, and violence" until a surprising "shot at redemption" presents itself to him.
