edit

Mayans M.C. takes place two and a half years after the events of Sons of Anarchy[1] and is set hundreds of miles away, in the fictional California border town of Santo Padre. The series focuses on the struggles of Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes, a prospect in the Mayans M.C. charter.

Now, his need for vengeance drives him toward a life he never intended and can never escape.[2]

When naming episodes, creators Kurt Sutter and Elgin James are utilizing what each episode features, and/or which symbolic animal will be present in that episode.[27]
