Mayans M.C. Has Strong Season 2 Premiere For FX

The boys of Mayans M.C. revved their engines for their season 2 premiere on FX and the series is already off to a solid start in year 2.

The season 2 premiere hit 1.4 million viewers in the adults 18-49 demographic and 2.8 million total viewers in Live+3. The premiere of the Sons of Anarchy spinoff snagged the #1 spot in primetime cable programming in all key adult and men demos.

Across all linear and non-linear platforms, the series hit 4.3 million total viewers and adding more to the good ratings news for the show was that the premiere is now ranked #3 in both Adults 18-49 and Adults 18-34 among all 141 scripted season premieres on cable in 2019. This puts the season two premiere in good company; right behind the final season premiere of HBO’s Game of Thrones and AMC’s The Walking Dead Season 9B Premiere.

In today’s television landscape it’s all about growth and Mayans definitely saw that with its season 2 premiere. The start of season 2 tops its season one debut last year which drew in 2.5 million viewers in the adults 18-49 demo, up +84% from its Live+same day, and 2.8 million adults 25-54 and 1 million Adults 18-34 in Live+3. The season one debut was the highest-rated cable series premiere of 2018 in the key demos.

Mayans M.C. stars JD Pardo, Clayton Cardenas, and Edward James Olmos and airs Tuesday’s at 10 PM ET/PT on FX.
