It's the end of the road for EZ Reyes and the rest of the gang, as Mayan M.C. season 5 is set to be the final outing for the biker drama. The series is certainly going to go out in style, which should have fans plenty excited for what's to come.

A spinoff of Sons of Anarchy, Mayans M.C. was co-created by Kurt Sutter and Elgin James and has continued the legacy of its predecessor, offering viewers an entertaining mix of action, crime and drama. All of that certainly makes it one of the more anticipated TV shows ending its run in 2023.

But before it airs its final episodes, here is everything that you need to know about Mayans M.C. season 5.

Mayans M.C. season 5 plot

As the story of Mayans M.C. comes to a conclusion, here is a tease of what fans can expect with the official season 5 synopsis:

"Mayans M.C. follows the life of Ezekiel 'EZ' Reyes, president of the Mayans M.C. charter on the Cali/Mexi border. Once a golden boy with the American Dream in his grasp, EZ has now risen to lead his brother Angel and the Santo Padre M.C. in a bloody war against their rival Sons of Anarchy. Defending the California territory and patch begins to claim lives within the club and causes strain between EZ and Angel — as one brother devotes himself to the club and the other to family. Felipe attempts to heal these fractured bonds for the future of the Reyes family."
