Season 3 of Mayans M.C. didn't start until March 2021 because of COVID-19 delays and precautions, but boy, was it worth the wait!  A few fan-favorite characters that were hardly featured during the first two seasons totally shined in Season 3 with some fantastic storylines. During Season 2, showrunner Kurt Sutter was fired from the series following an investigation into complaints about his behavior on set.
