Is the Ride Over for 'Mayans M.C.' or Did the FX Spinoff Get Renewed for Season 4?

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. 

After Kurt's dismissal, Elgin James was promoted by the network as showrunner to continue the story of Ezekiel "EZ" Reyes (JD Pardo) in the California / Mexico border, attempting to ease old tensions with brother Angel (Clayton Cardenas). Elgin was Kurt's co-creator and executive producer of the show. Season 3 of the Mayans M.C. has been one of FX's highest-rated series, but did Kurt's departure affect the show's quality?

After the announcement that the series was renewed for Season 4, JD and Clayton tweeted their excitement and thanked their fans. JD tweeted, "Thank you so much for the love and support! This show is about you the fans. Even though we have gone through many twists and turns, you have stuck by us through it all.
