Mayans MC is set in the same universe as Sons of Anarchy, but it follows one of its rival gangs. Fans have grown to know and love Ezekial (EZ) Reyes, his brother Angel, and the rest of the motorcycle gang over the years.

Many fans are understandably disappointed that the series is coming to an end. However, JD Pardo, who plays EZ, assured fans that the decision to end at Mayans MC Season 5 was made collaboratively.

“This was a creative decision that we made together,” the actor wrote on Twitter. “I will address this with a little more thought when I get a moment. We are on set filming Season 5 right now. Can’t wait for you all to see what’s in store this season! Much love to you all!”

Pardo continued: “I’ve been killed off of shows, had shows canceled, etc. This is different because the decision is ours. I have no regrets. I just have love and gratitude for the fans and the opportunity we were given.”
