The stars of Mayans MC hit the stage for their panel discussion at the 2019 Summer TCA Press Tour on Tuesday (August 3) at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Show creator Keith Sutter attended the event alongside stars Elgin James, JD Pardo, Clayton Cardenas, Edward James Olmost, Sarah Bolger, Danny Pino, and Emilio Rivera as they promoted the upcoming new season of their FX show.
During the event, Keith defended the show’s violent scenes.
“This is a world that has the language of violence,” Keith said via Deadline. “We’re exploring these damaged characters in this dark world…Creatively it’s our job to tell human truth through fiction. The truth of violence is that it’s never gratuitous. It’s not pretty, not sexy and it always has consequences…Violence shatters humanity and that’s my job – to put it in story.”
The second season of Mayans MC will premiere on Tuesday, September 3 on FX.
