At the panel, they talked about the upcoming season two and what is expected for their characters. For JD Pardo, it is about how easily his character EZ falls into his position and club life. He wants to belong and be a part of something. Since being released from prison, EZ has to find his way in this new life. He lost the love of his life, betrayed his brother, and is now on a quest to find the killer of his mother. “There is no turning back.” Each character has layers that we have yet to see, and Danny Pino (Miguel Galindo) enjoys his characters range. They also had some fun when mentioning Gino Vento’s (Nestor, Galindo’s right hand man) “incredible” hair from season one. It was also hinted that there is a chance that some more members of Sons of Anarchy could make an appearance.
Sarah Bolger (Emily Thomas) talks about her character going from an in-love teen with plans, to becoming Galindo’s wife and a mother. In season one she was more of a bystander, but in season two we see her, like EZ, settle into her new role quickly.
"Emily was somewhat of an innocent bystander last year. But I think for season two what we're going to realize is the choices that she made were hard. And we may see her settle into her [new] role too easily."- Sarah Bolger on Emily's journey in the new season #MayansFX

"If you liked season one, season two is a lot darker," warns Edward James Olmos #MayansFX
