What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Biker boys

Mayans M.C.

Shut up, Dee! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, July 19!

Our Top Pick tonight is the series finale of Mayans M.C. (FX, 10 p.m. / Hulu, Thursday). This motorcycle gang spinoff/adjacent-series of Sons of Anarchy closes up shop after 5 seasons(!!) and 50 episodes. It has provided work for Edward James Olmos and Danny Pino, among other Latino actors. Dana Delaney is a recurring character in this last season. Mayans and Sons aren't closely tied together but this final season has seen some Sons characters appear -- including Happy Lowman.

Elsewhere, Teen Mom is back yet again, Nick Fury still needs to stop that InvasionAfterparty goes film noir, Nancy Drew marks an anniversary, ABC throws a CMA Fest, human have left a Footprint on dogs, and It's Always high blood pressure in Philadelphia.
