‘BMF’ Renewed For Fourth Season Ahead Of Season 3 Premiere

BMF has been renewed for a fourth season at Starz ahead of its Season 3 premiere on Friday, March 1. Production on season four is slated to begin this spring in Atlanta.

Season 3 continues the story of true legends, brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi), who founded one of the most influential crime families in the country, the Black Mafia Family.

Season 3 picks up in the early ’90s, with Meech moving to Atlanta, hoping to grow the BMF empire in the south and rise to the top of the Atlanta drug scene. At the same time, Terry remains in the “D,” handling business there, not yet aware of all the dangers lurking around the corner. Charles Flenory (Russell Hornsby) and Lucille Flenory’s (Michole Briana White) marriage remains on the rocks, and Detective Bryant (Steve Harris), on probation from work, and Detective Jin (Kelly Hu) find themselves on opposite sides of the law, but might find common ground in their determination to take down BMF. Additionally, season three includes special guest stars recurring throughout the season, who cross paths with Meech and Terry in this next phase of their journey.

“Fans can’t get enough of the history in the making that is BMF,” said Kathryn Busby, President of Programming for Starz. “We’re thrilled to start working on a new season that will continue bold storytelling of the legend of the Flenory brothers that has proven to resonate so deeply with our viewers.”

The series also stars La La Anthony as “Markisha,” Sydney Mitchell as “LaWanda” and Laila D. Pruitt as “Nicole Flenory.” Special guest stars include Dominique “Lil Baby” Jones making his acting debut as “Payne,” Ne-Yo as “Rodney ‘Greeny’ Green,” 2 Chainz as “Stacks,” Saweetie as “Keeya” and Cynthia Bailey as “Gloria.”

BMF is executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson through his G-Unit Film and Television production company, alongside creator, executive producer, and Detroit native Randy Huggins with showrunner and executive producer Heather Zuhlke. Anthony Wilson and Anne Clements also serve as executive producers on the series. “BMF” is produced through Jackson’s G-Unit Film and Television production company in association with Lionsgate Television for Starz.
