Starz has given an early renewal to the hit drama series “BMF” for its fourth season, a day before the third season’s premiere. The show, also known as Black Mafia Family, has become one of Starz’s major successes, attracting an average of 10.6 million viewers across multiple platforms, according to the network.
The third season of “BMF” is set to debut on March 1 at midnight on the Starz app, followed by its linear network premiere at 8 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S. and 9 p.m. ET in Canada. Starz President of Programming, Kathryn Busby, expressed excitement about the audience’s reception, stating, “Fans can’t get enough of the history in the making that is ‘BMF.’”
The crime drama revolves around the Flenory 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.
Season 4 production is scheduled to commence in Atlanta this spring.
