Looking at Hulu
Despite the presence of many new faces in the BMF cast, the Starz original series instantly offered a refreshing departure from the usual predictable crime dramas on television. Produced by rapper and actor 50 Cent's company, G-Unit Films and Television, BMF adds another impressive credit to his extensive filmography, as he not only served as a producer but also played a significant role in Power, another popular crime drama on the Starz network. With the latest season of BMF ending on a suspenseful note, the exhilarating yet unsettling journey of Meech and Terry as they climb the ranks of power holds great potential, which can be further explored in season 3. Exciting news about BMF season 3 promises exactly that.
BMF Season 3 Latest News
BMF Season 3 Is Confirmed
The latest update on BMF season 3 reveals that filming for the season concluded on June 30, 2023 as per Hot New Hip Hop. The confirmation was made by Flenory Jr. himself on social media, who announced the completion of filming. While Flenory Jr. did not disclose any details about the upcoming season's plot or what to anticipate, this announcement provides a rough estimation for the release of Black Mafia Family season 3, expected to be in early 2024.
Starz officially confirmed the renewal of BMF for season 3 on January 18, 2023. The second season of BMF came to a close on March 17, 2023 with an appropriately titled finale episode called "New Beginnings". Even before this conclusion, the announcement for season 3 had already been made. Starz had made the decision to order the third installment for production while season 2 was still airing in January 2023 (as reported by Pop Sugar). Despite his involvement in other projects, including being cast in The Expendables 4, 50 Cent managed to reprise his role as executive producer, demonstrating his commitment to the series.
BMF Season 3 Release Date
BMF made its debut on Starz in September 2021, and the highly anticipated season 2 premiered in January 2023, leaving a 16-month gap between the two seasons. If Starz follows a similar production schedule, viewers can expect Black Mafia Family season 3 to be released in early 2024. However, neither the Starz executives nor the show creator Randy Huggins have provided any official statements regarding the potential release date for BMF season 3. Similarly, 50 Cent has also remained silent about the release of the new season. With production on BMF season 3 already concluded, it is possible that the series could air in late 2023 or early 2024.
BMF Season 3 Cast
The focal point of BMF's storyline revolves around the Flenory brothers, making it certain that Flenory Jr and Terry, portrayed by Da'Vinchi, will make a comeback. Unfortunately, Monique's untimely demise in BMF season 2 means that Kash Doll won't be part of BMF season 3. As for the remaining cast members, whether Eric Kofi-Abrefa will return as Lamar remains uncertain, as his character appeared to lose consciousness after abusing crack cocaine, leaving his fate hanging in the balance.
BMF regulars Steve Harris (Diary of a Mad Black Woman, The Practice) and Kelly Hu (The Scorpion King, Arrow) will face similar challenges in the upcoming season. Harris's character, Bryant, will face consequences for his son's violent actions and lose his badge. However, he may return with different motivations. Hu's character, Jin, will need to mend her relationship with Bryant. Additionally, the returning cast will include Russell Hornsby (In Treatment, Fences) as Charles, the brothers' adulterous father, and Michole Briana White (Atlanta, Malignant) as Lucille, their strong-willed mother.
In addition to the cast updates, there will be celebrity cameos in BMF season 3. Rapper 2 Chainz and R&B singer Ne-Yo have signed on as guest stars, joining the ranks of other artists who have made appearances in the show, such as Snoop Dogg and Eminem. The new season may also include non-musical personalities, following in the footsteps of previous seasons featuring Mo'Nique and Jalen Rose.
BMF Season 3 Story Details
50 Cent's previous Starz series, Power, showcased his role as the ruthless gangster Kanan. However, Power Book III: Kanan, the prequel, delved into Kanan's backstory and how he initially became involved in a life of crime. In contrast to the Power franchise, 50 Cent now has the opportunity to present a real-life story with BMF. Season 2 of BMF only scratched the surface of the main characters' adult criminal activities, leaving room for further exploration before reaching the point where Meech and Terry likely plead guilty in 2007. As BMF has thus far covered the events of the 1980s, there remains a significant time period yet to be addressed.
Moving forward, the plot for BMF season 3 can seamlessly continue from the successful endeavors of Meech and Terry in the previous season's finale. With Detective Bryant no longer a threat, it is hopeful that the brothers will enjoy a respite from law enforcement. Throughout season 2, the duo worked towards establishing BMF as a reputable criminal enterprise, and it appears that they have achieved some initial success. In addition, with B-Mickie expelled from the organization, it is likely that the Black Mafia Family will expand by recruiting new members in the upcoming season 3 storyline.
Starz' original programming president, Kathryn Busby, alluded to significant surprises in store for BMF season 3 as well. In her statement to Deadline, Busby expressed her excitement in delving further into the captivating narrative of the Flenory brothers, as they redefine the rules and revolutionize the game. While she refrains from revealing specific plot points for season 3 of BMF, Busby tantalizingly hints at substantial shifts in the dynamics of the Black Mafia Family, unequivocally raising the stakes.
