The drama returns on March 1, 2024. Here’s the official logline for the season: BMF continues the storyline of the inspiring true legends of brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi), who fostered one of the most influential crime families in the country known as Black Mafia Family. We parachute into the early 90s in Season 3 with Meech moving to Atlanta, where he hopes to build upon the BMF empire in the south that he and Terry fostered in Detroit and rise to the top of the Atlanta drug scene. At the same time, Terry remains in the “D” to handle business. Charles Flenory (Russell Hornsby) and Lucille Flenory’s (Michole Briana White) marriage remains on the rocks, and Detective Bryant (Steve Harris) and Detective Jin (Kelly Hu) return as partners often on opposite sides of the law who find common ground in their determination to take down BMF.

Joining the third season in recurring roles are Bechir Sylvain (Blindspotting); Taylor Sele (P-Valley); Kadianne Whyte (P-Valley); Ren King (Paw Patrol LIVE! The Great Pirate Adventure); Morgan Alexandria; Christopher B. Duncan; and Cedric Martin. Sydney Mitchell and Laila D. Pruitt also also returning in recurring roles.

BMF is executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson through his G-Unit Film and Television, 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 in association with Lionsgate Television for Starz.
