Godfather of Harlem’s second season was EPIX’s best-performing season of all time, and the series broke records for single title streams in one day across EPIX’s digital platforms. Additionally, the season two finale was EPIX’s best-performing finale episode to date.

“Godfather of Harlem is that rare show that is both addictively entertaining and deeply relevant,” expressed Michael Wright, president of EPIX when the crime drama was initially renewed for season three. “Forest Whitaker, Chris Brancato, and Paul Eckstein have crafted a series that deserves all the acclaim it has received, and it grows more compelling every season.”

“I’m thrilled to be returning to my show, working alongside our truly incredible cast, crew, and writers, as we tell this unique and powerful story,” added Whitaker. ” I can’t wait to get back to set, and thank Michael Wright, EPIX, ABC Signature, and our dedicated fans for their support.”
