January 18, 2023
Starz announced today that BMF has been picked up for a third season. The news comes two weeks into the drama's sophomore run, which premiered earlier this month after taking over a year off between seasons.
"BMF captures the essence of Detroit through elevated, gritty storytelling and our fans have passionately responded to this show more than ever before," said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming for Starz. "Following such a strong debut with season two, we're thrilled to continue to expand on the incredible story of the Flenory brothers as they change the game by writing their own rules. We can't wait to see what our extraordinary producers and cast deliver next."
Based on a true story, the hour-long series follows two brothers, Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory and Terry "Southwest T" Flenory, who rose from the streets of Detroit in the late 1980s and created one of America's most influential criminal enterprises known as the Black Mafia Family. The charismatic leadership of Big Meech and the business acumen of Southwest T allowed them to form a partnership with a vision beyond the drug trade and into the world of hip-hop.
