BMF Season 3 Renewal Status
Are you prepared to swear allegiance to the Black Mafia Family? The good news is here, as the Starz network has renewed the drama series after the second season premiered its first three episodes. As highlighted by Deadline, “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 the cast deliver next.”
We would like to bring attention to the fact that the exact launch date has yet to be determined, as the series was recently renewed by the network. However, if we had to guess, the show would most likely have a release window suggested to be around the early months of the 2024 television season. Only if the production of the episodes starts and concludes in a timely manner. Additionally, it is expected to follow a similar time slot, with new episodes dropping on a weekly basis every Friday at the same time slot on Friday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the respective streaming platforms.

BMF Season 3: What to expect?
The series is expected to continue and explore the plot further from the second season which dramatizes the inspiring true story of two brothers who gave birth to the Black Mafia Family. The brothers strategically execute a new vision. The season starts with Meech and Terry at odds. Meech wants to expand the business beyond Detroit, while Terry is focused on school and launching a legitimate car-ride service with his Pops. But as the season unfolds, the streets implode and the brothers must weigh their options.
Along the way, they form an alliance with Goldie (Mo’Nique), a sophisticated Atlanta strip club owner, who helps Meech lay the groundwork for his future. Expanding beyond Detroit to Lansing, Ohio, and even the South, the brothers face nearly insurmountable obstacles, are confronted with a shocking discovery about a member of their own crew, and battle for every inch of territory.
The main cast members of the series who are expected to reprise their roles from the second season are as follows Russell Hornsby as Charles Flenory, Demetrius Flenory Jr. as Demetrius “Meech” Flenory, Da’Vinchi as Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, Michole Briana White as Lucille Flenory, Eric Kofi-Abrefa as Lamar Silas, Ajiona Alexus as Kato, Myles Truitt as B-Mickie, Steve Harris as Detective Bryant, La La Anthony as Markaisha Taylor, and Kelly Hu as Detective Veronica Jin.
