There is a lot for the cast and crew of the hit STARZ series, BMF, to celebrate right now. After all, the third season of the show is now on the airwaves and the show has been granted a fourth season to continue the tale of the rise and fall of the Flenory family, and well… those are amazing accomplishments for certain. Because it is no easy task to be granted two seasons, much less one in this industry and well… the joy that comes from such wins, absolutely translated into the perfect celebration of all this good news.
​
For last night the Hollywood Athletic Club was host to the third season premiere of this magnificent series, and well… you can simply see the joy on the faces of the attendees from the photographs taken at this event. The kind that speaks to a job well done, of gratitude and outright pride for assembling such an amazing series that captivates so many, and well… to properly pay the cast and crew respect for all their hard work, here are a selection of photos, and a summary from that big night, as we plunge back into the world of BMF.

Inspired by true legends, “BMF” continues the story of brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, who rose through the illegal drug trade from the depths of poverty in Detroit to the heights of fame and fortune across America. In season three, Meech moves to Atlanta to expand their empire, facing rival crews and crossing paths with burgeoning hip-hop legends, while Terry holds down the fort in Detroit, facing formidable rivals, old and new.

“BMF” is executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson through his G-Unit Film and Television production company (Executive Producer of the “Power” Universe, “For Life,” and Hip Hop Homicides), alongside creator, executive producer, and Detroit native Randy Huggins (“Star,” “Rebel,” “Power”) with showrunner and executive producer Heather Zuhlke ("Power,"  "Southland.") Anthony Wilson and Anne Clements also serve as executive producers on the series. “BMF” is produced through Jackson’s G-Unit Film and Television production company in association with Lionsgate Television for STARZ. 

About “BMF” Season Three
“BMF” continues the story of the inspiring true legends, brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi), who founded one of the most influential crime families in the country, the Black Mafia Family. We parachute into the early '90s in season three, with Meech moving to Atlanta, hoping to grow the BMF empire in the south and rise to the top of the Atlanta drug scene. At the same time, Terry remains in the “D,” handling business there, not yet aware of all the dangers lurking around the corner. Charles Flenory (Russell Hornsby) and Lucille Flenory’s (Michole Briana White) marriage remains on the rocks, and Detective Bryant (Steve Harris), on probation from work, and Detective Jin (Kelly Hu) find themselves on opposite sides of the law, but might find common ground in their determination to take down BMF. Additionally, season three includes special guest stars recurring throughout the season, who cross paths with Meech and Terry in this next phase of their unbelievable journey.
