Written by John Edward BetancourtIt really is quite amazing, how the television landscape has changed during the spring season. For this was once a timeframe of the year where television shows and releases were very miniscule in nature. Simply because April was a great time to get back outside and enjoy nature and forget about television. But now, we consume television in unique ways, on our devices no less, and that allows for us no to enjoy delightful content on our way to our favorite hiking destination or on the way back from it. Which is why networks now offer solid programming year-round, to help us with our hybrid lives and STARZ is no exception to that rule. For they recently released their April 2024 Programming Lineup, and it is clearly designed to keep our minds busy in between moments where we are getting out into the world. Since this is the month where we get the highly anticipated series, Mary & George, starring Julianne Moore. Not to mention, the amazing third season of BMF continues along, and there are some amazing movie additions on the way. So, without further ado, here is that lineup, courtesy of STARZ, to help you plan ahead for your April viewing experience. ‘STARZ announces its programming highlights for the month of April, featuring the series premiere of “Mary & George” and new episodes of “BMF.” On the film front, Beast, Dear David, Halloween Ends, Saw X, and 8 Mile join the STARZ app this month.’ “STARZ Movies Hit Different” Promo“April Tentpoles” PromoSTARZ Original SeriesThe highly anticipated, audacious psychodrama “Mary & George” starring Academy Award-winner Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine is set to debut on Friday, April 5 at midnight on the STARZ app. On linear, it will debut on STARZ at 9:00 PM ET/PT in the U.S. and 10:00 PM ET/PT in Canada. New episodes will air all month long. The seven-part limited series is inspired by the unbelievable true story of Mary Villiers (Moore), who molded her beautiful and charismatic son, George (Galitzine), to seduce King James I (Tony Curran) and become his all-powerful lover. Through outrageous scheming, the pair rose from humble beginnings to become the richest, most titled and influential players the English court had ever seen, and the King’s most trusted advisors. And with England’s place on the world stage under threat from outside forces and rioters taking to the streets to denounce the King, the stakes could not have been higher. Prepared to stop at nothing and armed with her ruthless political steel, Mary married her way up the ranks, bribed politicians, colluded with criminals and clawed her way into the heart of the Establishment, making it her own. Mary & George is a dangerously daring historical psychodrama about an outrageous mother and son who schemed, seduced and killed to conquer the court of England and the bed of King James I.
“Black Mafia Family” (“BMF”) continues its third season with new episodes all month long. “BMF” recounts the inspiring true legends of two brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi), who rose from the decaying streets of southwest Detroit in the late 80’s and gave birth to one of the most influential crime families in the country known as the Black Mafia Family. Season three of the highly anticipated gripping crime and family drama continues on Fridays at midnight on the STARZ app. On linear, new episodes will debut on STARZ Fridays at 8:00 PM ET/PT in the U.S. and at 9:00 PM ET in Canada. This season we parachute into the early 90’s with Meech moving to Atlanta where Black excellence is prominent and Black businesses are thriving. Meech seeks 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. In Atlanta, he meets his new love interest, Angel (Kadianne Whyte), an exotic dancer. Terry remains in Detroit to take care of the business and his second child with girlfriend Lawanda (Sydney Mitchell), while juggling his ongoing affair with love interest Markisha (La La Anthony). Yet, as Meech expands BMF outside of Detroit and new local competition comes after Terry, both brothers take on enemies more ruthless in their ways than they have ever seen who threaten to destroy the whole empire. BMF continues to humanize the choices of the brothers’ business, and their pursuits of the American Dream.
