Truly, there are but a few shows out there, that have captivated audiences as deeply as BMF has over the past couple of years, and understandably so. For this STARZ series simply sucked us in with its fascinating retelling of the last great crime family in America. One borne out of the city of Detroit and watching Terry and Meech’s journey toward the top has been simply fascinating and powerful, and it has in fact… also explored in stunning detail, what it takes to create a crime family in America, and what kind of mistakes and successes these men lamented and enjoyed before reaching the absolute top. And this story has done such an incredible job of drawing us in, that fans are desperate for more. Because we simply want to know about every moment, and what their best days looked like and how such an empire fell in a nation where crime doesn’t always pay. And we of course, want more of the compelling writing this show offers and the amazing performances to boot, and STARZ understands that and graced fans of this show with quite the gift today. For earlier, STARZ let be it known that Season Three of this dynamic and revered series will debut on Friday, March 1, 2024, and to properly bring this announcement to life, STARZ did so via a preview of things to come on the network. And since you’re eager to see what comes next for Terry and Meech, here is that teaser and all the details regarding today’s announcement… as we begin the long and winding countdown to season three of this incredible show. ‘STARZ announced today that the highly anticipated third season of its hit drama “BMF” will debut on Friday, March 1, 2024. The announcement comes in a new teaser featuring sneak peeks of upcoming returning fan-favorite series on STARZ, which will roll out consistently through late Spring, offering viewers non-stop action-packed drama. New episodes of “BMF” will be available Fridays at midnight ET/PT on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms, and internationally on the LIONSGATE+ premium streaming platform in the U.K. and Ireland. On linear, each will debut on STARZ at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S. and Canada. Season three of “BMF” resumes the storyline inspired by brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi), who established one of the most infamous crime families in the country known as, Black Mafia Family. We kick off Season Three in the early ’90s when the Flenory Family has reinvented themselves. Meech has moved to Atlanta on a mission to build up the BMF empire in the south that he and Terry created in Detroit. The series continues to humanize the choices of the brothers’ business and their pursuits of the American Dream. “BMF” is executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson through his G-Unit film and television (Executive Producer of the “Power” Universe, “For Life,” and Hip Hop Homicides), alongside showrunner, executive producer, writer, and Detroit native Randy Huggins (“Star,” “Rebel,” “Power”) and interim showrunner and executive producer Heather Zuhlke. Anthony Wilson and Anne Clements also serve as executive producers on the series. “BMF” is produced through Jackson’s G-Unit Film and Television in association with Lionsgate Television for STARZ.
