It should come as no surprise that BMF season 3 was announced by Starz early in 2023, literally not long after the BMF season 2 premiere. The hit series is inspired by the real-life rise to power of brothers Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory (Demetrius 'Lil Meech' Flenory) and Terry "Southwest T" Flenory (Da'Vinchi) in Detroit during the 80s. Through an illicit drug business, they were able to build a powerful criminal enterprise, which of course was peppered with danger for not only them but those caught in their world. 

After last season saw the Flenory family fall victim to various temptations as it pertains to matters of lust and love, and famous comedian and actress Mo’Nique shake up the BMF canvas as Goldie,  fans are eagerly waiting to see what happens next. 

With that said, here’s everything we know about BMF season 3.

BMF season 3 plot

Not much has been mentioned about what happens next in the new season of the show. However, in an interview with Variety, series showrunner Heather Zuhlke stated of season 3:

"What you’re going to see is the fallout and somatically all of our characters are in a season of reinvention across the board – Charles, Lucille, Meech, Terry, Bryant and Jin. There’s consequences to all these things. So you’re going to see all of that dramatized moving forward."
