OK I love everyone and dislike everyone equally I don't give a crap what you look like if youre a decent person but I do get tired of peopke putting me down and puttingbkane on my race like we started racism and slavery. But what I really hate is when a show like this uses time in an episode to spread lies as bout war. The war wasn't fought on the backs of black men. Only 12.5%of the sd soldiers were black. 85%of the soldiers on the front lines were white. My grandfather fought in the Korean War and WW2. He retired from the Airforce after the Korean war after retiring from the Army after fighting in WW2 and one thing I remember was him saying this. He sd" war makes you look at thean on your right and left a lot differently. He SD nothing mattered but their ability to fight well, and hold their position. He SD black white Asian Hispanic it didn't matter. They were all the same,"grunts and they were your buddies. You look out for your buddy, you love your buddy because he may be the guy that's takes or gives a bullet that saves your life and iwhen that happens you're not woiried lwgat he looks like. I'm sorry black people habe been treated the w as y they habe but it 2024and all I see now is black peopke gettubg played as favorites. And being more racist than even white people and don't give me that sht about black poc can't be racist. Cause it's bs. It has nothing to do with race really. It's All hate produced by fear and resentment. Leave the crutch behind bwcauae it makes you look weak. Is it because I'm black. Well are you ad now and is it because I'm white.

The Flenory brothers will see a third season.
Shortly after its Season 2 premiere on Jan. 6, Starz has ordered a third installment for “BMF.” The premium cabler made the announcement on Tuesday, sharing that the drama series ranked as the most socially engaged drama across all networks over premiere weekend with 4.1 million multiplatform viewers.
“’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 cast deliver next.”
The story serves as a dramatic retelling of Detroit’s notorious brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi), who grew up in the ruthless streets of southwest Detroit in the late ’80s and eventually became one of the country’s most prolific crime families in the country, Black Mafia Family.
“BMF” is executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson alongside showrunner, executive producer, writer and Detroit native Randy Huggins (“Star,” “Rebel,” “Power”). 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. Senior Vice President of Original Programming Kathryn Tyus-Adair is the executive overseeing “BMF” on behalf of STARZ. Erin Conroy oversees the series on behalf of Lionsgate.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson shared plans to expand the BMF universe with three spinoffs at the show’s Season 2 premiere on Thursday night in Los Angeles. Jackson teased the universe will be dubbed “BMF Immortal.”
It’s early days yet and planning is ongoing, Deadline hears. Titles and details regarding the focus of the spinoffs will be announced at a later date.
Even though Jackson did not renew his exclusive deal with Starz in September, both remain committed to creating content that connects culturally like BMF and the Power Universe series.
A source at the Season 2 soiree shared with Deadline that the network is invested in Jackson who has a proven track record as a producer who resonates with audiences in a big way. Their collaborations continue to bring in solid viewership numbers, so Starz and Curtis’ G-Unit Film & TV will continue to look for ways to expand the storytelling.
EXCLUSIVE: BMF executive producer Heather Zuhlke will take over as interim showrunner of the drama series beginning with Season 3.
Series creator Randy Huggins will be taking a step back following an unexpected health complication. Production will continue to keep Randy engaged in all things BMF to ensure the show’s vision remains the same.
Huggins and his family shared personal videos at the celebration of his progress as well as a behind-the-scenes look at him during the filming of Season 2. A tribute video from the cast, crew, and executives followed who cheered for their leader who is deeply missed as he continues on his health journey.Huggins and his family shared personal videos at the celebration of his progress as well as a behind-the-scenes look at him during the filming of Season 2.

Stepping in as interim showrunner on BMF is bittersweet for Zuhlke, who remembers working so closely with Huggins on the series with Deadline. She tenderly recalled how he always called her “his right hand” when they collaborated on the first two seasons of Black Mafia Family and how much fun they had together. She said she looks forward to working with him again when he’s ready, words that were echoed by multiple sources at the soiree.
Season 2 of BMF premieres on Friday, January 6, 2023.

EXCLUSIVE: Saturday Night Live alum Leslie Jones has been tapped for a key recurring role in the upcoming second season of Starz’s BMF, from executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (Power franchise) and writer/executive producer and Detroit native Randy Huggins (Star). She is the latest in a growing list of strong female characters in Season 2, including La La Anthony, who was recently upped to series regular, along with new series regular Kelly Hu and Christine Horn, who recurs.
Jones will play Federal Agent Tracy Chambers. Smart and calculating, Chambers knows how to maneuver the bureaucracy that comes with carrying a badge. Years on the streets facing the most dangerous drug dealers have shaped her into a formidable hard charger. She suffers no fools and has a wicked wit to back it up.
La La Anthony (The Chi), who recurred in the first season of Starz’s drama series BMF, has been promoted to series regular for Season 2. Kelly Hu (The Scorpion King) also joins as a series regular and Christine Horn (Snowfall) will recur in the series from executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (Power franchise) and writer/executive producer and Detroit native Randy Huggins (Star).
Anthony will reprise her role as Markisha Taylor, who will have an expanded storyline in the second season. Markisha is the smart, sophisticated and street savvy wife of a powerful Detroit dealer. Despite the risk, Terry begins to pursue her relentlessly and they develop a friendship.
Hu will play Detective Veronica Jin, a smart, complex and tough cop out on the streets. Jin’s emotional journey is both universal and unique as she is a product of the American Dream shaped by her Chinese immigrant parents, but unique because Jin becomes the only Asian American, female detective in the murder capital of the world in the ‘80s.
Horn will portray Mabel Jones, a trusted friend and neighbor to the Flenory family. Despite her vivacious facade, the Flenory’s will discover there’s more to Mabel than what meets the eye.
Starz has greenlighted a BMF documentary series from Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, executive producer and creative force behind the network’s breakout hit drama series BMF.

The series will be directed by Nicholson and Chris Frierson (The King).
BMF (aka Black Mafia Family), the scripted series inspired by the true story of brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi), currently averages 6.5 million multiplatform views per episode.
