What to Expect From ‘BMF’ Season 4?

BMF Season 4 takes place around the mid 90s, as Terry and Meech continue expanding the BMF criminal enterprise to Los Angeles while navigating the fallout from an operation in Mexico. After months in Mexico with his friend and supplier Loco (Roberto Sanchez), Meech returns to Atlanta, where flashbacks reveal key moments from his time abroad. A shaman’s prophecy claims he’s destined to be a legend, fueling his belief in a grand fate and his determination to leave a mark.

Meanwhile, Terry grapples with balancing business and family in Detroit while navigating his complicated relationship with the cunning Markisha (La La Anthony). As he struggles with being in Meech’s shadow, his attempts to gain control over the competition could lead to disastrous consequences that endanger both of their lives and livelihoods.

The Flenory brothers are also laying the groundwork for a legitimate front by building their own hip hop music label—a move aimed at laundering money and securing influence in the entertainment industry. Season 4 will explore the deeper emotional toll of power, particularly as Meech and Terry’s brotherly bond is tested by greed, mistrust and ambition.

Viewers can also expect more character development, especially for the women in the series, who are stepping into more complex and empowered roles. With shocking twists, explosive conflicts and high-stakes drama, BMF Season 4 promises to deliver one of its most thrilling chapters yet.

What is ‘BMF’ About?

BMF (Black Mafia Family) is a STARZ original crime drama that tells the gripping, dramatized true story of the Flenory brothers — Demetrius Flenory Jr., or “Big Meech,” and Terry Flenory, AKA “Southwest T” — as they build one of the most powerful drug trafficking organizations in American history.

Set in 1980s and 1990s Detroit, the series explores not only the rise of their empire and their efforts to stay at the top, but also the deeply personal and emotional struggles that come with it. Beyond the guns, money and drugs, BMF dives into family loyalty, betrayal and the tantalizing danger of wealth and power.

As the Flenory’s expand their operation beyond Detroit into major cities like Atlanta and LA (as we will see in the upcoming season), they face various challenges from local law enforcement and police presence, rival crews, and perhaps most importantly, the enemies within themselves. The series is celebrated for its authentic portrayal of Black culture during a pivotal period in American history, offering compelling performances and emotionally charged narratives. BMF continues to stand out as one of the top crime dramas on television, earning critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase.
