Starz Cancels ‘BMF’ After Four Seasons

Starz points to season four underperformance tied to its cost‑conscious programming strategy.

Overview

  • Season four, which aired June through August, now stands as the final run, concluding the series without resolving every storyline.
  • CEO Jeffrey Hirsch previously flagged the latest season’s weak results on an earnings call, noting modest sequential declines in OTT subscribers and revenue.
  • Sources say multiple spinoff projects discussed by executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson remain in development despite the flagship’s end.
  • Reporting notes tension involving 50 Cent and the real-life Big Meech during later seasons, though outlets say it was not cited as a reason for the cancellation.
  • The Lionsgate TV drama, which premiered in 2021 and starred Demetrius Flenory Jr. and Da’Vinchi, chronicled the rise of Detroit’s Black Mafia Family.
