After four seasons of crime, culture, and chaos, BMF has officially been canceled by Starz.
Starz confirmed that BMF will not return for a fifth season, bringing the hit drama’s run to a close. The series was inspired by the real-life rise of the Black Mafia Family in 1980s Detroit.
The hit show first premiered in 2021 and quickly became one of the network’s most-watched shows. Season 4, which recently wrapped, ended on a major cliffhanger, leaving fans with more questions than answers about the fates of Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (played by Lil Meech) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi).
50 Cent, who served as executive producer through his G-Unit Films & Television banner, didn’t hold back after the news broke. Instead of releasing a traditional statement, the media mogul took to Instagram with a meme showing actor Lil Meech holding a sign reading “Out of Work.”
He captioned the post: “What next season, lil n*a?” — a blunt jab that immediately sparked online buzz. Fans flooded the comments, half-laughing, half-lamenting the loss of one of Starz’s most popular franchises.
Despite the show’s cancellation, 50 Cent hinted that this might not be the last we see of BMF. He’s previously teased potential spinoffs or standalone projects connected to the universe, similar to how his Power franchise expanded into multiple successful series after its original run ended.
Given the show’s cult following and cultural impact, industry observers wouldn’t be surprised if BMF continues in some form — possibly under a new network or streaming platform.
