BMF Season 4: Everything we know so far about the upcoming season

By Aman Shukla Published on June 6, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated June 6, 2025, 11:30 IST The Starz crime drama BMF (Black Mafia Family) has captivated audiences with its gripping portrayal of the Flenory brothers' rise in the drug trade. After a thrilling Season 3, fans are eagerly awaiting BMF Season 4. Here's everything we know about the upcoming season. Release Date BMF Season 4 is set to premiere on Friday, June 6, 2025, on Starz. New episodes will air weekly at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on the Starz linear platform and will be available to stream at midnight on the Starz app and other on-demand platforms like Hulu with Live TV and Lionsgate Plus (for UK viewers). The announcement follows the success of Season 3, which averaged nearly 10 million multiplatform viewers, signaling strong anticipation for the new season. Cast The core cast of BMF Season 4 is expected to return, bringing continuity to the story of the Black Mafia Family. Key returning actors include: Demetrius Flenory Jr. as Demetrius 'Big Meech' Flenory, portraying his real-life father. Da'Vinchi as Terry 'Southwest T' Flenory, Meech's brother and business partner. Russell Hornsby as Charles Flenory, the brothers' father. Michole Briana White as Lucille Flenory, their mother. La La Anthony as Markaisha Taylor, Terry's love interest and aspiring business partner. Steve Harris as Detective Von Bryant, determined to take down BMF. Kelly Hu as Detective Veronica Jin, Bryant's partner. Laila D. Pruitt as Nicole Flenory, the Flenorys' younger sister. Myles Truitt as B-Mickie, a childhood friend and BMF member, returning after a Season 3 absence. Eric Kofi-Abrefa as Lamar Silas, Meech's rival, also returning after missing Season 3. Plot Details BMF Season 4 will pick up in the early 1990s, following the Flenory brothers as they expand their drug empire beyond Detroit. The season will explore their ventures in Atlanta, St. Louis, Los Angeles, and even Mexico, where they face violent confrontations with rival organizations. A teaser trailer highlights a dramatic trip south of the border, where Meech and Terry narrowly escape death, an event that will 'change them forever.' According to the official synopsis, Meech learns of a prophecy predicting his continued rise in the drug trade, fueling his belief in his invincibility—potentially to his detriment. The brothers' relationship will be tested as they navigate rivalries, law enforcement, and personal ambitions. Meanwhile, Markaisha seeks to establish herself as a serious player in Terry's business, while Lucille and Charles grapple with the emotional and financial fallout of their divorce while co-parenting Nicole, who introduces new challenges. Detective Bryant, still reeling from the loss of his son, channels his grief into an intensified pursuit of BMF. The season will delve deeper into the Black Mafia Family's expansion, blending real-life events with fictional drama. As the real BMF wasn't dismantled until the early 2000s, Season 4 may include time jumps to bring the story closer to its conclusion or continue to explore the 1990s in detail. Fans can expect high-stakes action, intricate family drama, and the brothers' pursuit of the 'American Dream' through their criminal empire. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

UFC champ Jon Jones teases plan to not fight Tom Aspinall and 'give up the belt freely'

UFC champ Jon Jones teases plan to not fight Tom Aspinall and 'give up the belt freely' Overnight tweet storm may mean nothing, and may mean everything. Unfortunately, my boy is not as special as his fan base thinks he is right now. I've seen Tom get tapped out twice now by two different people. Time will show. Here today gone tomorrow. — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 An overnight tweet storm from Jon Jones may have given the MMA world the best clue yet about his future in the cage. Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC), the UFC's heavyweight champion and a former longtime light heavyweight champ, leaned into the narrative from fans that he's ducking a title unification bout with interim champion Tom Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC). There has been growing discontent in the MMA community over Jones' apparent unwillingness to line up a fight with Aspinall, to the point there's a petition urging the UFC to strip him of his title. Aspinall tried to steer the story toward Jones being retired earlier this week, and in Jones' tweets, he did little to dispel that theory. When a fan asked Jones how he would beat Aspinall if they fought, Jones replied: "By not even giving him the chance." Moments earlier, he mocked the longtime idea that he's ducking Aspinall by calling himself "Duck boy" and announcing he was about to give "one big fat FU to the haters." Jones said, among other things: at 37, his body hurts everywhere; he hasn't trained since he beat Stipe Miocic in November 2024; it's in the UFC's best interest to keep him champion, not Aspinall; he can't have his title stripped because he'd vacate it freely. He also gave other fighters lessons in building their legacies by saying "your legacy isn't your last move." Jones, regarded by many as the best pound-for-pound fighter in history – particularly, of late, his boss, UFC CEO Dana White – has fought eight times in the past 10 years. One of those fight was overturned for a positive steroids test. He has four decision wins in that time. Since he arrived in the UFC five years ago, Aspinall is 8-1. The one loss was in 15 seconds when he blew out his knee against Curtis Blaydes in July 2022 and suffered a TKO without getting touched. He avenged that loss in 2024 in 60 seconds. All eight of his wins in the UFC have been finishes, and seven have been in the first round. He has seven post-fight bonuses. Check out Jones' tweets below. I remember like it was yesterday. three years since anyone saw me fight. The mass amount of critics ' Jones looks so old now, He's too slow now. Gane going to be too fast, Jones has never faced someone this big, he's never faced a kickboxer of this caliber.' The French and the… — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 Once twice to me really makes no difference. My point is the kids not special. And he has no top lip which I also find annoying. lol — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 It really has nothing to do with fear. The question I asked my close friends and family is how much higher can a person like me climbing this sport. The goal for athletes is to build a brand and then take that brand and become so much more than an athlete. A lot of the fans and… — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 I spoke to the UFC a long time ago about what my future plans were. I haven't really worked out since my last fight in New York City. Honestly, I believe it's been in the UFC's best interest to keep presenting me as the company's champion—not Tom. I've just been playing the role… — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 Duck boy over here winning, and sticking one big fat FU to the haters at the same time quack quack — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 By not even giving him the chance — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 There's an interesting take! Shit, I'm 37 years old now. My body hurts everywhere if I'm being honest. Funny how Tommy boy talks zero shit to the studs of his generation. Barely even mention their names. — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 And remember, you can't strip a guy like me at this point I give the belt up freely. Veni, vidi, vici. 😘 — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 Honestly, I'm jetlagged. Been traveling all day and bored so yes, I have time to tweet. Figured I'd give my haters some ammunition I got money to make. — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. I see things like this happen all the time. Fighter allows me to become their whole identity. They're so focused on being the man meanwhile, the competition is lurking. The big mouth gets bit in the ass. — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 No, honestly, I wish Tommy no ill will. He is no threat to me whatsoever, he should start with just trying to be the best heavyweight of all time, that goal would be plenty. My career is on a completely different planet if we're being honest. I really don't hate on other… — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025

Alcaraz vs Musetti live stream: How to watch French Open 2025 semi-final online for FREE

Can the king of the clay be toppled? Carlos Alcaraz is two matches away from sealing a second straight French Open crown, but won't be taking the challenge of Italian up-and-comer Lorenzo Musetti lightly. You can watch Alcaraz vs Musetti live streams in the 2025 French Open from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free. The Alcaraz vs Musetti match takes place on Friday, June 6.► Start time: 8:30 a.m. ET / 5:30 a.m. PT / 1:30 p.m. BST / 10:30 p.m. AEST► FREE STREAM — 9Now (Australia)► U.S. — TNT via Sling TV / Max► U.K. — Discovery+► Watch anywhere — Try NordVPN 100% risk free The mercurial Alcaraz has been far from blemish-free at Roland-Garros this year — until, that is, he destroyed American Tommy Paul in the quarter-finals. Opening up with a bagel, he dropped only five games on his way to a straight sets thrashing. Having only just turned 22, the Spaniard now has a golden opportunity to seal a fifth Grand Slam of his burgeoning career. Musetti is a year older and is playing in only his second Slam semi. He managed to take a set off Alcaraz on the clay in their Monte-Carlo Masters final in April and will be desperate to fulfil his potential in Paris this time around. He's already taken down two seeds in Frances Tiafoe and Holger Rune in a campaign that will likely see him improve on his current no. 7 world ranking.
