Starz’s BMF (Black Mafia Family) is a crime drama series based on the real-life gang of the same name. The show features Da’Vinchi and Demetrius Flenory Jr. in the lead roles. With the final episode of Season 4 being aired on August 15, 2025, viewers are wondering if there will ever be a fifth season. So, has BMF been renewed for Season 5 or canceled?
So, here’s everything fans need to know about the possibility of a fifth season of Starz’s BMF.
Is BMF canceled or renewed for Season 5 by Starz?
As of writing, Starz has not officially renewed nor cancelled BMF for a fifth season.
BMF is based on Black Mafia Family, which was a drug trafficking and money laundering organization. It was founded by brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory in Detroit. Although the story is drawn from real-life events, the creators of the show have taken some artistic liberty to dramatize.
In Season 4 Episode 9, titled “Point of No Return,” tragedy strikes in a very dramatic way, shaking the organization. Following this, the brothers plan to head to California to expand their business.
Moreover, in the tenth and final episode, there’s little chance viewers have gotten to see everything that happens in the new city. Moreover, considering the real BMF timeline, their story is far from over. Here’s why:
Season 4 concludes in the mid-1990s, yet the real BMF operation continued until the DEA shut it down in 2005. Given that there is an 8-year gap between the current show timeline and the arrests, Starz’s BMF could return to explore the next chapter in Meech and Terry’s lives.
Currently, neither Starz nor the makers has confirmed the show returning for a fifth installment. Hence, it is only speculation with all the information on hand. The network has not made any formal announcements yet, leaving fans eagerly waiting for new ones. Like other shows, they are likely to wait for the viewership statistics of the fourth season before they give Season 5 of BMF a go-ahead.
Nevertheless, given the show its popularity, there’s a high possibility of at least one more installment of BMF after Season 4.
