Godfather of Harlem Renewed for Season 4 at MGM+
The Godfather of Harlem‘s reign is far from over.
MGM+ announced Wednesday that it has renewed the Forest Whitaker drama for Season 4. The pickup comes eight months after its Season 3 finale, which aired March 26.
“Forest Whitaker’s inspired performance as Bumpy Johnson has introduced an iconic, archetypal television antihero to the premium television landscape,” MGM+ head Michael Wright said in a statement. “The cast and creative team exceed expectations every single season, both creatively and cinematically. We couldn’t be more delighted to embark on a fourth season with this incredibly talented group of people.”
Added star/EP Whitaker: “After such a long time away, I’m so excited to be returning to set alongside such an incredible cast, crew, and creative team, under the powerful leadership of [series co-creator] Chris Brancato. We’re so appreciative of Michael Wright’s support at MGM+, and thrilled that Godfather of Harlem has resonated with fans around the world. We can’t wait to get to work on Season 4!”
In Season 4, “Bumpy Johnson continues his bloody war for control of Harlem against New York’s Mafia families, while contending with the emergence of a potential rival in newly arrived Black gangster Frank Lucas,” according to the official logline. “After Malcolm X’s (Jason Alan Carvell) tragic death, Bumpy must also grapple with his daughter Elise’s (Antoinette Crowe-Legacy) involvement with the Black Panthers.”
Production will get underway in New York in early 2024. A premiere date is TBD.
