The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast is coming back with its second season on Friday, January 16, with new episodes to stream weekly on Fridays via the Starz app, and the network’s streaming and on-demand platforms. The Season 2 trailer can be found below.
Across six episodes, the docuseries will focus on an exclusive interview with Black Mafia Family co-founder Terry Lee “Southwest Tee” Flenory, highlighting his role as the mastermind, his deep bond with Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, and the ultimate breakdown of their relationship as power, paranoia, and law enforcement pressure drove them apart.
The docuseries overall explores the rise and fall of the Black Mafia Family, the notorious drug empire built by brothers Demetrius and Terry Flenory. Fueled by ambition, loyalty, and a shared vision, they created a sprawling criminal enterprise, only to be undone by rivalries, betrayal, and the weight of their choices. From the streets of Detroit to the heights of infamy, this is their untold story and the lasting legacy they left behind.
The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast was ordered in 2021 as a companion project to complement the Starz scripted crime drama BMF, which recently concluded its four-season run on Starz. The show was cancelled on October 29, leaving fans with a cliffhanger when Big Meech (Demetrius Flenory Jr.) was arrested by Detective Von Bryant (Steve Harris).
However, considering the series followed the adventures of the Flenory Brothers, with Da’Vinchi starring opposite Flenory Jr. as Terry Flenory, viewers can read up on the events that followed. They can also now catch the docuseries’ second season, where they can hear details straight from the real-life Southwest Tee.
There has been plenty of speculation regarding why the show was cancelled, with a spotlight on franchise executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s beef with Big Meech. Sources at the time of cancellation told Deadline that Jackson and Big Meech’s frayed relationship was not the reason BMF ended. Jackson addressed the rumors during a recent chat with Deadline, while promoting his ratings juggernaut Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
“BMF was already slightly declining [in ratings] before the last season started, and they made some creative choices that were, from my perspective, not good choices. I know people feel like I turned it off, but the networks would have continued to move forward with the show if it was doing the numbers it had been doing. So it’s [one thing] me saying that the show’s over, and then [another] that it’s actually over. Those were the circumstances; it wasn’t me,” Jackson told me in late November.
With that clarification, whether The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast will continue beyond Season 2 is as yet unknown. Regarding the future of the franchise, Jackson has reiterated his intentions to continue via spinoffs, both before BMF was cancelled and after. However, he has yet to elaborate on what storylines or timelines he’s interested in expanding on.
Jackson is also executive producer of the “Power” franchise on Starz, which has successfully found new life beyond the mothership series Power with spinoffs Ghost, Raising Kanan, Force, and the new prequel project Origins. Ghost concluded its run after four seasons in 2024, prequel Raising Kanan will end following its upcoming fifth season, and Force will wrap up Tommy’s (Joseph Sikora) Chicago adventures after three seasons on January 16. Origins is currently in production on its freshman season in New York/New Jersey.
In addition to Jackson, The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast is also executive produced by Shan Nicholson (Jerusalem: City of Faith and Fury, Rubble Kings), who will also serve as the series’s showrunner, as well as Razan Ghalayini, Richard Perello, and Stacey Offman. Khidija Rivera and Jessica Vale co-executive produce, and the supervising producer is Kenyatta Steans. The documentary series is produced for Starz by Jigsaw Productions and G-Unit Film & Television.
