'BMF' takes business to Atlanta in 3rd season
In season three of 'BMF,' brothers Demetrius 'Big Meech' Flenory and Terry 'Southwest T' Flenory are bringing their business to the ATL. Demetrius 'Lil Meech' Flenory and Cynthia Bailey sat down with Sharon Lawson to talk about the hit show.
"Lil Meech" and Cynthia Bailey talk "BMF" season 3: "BMF" continues the storyline of the inspiring true legends of brothers Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry "Southwest T" Flenory (Da’Vinchi), who fostered one of the most influential crime families in the country known as, Black Mafia Family. We parachute into the early 90s in season 3 with Meech moving to Atlanta, where he hopes to build upon the BMF empire in the south that he and Terry fostered in Detroit and rise to the top of the Atlanta drug scene. At the same time, Terry remains in the "D" to handle business. Charles Flenory (Russell Hornsby) and Lucille Flenory’s (Michole Briana White) marriage remains on the rocks, and Detective Bryant (Steve Harris) and Detective Jin (Kelly Hu) return as partners often on opposite sides of the law who find common ground in their determination to take down BMF. Additionally, season 3 includes special guest stars recurring throughout the season who cross paths with Meech and Terry in this next phase of their journey.
