Starz Cancels 'BMF' After Four Seasons

Starz cited season-four underperformance alongside a move toward lower-cost, newer series.

Overview

  • The ten-episode fourth season, which ran from June to Aug. 15, now stands as the series’ final run.
  • Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch said the latest season fell short of advertising expectations and led to modest sequential declines in OTT subscribers and revenue.
  • The cancellation reflects Starz’s broader strategy to curb rising production costs by favoring fresh launches over later-season renewals.
  • Multiple projects tied to a potential BMF universe are reported to remain in development, despite the flagship show ending.
  • After the announcement, executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson mocked star Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. on social media, though production sources say that feud was not cited as a reason for the decision.
