The final episode of BMF season 4 aired on August 15, 2025, leaving viewers on a cliffhanger. The series centers around the real-life Black Mafia family that was operational between 1989 and 2005, and follows the lives of Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory. The final season left multiple storylines open and ended in the middle of the 1990s.
There will not be a BMF season 4 episode 11 since there were only 10 episodes this season. It was the season finale with important plots being tied up in it, including Purdy’s death and the Flenory brothers’ fallout. The Starz network and showrunners decide on episode count ahead of time, so there would not be any unexpected breaks or lost content in this case.
BMF season 4 ends with ten episodes
There are ten episodes in BMF season 4, and no episode 11 since the season’s narrative was planned by the network and showrunners to be structured in that manner. Starz and reputable entertainment websites confirm that BMF season 4 only ever had a ten-episode plan.
The tenth episode, titled “Dreams Deferred,” served as the season finale. It wrapped up major plotlines, including Meech’s arrest due to an incident as regards to the violent occurrence at the Platinum Palace nightclub. The end of this season provides crucial consequences and leaves questions open for a potential Season 5 rather than dragging on the storyline.
Shows like BMF generally have predetermined episode numbers per season well in advance. There’s no indication of cancellation or missing episodes. Briefly, BMF season 4 concludes on episode 10 by design as part of its plan and narrative. However, as the show ended in the middle of the 1990s and the actual Black Mafia family ran on till 2005, there could be a potential fifth season.
What happened at the end of BMF season 4?
In the explosive season 4 finale of BMF, long-brewing tensions between Meech and Terry come to a head with betrayals, violence, and shattered loyalty. Flashbacks to a risky Mexico operation reignite their schism: Meech remained behind to protect a key contact, as Terry fled, exposing their inherently different priorities.
At the same time, B-Mickie’s sinister power grab goes horribly wrong: his bid to take over the organization ends in a vicious shoot-out, where he’s killed by Detective Bryant. At the Platinum Palace club, mayhem erupts when a fight accidentally becomes lethal, and Meech attacks an opponent with a bottle and which proves fatal.
Detective Bryant takes advantage of the situation and arrests Meech then and there, a turning point in decline and a reminder that one mistake can destroy years of building an empire.
Will there be a BMF season 5?

There is no word yet on whether BMF will receive a season 5. As of August 2025, the series has not been renewed or canceled by Starz. The network is holding out to assess the show’s ratings, viewership, and overall feedback on BMF season 4 before making a decision.
This is typical of premium cable networks, particularly when several original shows are vying for budgets and scheduling. There is speculation galore because the conclusion of season 4 left some storylines hanging.
Other reports state behind-the-scenes drama, but nothing that will prevent a renewal if the program continues to succeed. As per reports by Hip Hop in an article published on February 7, 2025, executive producer 50 Cent threatened to kick Big Meech off the show. However, past seasons of BMF were picked up after good performances, and there is a devoted and engaged fan base for the show.
BMF season 4 is available to stream on Starz.
