Starz series Bmf Season 3 continues on a roll, delivering 5.1 million multiplatform viewers on its premiere weekend.

The third season premiered on Friday, March 1, achieving a series high in audience and growing season over season by 25%. The new season of the family drama also launched as the highest-rated among Black households on cable across its premiere weekend.

Bmf continues the story of brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, who rose through the illegal drug trade from the depths of poverty in Detroit to the heights of fame and fortune across America.

In Season 3, Meech moves to Atlanta to expand their empire, facing rival crews and crossing paths with burgeoning hip-hop legends, while Terry holds down the fort in Detroit, facing formidable rivals, old and new.

Starz announced ahead of the Season 3 premiere that Bmf has been renewed for a fourth season. Production on Season 4 is slated to begin this spring in Atlanta,...

The third season premiere of BMF gathered its biggest audience to date for Starz.

The drama’s March 1 debut racked up 5.1 million cross-platform viewers over its opening weekend. That’s the best performance to date for the series and up by a million viewers over the season two premiere in January 2023 — a nearly 25 percent jump season to season.

As is usually the case with premium cable shows, the vast majority of viewing came away from Bmf’s on-air premiere, which averaged just 250,000 viewers (though that too was up, vs. 170,000 for the season two opener) — only about 5 percent of the three-day total. The 5.1 million figure includes replays and streaming as well, and though Starz (like most other streamers) doesn’t provide detailed streaming data, it’s a safe bet that most of the remaining 4.85 million viewers came via streaming.

The big opening weekend for Bmf came on the heels of Starz renewing the series,...
