When Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson mentioned “BMF” was going to be “an incredible ride,” he wasn’t kidding. The sequence — which relies on the real-life story of Detroit brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory — has had us on the sting of our seats because it first hit Starz in September 2021 and, in line with Da’Vinchi (Terry “Southwest T” Flenory), the drama is simply getting began.
“Wow, season two is going to be a journey. The fans are going to be in for a treat,” Da’Vinchi tells POPSUGAR forward of the present’s return on Jan. 6. “You’re going to see Terry Flenory just boss up. He’s just like, ‘Yo, I’m not this little kid no more. I got this grown-ass lady, and I’m the man now. And she’s helping me become a man.’ He got a little different pep in his step, and it’s going to be interesting to watch.”
The “lady” in query is none apart from La La Anthony’s character, Markisha Taylor — sure, fellow drug seller Boom’s spouse. In the season two trailer, which dropped on Nov. 25, 2022, we bought a small glimpse of Terry and Markisha’s blossoming romance because the latter battles between making an sincere residing in his new automobile service enterprise together with his father or returning to the streets together with his brother, Meech (Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr.). “This season, you really get to see the dynamics of Markisha and Terry’s relationship and how it starts off as just a fun little flirty thing, and then it becomes a lot more,” Anthony explains. “Now they’re both faced with dealing with their real relationships and what that means for their relationship. And it gets complicated, but at the core of it all is love, care, and respect.”
As Terry and Markisha “start falling in love,” Da’Vinchi says that Markisha helps his character mature and teaches him learn how to “become a kingpin in a way.” He explains, “She puts him on the path to becoming independent and gaining that autonomy that he always wanted.” From altering his hair to displaying him learn how to stroll and speak, Markisha “elevates him in a different way.”
“A lot of people could be hurt in the decisions that these two people make.”
At the identical time, Terry additionally helps Markisha, who feels trapped in her marriage to Boom. “She’s stagnant in her marriage. She’s also in an abusive marriage, which is incredibly sad. And it just makes her feel seen and alive again,” Anthony says. “Even though, at first, she’s resisting it, it’s great new energy and maybe an escape from her day-to-day life. And then it just becomes something so much more. But in it becoming more, it also becomes more complicated. So it’s interesting to see which way it goes because it could go a million different ways. A lot of people could be hurt in the decisions that these two people make.”
And a type of individuals could possibly be Meech. “Meech has this thing with Markisha. Meech does not like Markisha at all,” Da’Vinchi explains. “And I think that starts making the brothers build a certain tension again, which some could argue and say that that could be part of the brothers’ demise.”

In addition to all of the twists and turns season two has in retailer, the forthcoming installment additionally encompasses a handful of latest faces, together with Leslie Jones, Kelly Hu, Caresha “Yung Miami” Brownlee, and, in fact, Mo’Nique. The 55-year-old Oscar winner makes her long-awaited return to the small display screen as Goldie, a classy Atlanta strip-club proprietor who allies with the Flenory brothers. Other than that, not a lot else is thought about her character and the way large of a task she’ll play in Terry and Meech’s story, however Da’Vinchi guarantees persons are “going to definitely love her character.” “They’re going to laugh their asses off. They’re going to be glued to the screen when they see her, for sure,” he says. “It was just an amazing experience having her on board.”
While Anthony did not get to personally work alongside Mo’Nique in “BMF,” the actor says they’ve identified one another for years. Anthony provides, “To be on a show with such an incredible talent and someone that just brings so much is just great. Who doesn’t want to work with Mo’Nique and have her be a part of the show? We’re very honored and excited about it. And it’s going to bring even more eyes to ‘BMF’ and get more people excited about our show.”
“BMF” has but to be renewed for a 3rd season, however given the success of the primary, now we have little question it should. And if and when it does, each Da’Vinchi and Anthony would like to proceed telling the Flenory brothers’ story. “I love this cast. I love this story,” Anthony raves. “I would just love to continue to see these relationships expand. And like I said, anything can go a different way at any second. So just to see where we all end up is going to be really interesting.”
Meanwhile, Da’Vinchi simply has one want for season three: “I would love to see Terry find a world where Markisha and LaWanda (Sydney Mitchell) could just coexist.” Hmm, does that imply Markisha and LaWanda are additionally at odds this season? Guess we’ll simply have to attend and see when “BMF” returns.
