“I’m blessed to be here because I never could imagine myself acting ever. This is a wonderful experience and I feel like this is what I’m placed on this earth to do,” detailed Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory to VIBE. “It is still surreal to me because I get to live my family’s story and this is history. It has never been done before, and I’m actually being able to watch it while they’re living. It’s amazing to have people that’s proud of me to do something in life, [and] have my family proud of me.”

Season three adds 2 Chainz, Ne-Yo, Lil Baby, and Saweetie to the recurring cast led by Lil Meech and Da’Vinchi, who portray Demetrius ‘Meech’ Flenory and Terry ‘Southwest T’ Flenory, respectively.

Touching words from showrunner Heather Zuhlke, and series creator Randy Huggins were followed by a gasp-worthy screening of season three, episode one, with BMFstars enjoying the fruits of their labor. Following the episode, Detroit-style Coney Island hot dogs, spicy pepperoni pizza slices, vegan crab cakes, saucy lemon pepper hot wings, and Old Fashioned drinks with a “What Up Doe” twist were enjoyed in a strip club-themed after-party. DJ Sky Jetta provided the tunes, digging deep into throwback tracks as well as modern fan-favorites from both regions represented in BMF.

“We don’t take this for granted at all. We are so blessed to be getting to tell a great story about family and to be here the night of our season three premiere and have a season four pickup. It’s a huge testament to Randy Huggins,” shared Zuhlke. “The world has always been captivated with the story of BMF, and the story continues.”

She continued to elaborate, “We have so many great guest stars and just all the wonderful family dynamics, those are the things that I think our audience really reacts to. Yes, people know the story, but they don’t know the emotional journey, and so we get to tell that and have fun.”
