BMF Series Finale Ends with Cliffhanger Arrest, Feud Overshadows Cancellation

In August 2025, the hit crime drama BMF aired its series finale, concluding the show's 4-season run. The finale episode, "Dreams Deferred," left viewers on a cliffhanger, with the show's central character, Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory (played by Demetrius Flenory Jr.), getting arrested by Detective Von Bryant (Steve Harris).

The cancellation of BMF, which was based on the real-life story of the Flenory brothers and their Black Mafia Family, was reportedly influenced by a longstanding feud between executive producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and the real-life Big Meech. The two had a falling out in the early 2000s when Jackson accused Meech of being a federal informant, an allegation Meech strongly denied. Their ongoing beef is said to have caused anxiety on the show's set in its later seasons.
