The first season of BMF premiered back in 2021. At the time Flenory Jr. joined the cast, he was still in school at UNLV. He discussed his reaction to the offer during an interview with the New York Post at the time. "At first it sounded crazy — I had never acted before," he explained. "I was actually in school for business at UNLV, in Las Vegas. [Now] I want to act for the rest of my life, I feel like I found my calling. So, 50 basically brought acting to me. He's the reason that I’m acting. He helped me get the role, but I had to earn it and show the network [that I was the right choice]."

BMF ended up being a hit for Starz and a second season aired earlier this year. That same month, the network renewed the show for a third season. “’BMF’ captures the essence of Detroit through elevated, gritty storytelling and our fans have passionately responded to this show more than ever before,” said Kathryn Busby, president of original programming for Starz. “Following such a strong debut with season two, we’re thrilled to continue to expand on the incredible story of the Flenory brothers as they change the game by writing their own rules. We can’t wait to see what our extraordinary producers and cast deliver next.”
