Lil Baby & Saweetie Become Latest Artists To Join Cast Of 'BMF'

Lil Baby and Saweetie have been announced as just two of the latest rappers to join the BMF lineup.

The announcement was made on the Starz show’s official Instagram page, and the first photo in the lineup features the “Best Friend” rapper playing an as-yet-unidentified character alongside Lil’Meech, while the second frame features the “Drip Too Hard” rapper, who is also in an as-yet-unnamed role.

“Waddup doe, we got new faces joining the crew. Y’all ready for #BMF Season 3?” the show said, while also revealing that 2 Chainz would be in the new season, as would Ne-Yo, actor Steve Harris, and Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Cynthia Bailey.

Executive producer 50 Cent, who just greenlit the development of G-Unit film and television studios, also shared a post on Thursday (December 14) with the announcement. “I’m for the culture you know the vibes, 2chains put some work in too. This season is fire a little more Atlanta in it let’s go! GLG GreenLightGang @g-unit film Tv @bransoncognac @_shxle42,” he wrote in the caption.

BMF’s series premiere in September 2021 broke several records at STARZ, including earning the No. 1 premiere on the network’s app across all of its programming last year.

Preliminary reports immediately following the show’s debut at the time also stated that it was one of the most highly engaged series premieres ever.

BMF recounts the cinematic story of brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory building their nationwide drug empire, which began in the late 1980s in Detroit.

The announcement of BMF’s return for a third season comes after Power Book III: Raising Kanan recently received a release date for later this year.

The premium TV network revealed on August 28 that the next season of the 50 Cent show will debut on the heels of Power Book IV: Force on December 1.

Season 2 of Raising Kanan closed in October 2022 and will embark on a new chapter for fans before the year’s out. The family is left to pick the pieces up and exact revenge after the mob coordinated attack on Raquel, Marvin and Lou Lou.

Kanan (Mekai Curtis) must battle the duality of making the decisions in life that will control his path but also assert his role in the family business and not let his relatives down.

“They won’t all be able to complete this intensely personal quest, but for those who do, the destination may reveal the most terrifying secret of all,” STARZ wrote in a synopsis. “There is no right and wrong or good and evil. There are no absolutes. In the end, there’s just you.”
