Today, premium network MGM+ released a first-look teaser for Godfather of Harlem Season 4, coming to the linear and streaming service on April 13.
From Chris Brancato, creator of Narcos and Hotel Cocaine, the fourth season stars Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker as Bumpy Johnson, alongside Ilfenesh Hadera, Lucy Fry, Antoinette Crowe-Legacy, Erik LaRay Harvey, Michael Raymond James, Elvis Nolasco and Erik Palladino.

The new season introduces Frank Lucas, portrayed by Daytime Emmy Award-winning actor Rome Flynn. The first three seasons are currently available to stream on MGM+.
In Season 4 of Godfather of Harlem, Bumpy Johnson (Forest Whitaker) continues his bloody war for control of Harlem against New York’s Mafia families, while contending with the arrival of gangster Frank Lucas (Rome Flynn).

After Malcolm X’s (Jason Alan Carvell) tragic assassination, Bumpy must also grapple with his daughter Elise’s (Antionette Crowe-Legacy) involvement with the Black Panthers.
Produced by 20th Television, the series is executive produced by Chris Brancato, Paul Eckstein, Forest Whitaker, Nina Yang Bongiovi, James Acheson, Markuann Smith, Ray Quinlan, Michael Panes and Stephen Schiff, with Swizz Beatz serving as executive music producer.

“Forest Whitaker’s inspired performance as Bumpy Johnson has introduced an iconic, archetypal television antihero to the premium television landscape,” said Michael Wright, head of MGM+, previously.
“The cast and creative team exceed expectations every single season, both creatively and cinematically. We couldn’t be more delighted to embark on a fourth season with this incredibly talented group of people.”

“I’m so gratified to continue my creative partnership with Michael Wright, his MGM+ team, and ABC Signature,” said co-creator Chris Brancato when the fourth season was announced.
“This show has been a labor of love, and we dedicate this season to Paul Eckstein, my friend and co-creator, who passed unexpectedly [in Summer 2023].”

“After such a long time away, I’m so excited to be returning to set alongside such an incredible cast, crew, and creative team, under the powerful leadership of Chris Brancato,” said Forest Whitaker.
“We’re so appreciative of Michael Wright’s support at MGM+ and thrilled that Godfather of Harlem has resonated with fans around the world.”
