STARZ has announced the movies and TV shows that will be available on the service in April. The STARZ April 2024 schedule includes the new psychodrama Mary & George, and BMF continues its third season.
On the film front, Beast, Dear David, Halloween Ends, Saw X, 8 Mile, and more join the STARZ app this month.
STARZ ORIGINAL SERIES
MARY & GEORGE
The audacious psychodrama Mary & George, starring Academy Award-winner Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine, will debut on Friday, April 5 at midnight on the STARZ app. On linear, it will debut on STARZ at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S. and 10:00 p.m. ET/PT in Canada. New episodes will air all month long.
The seven-part limited series is inspired by the unbelievable true story of Mary Villiers (Moore), who molded her beautiful and charismatic son, George (Galitzine), to seduce King James I (Tony Curran) and become his all-powerful lover.
Through outrageous scheming, the pair rose from humble beginnings to become the richest, most titled, and most influential players the English court had ever seen, as well as the King’s most trusted advisors. And with England’s place on the world stage under threat from outside forces and rioters taking to the streets to denounce the King, the stakes could not have been higher.
Prepared to stop at nothing and armed with her ruthless political steel, Mary married her way up the ranks, bribed politicians, colluded with criminals, and clawed her way into the heart of the Establishment, making it her own. Mary & George is a dangerously daring historical psychodrama about an outrageous mother and son who schemed, seduced, and killed to conquer the court of England and the bed of King James I.
BMF SEASON 3
BMF continues its third season with new episodes. BMF recounts the inspiring true legends of two brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi), who rose from the decaying streets of southwest Detroit in the late ’80s and gave birth to one of the most influential crime families in the country known as the Black Mafia Family.
Season three of the gripping crime and family drama continues on Fridays at midnight on the STARZ app. On linear, new episodes will debut on STARZ Fridays at 8:00 PM ET/PT in the U.S. and at 9:00 PM ET in Canada.
This season, we parachute into the early 90’s with Meech moving to Atlanta, where Black excellence is prominent and Black businesses are thriving. Meech seeks to build upon the BMF empire in the south that he and Terry fostered in Detroit and rise to the top of the Atlanta drug scene.
In Atlanta, he meets his new love interest, Angel (Kadianne Whyte), an exotic dancer. Terry remains in Detroit to take care of the business and his second child with his girlfriend Lawanda (Sydney Mitchell) while juggling his ongoing affair with love interest Markisha (La La Anthony).
Yet, as Meech expands BMF outside of Detroit and new local competition comes after Terry, both brothers take on enemies more ruthless in their ways than they have ever seen who threaten to destroy the whole empire. BMF continues to humanize the brothers’ business choices and pursuits of the American Dream.
