Exclusive: The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Cynthia Bailey and Jerel Alston talk BMF Season 3
Currently playing on Starz is Season Three of “BMF,” which continues the story of the inspiring true legends, brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi), who founded one of the most influential crime families in the country, the Black Mafia Family.
We parachute into the early '90s in season three, with Meech moving to Atlanta, hoping to grow the BMF empire in the south and rise to the top of the Atlanta drug scene. At the same time, Terry remains in the “D,” handling business there, not yet aware of all the dangers lurking around the corner. Charles Flenory (Russell Hornsby) and Lucille Flenory’s (Michole Briana White) marriage remains on the rocks, and Detective Bryant (Steve Harris), on probation from work, and Detective Jin (Kelly Hu) find themselves on opposite sides of the law, but might find common ground in their determination to take down BMF. Additionally, season three includes special guest stars recurring throughout the season, who cross paths with Meech and Terry in this next phase of their unbelievable journey.
For Cynthia Bailey, whose is best known for appearing on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, this role is a transition to the acting world. Bailey plays Gloria, Detective Bryant’s hard-working ex-wife who is grappling with their son’s legal battle.
Jerel Alston , who appeared in the Aretha Franklin film Respect, plays Kevin Bryant, Detective Bryant’s son.
