The 50 Cent<\/a>-produced BMF<\/em> series has been canceled at Starz after four seasons, the last of which wrapped up in August.<\/p>\n The series was based on the rise and fall of the Black Mafia Family empire, which was started in Southwest Detroit by brothers Demetrius \u201cBig Meech\u201d Flenory<\/a> and Terry Flenory in 1985.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n The drug trafficking and money laundering organization built a network that spanned the United States, with hubs in Atlanta and Los Angeles, lasting into the 2000s when a plethora of federal raids, arrests and indictments caused the empire to crumble.<\/p>\n 50 Cent produced the show through his G-Unit Film and Television division alongside Lionsgate TV. Big Meech\u2019s son, Demetrius Flenory Jr. and Da\u2019Vinchi starred as the Flenory brothers in the series, which also boasted a cast that included Russell Hornsby, Kash Doll, Michole Briana White, Eric Kofi-Abrefa, Myles Truitt, Steve Harris and Lala Anthony.<\/p>\n As pointed out by The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/em>, Starz\u00a0CEO Jeffrey Hirsch revealed his disappointment in season four during a quarterly earnings call in August. \u201c[Season four] resulted in modest sequential declines in OTT subscribers and revenue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The cancellation echoes Hirsch\u2019s statements at a conference in March, where he revealed the company\u2019s pursuit of launching new series rather than continuing older shows, since they become costly after a few seasons.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen seasons go from one to two to three to four [seasons], three to four is where the cost really pops because most of the actors get bigger raises, and you have to really manage that,\u201d he said, per Deadline<\/a><\/em>. \u201cSo, you have to have in your portfolio of development shows that can actually replace shows as they get into later seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n As far as what\u2019s left of the 50-Starz empire, Power<\/em>\u00a0spinoffs\u00a0Raising Kanan<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Force <\/em>are returning for a final season. There\u2019s also a Power: Origins<\/em> prequel series in production.<\/p>\n Billboard <\/em>has reached out to Starz and 50 Cent for comment.<\/p>\n <\/a> Billboard VIP Pass<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
