"The third season of the critically acclaimed series, Godfather of Harlem, is set to premiere early next year on January 15 and Epix has released the official trailer for the new season. Amongst all the pressure and rising tensions seen in the trailer, one thing is crystal clear– Bumpy Johnson (Forest Whitaker) still rules Harlem, and he is not letting go anytime soon.

The trailer begins with Bumpy Johnson stating that his freedom is one he is not willing to give up. Bumpy, who had been in prison for ten years, returned in the freshman season to see his empire in ruins. Part of his plan to regain control is dealing heroin, however, his stash is torched, and money problems loom large; you can also add Joe Colombo (Michael Raymond-James) and the Italians to Bumpy's list of problems. Now, his dilemma puts him and his family in their crosshairs and Bumpy is not one to surrender. While this storm is brewing all around him, the CIA is closely watching his every move.

Godfather of Harlem is a thrilling mix between the civil rights movement and the criminal underworld. Featuring some of the most prominent rights leaders in US history, Godfather of Harlem is revisiting some of the most tumultuous times in the country’s history. While Bumpy is refusing to ‘bend the knee’ to the five Italian families, he is simultaneously losing control of Central Harlem. He can’t take on all of his enemies all at once – so he is forced to seek an alliance that changes the balance of power. There is tension in the air and this could very well be a suicide mission, but the one thing most people need to remember, Harlem belongs to Bumpy.



Godfather of Harlem is one of Epix’s best-performing series. The second season of the crime drama became the service’s best season of all time with the finale standing as the best-performing finale episode to date. As a testament to its success, the show took home a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Design in 2020. The series is executive produced by Chris Brancato, Paul Eckstein, Nina Yang Bongiovi, James Acheson, Markuann Smith, and Joe Chappelle, with Swizz Beatz serving as executive music producer.

The cast for the new season alongside Whitaker, who also executive produces, and Raymond-James includes Vincent D’Onofrio, Ilfenesh Hadera, Lucy Fry, Whoopi Goldberg, Antoinette Crowe-Legacy, and Giancarlo Esposito. Additional new cast members include Jason Alan Carvell replacing Nigél Thatch as Malcolm X.

The old Malcom sounds just like Malcom irl. That sh*t pissed me off when he walks in on Betty Shabazz watching one of his speeches bc it highlights how much he doesn’t sound like him

Did it switch networks? If so, where are the s1 and s2 episodes found?

POWER RAPS said It’s on the mgm app now. I think they merged with epix Season 1 and 2 are on Hulu. sh*t is annoying

Didn’t know first two seasons were on Hulu, will check the series out again.

YAYO101 said I'm a*suming Nigel Thatch landed a huge Role on another project and couldn't return as Malcolm The Recast is really good so far though as annoying as Stella is damn her own Mother tried to get her outta here WTF?

She's Stella's step-mother.

Stella has to be one of the most manipulating characters on the show. They showed that early in the first season with her relationship with Teddy. Even got that boy k*lled by having him come back to Harlem after Bumpy sent him away. Cozed up to Teddy's mother after getting him k*lled and made her have to leave Harlem by telling her Benny was k*lled. Played Ernie's simp a*s too many times to list until he was k*lled. Got her father locked up and probably going to start some new sh*t with the attempt on her life.

She's a straight Demon bi*ch and my favorite scene of the series so far is when her stepmother slapped her and called her out.

Going to take awhile to get used to the "new" Malcolm. I see an interview with the showrunners and while they said the hated they had to re-cast the role it was good timing. Since, the Malcolm going forward is going to be different than the one portrayed in the first 2 seasons. He's left the NOI, he's going to go to Mecca, etc.

servesurite said yea the new malcolm is aite, not holding a torch to the og tho.... even his voice is off. but bumpy back on that gangsta sh*t after the riots burned everything. paid his 3 mil debt a day early

Yeah. But, he put his wife in danger since she's one of the few people that knew about the money drop off. Powell is probably going to cut ties with her too. Besides her work with him she didn't really have much else going on. That's bound to cause some friction between her and Bumpy.

I swear if
[spoiler - click to view]
I might had to take a break from the show. One bi*ch should not have that much power. Speaking of which, she's turning into the new Tariq from that shoe.

I guess Lucchese is replacing Costello (R.I.P Paul Sorvino) as Bumpy's go-to when dealing with the mafia guys. Going to mess Bumpy and Costello's conversations while playing chess.

I just binged watch all seasons. This show is one of the goats.

Hate to see how they was so jealous of Malcolm.
