50 Cent‘s hit STARZ series BMF has received an official release date for Season 2, along with an action-packed, star-studded trailer to set the tone.
The popular series is set to make its return on Friday, January 6, arriving on the STARZ app at Midnight and airing on the cable network at 8:00 p.m. EST.
According to Deadlin ande, Season 2 will draw viewers further into the rise of the Flenory brothers — Big Meech and Southwest Tee — as they begin expanding their empire beyond Detroit, with their sights set on global domination.
In addition to teasing new story lines and revisiting old ones, like Meech and Tee’s conflicts with their parents and with each other, the trailer also introduces two high profile guest stars.
Mo’Nique makes her first appearance as Goldie, after 50 Cent made good on a promise to cast her in one of his shows earlier this year. Comedian Leslie Jones also joins BMF this season, in the role of Federal Agent Tracy Chambers.
The Season 2 trailer also sees Snoop Dogg reprising his role as Pastor Swift. Absent from the trailer, however, is Yung Miami; though fans already got a look at her character, Deanna, when she announced she had landed the role in October.
STARZ had also previously hinted at the release in a Twitter post from the official BMF account celebrating Mo’Nique, Yung Miami, Leslie Jones and Snoop.
BMF‘s series premier in September 2021 broke a number of records at STARZ, including earning the No. 1 premiere on the network’s app across all of its programming last year. Preliminary reports immediately following the show’s debut also stated that it was one of the most highly engaged series premieres ever.
The show’s success led to it being renewed even before its second episode had aired.
“Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson continues to find and cultivate stories like BMF that are culturally relevant, bringing the network important untold stories that are incredibly diverse both in front of and behind the camera,” STARZ CEO Jeffrey Hirsch added. “Following such a strong debut, we’re excited to see what Curtis, Randy and the award-worthy cast deliver in the second season.”
The show’s popularity also led to STARZ greenlighting The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast two months later. Executive produced by 50 Cent, the doc — which is currently airing — is a companion piece to the hit-series, which was originally touted to be an eight-episode docu-series when it was announced. However, before The BMF Documentary even made its debut on STARZ last month, 50 Cent had announced that his deal with the network had come to an end. Fif made the announcement very nonchalantly in mid-September, with the caption of a video that saw him hand-counting stacks of cash.
“No one from music culture has had success in Television production,” he wrote. “I have 25 shows now and I’ve made some big deals away from TV. I’m out of my deal at STARZ tomorrow.”
He has since inked a deal with Lusid Media on a three-project partnership. Details of the partnership and financial numbers have not yet been revealed but the first film project will be an unscripted crime drama coming to Peacock next year.
“I am excited by the kind of stories we’re going to be bringing to life together, and can’t wait for the first project to reach Peacock next year,” 50 Cent said. “G-Unit Film & Television continues to go from strength-to-strength, and this partnership with Lusid is another great collaboration for the team.”

Black Adam star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson proclaimed that he’s been preparing to play the DC Extended Universe antihero since he was born.
“I started training for Black Adam when I came out of the womb,” Johnson joked to Men’s Journal. “I believe I was born to play this character. But in all honesty, this project has been with me for 10 ten years now. The process began when we started to stand the material up and really developed it into what it is present day. Once the start date was agreed on by our Seven Bucks production company, the rest of my team, Warner Bros. Studio, and DC Comics, I started to build an exhaustive training program with my coach Dave Rienzi. I wanted to come into this in the best shape of my career.”
Johnson previously discussed his plans to achieve the shape he needed to portray Black Adam, saying, “Shout to my long time strength and conditioning coach [Dave Rienzi] for the ever-evolving, strategic road map to success for this film and character. Month by month, week by week, day by day. 277 lbs of mean and nasty.”
As Johnson himself alluded to, Black Adam has been in the works for over a decade. “It’s like some things come fast, some things don’t, but it’s our job in this business to make sure we continue to keep all of them developing, and they’ll hatch when they’re ready,” executive producer Hiram Garcia recently explained. “When they’re ready, that’s when we give it to the world and go.”
Garcia also commented on Black Adam’s quality, which he had nothing but praise for. “A lot of times when you see that early cut, it sets a table where you realize, ‘Okay, now we understand how much work we got to do,” he said. “Granted, the movie’s in a stage where there are no effects done. It’s so fresh after filming. But anytime the movie is that entertaining and good in that raw of a form, it makes us very confident. So really excited about where the movie is. [Director Jaume Collet-Serra] has done such a good job.”
While not a great deal of information regarding its plot has been made available, an official synopsis for Black Adam notes the character will prepare to “unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world” after he’s set loose. As for his cinematic future, Garcia revealed that not only are there plans for a multiple-film arc for Black Adam but for multiple spinoffs, details of which remain under wraps.
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, Black Adam arrives in theatres on July 29.
Pearl Thusi in the upcoming Netflix film ‘Wu Assassins: Fistful of Vengeance’. Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for Fistful of Vengeance, its upcoming feature film that serves as a follow-up to the first season of Wu Assassins.
Actress Pearl Thusi has made Mzansi proud with her role in the upcoming Wu Assassins: Fistful of Vengeance.
Mzansi was beaming with pride after watching the trailer and took to social media to gush over Pearl.
The trailer for Fistful of Vengeance is chock-full of the hard-hitting action fans of Wu Assassins have come to expect. “Super-powered assassin Kai and friends Lu Xin and Tommy track a killer from San Francisco’s Chinatown to Thailand to avenge the death of a loved one,” Netflix’s official synopsis for the film reads. “But their hunt soon entangles them with old enemies, a mysterious billionaire and an ancient mystical force bent on taking over the world.
In the early hours of their first morning in the House, the Housemates spent a large portion of their time getting to know each other.
The excitement and thrill about being the first to occupy the #BBMzansi House in seven years had everyone feeling a little ecstatic about making the cut.
The conversations are rich and fascinating, each revealing a new layer about a different Housemate. While talking about relationships in one of the bedrooms, Sis Tamara, QV and Norman seemed to be of one mind that Zino will turn out to be the flirt of the House. His calm, unassuming demeanour seemed to be the biggest attribute to his possibly being a flirt without knowing it. Their reasoning is that it will just come out naturally.
On the other hand, Gash1 has confessed to going rogue. He admits he has a girlfriend, but she wasn’t made aware of his intention to be in BBMzansi. QV’s curiosity got the best of her and had the Housemates share their ages.
It seems this lot are more excited about being age mates. In their hopes of finding relatability, we hope this fosters a pleasant week of getting to know each other before they start unravelling.
Terry Treasure aside from being a BB Mzansi housemate is a makeup artiste and an adult content creator from Johannesburg. She’s known as ‘The Treasure’ on Onlyfans where she shares exclusive photos to those who have subscribed to her content on there.
Seems this year’s BBMzansi is really going to be a thrill – fans have already started following and no one wants to miss even a minute. The show has been trending on social media platforms from the day the doors were open.
