MGM+ is set to give its Forest Whitaker-led crime drama “Godfather of Harlem” a proper ending with a special two-hour finale episode to be produced. The show’s fourth season concluded in June last year and saw Whitaker’s Bumpy Johnson continue his bloody war for control of Harlem against New York’s Mafia families, while contending with the arrival of gangster Frank Lucas (Rome Flynn). In the new finale, Bumpy faces the ultimate reckoning as the walls close in around his empire. With enemies converging from every direction – political, criminal, and personal – Bumpy must draw on every alliance, every sacrifice and every hard lesson to protect what he has built and the people he loves.
This man who rose from the streets of Harlem to reshape the power structures of an entire era must now decide what legacy he leaves behind. Chris Brancato and Paul Eckstein created the series, with Brancato serving as showrunner. Executive producers include Brancato, Whitaker, Michael Panes, Nina Yang Bongiovi, James Acheson and Markuann Smith. Source: Variety
