The Future of Godfather of Harlem

The interest is high, and the story is compelling, so it’s just a matter of time before “Godfather of Harlem” is renewed for another season. That being said, let’s explore where the holdup might be.
The Story So Far
“Godfather of Harlem” is an epic crime drama series from MGM+, formerly known as EPIX. The show has three seasons of action and is loosely based on true events about Bumpy Johnson, a 1960s American gangster living in Harlem, New York.
The series follows Bumpy as he tries to regain control of Harlem after spending 11 years in prison. However, the streets are now mainly controlled by the Italian mob – the Genovese crime family.
Bumpy took them head-on, but by Season 3, the game changed even further, and new players came to try and take their piece of the cake.
Those new players were mainly the Cuban mafia, whose headquarters were right next to Bumpy’s in Spanish Harlem. The Hispanic mobsters proved to be even more ruthless than the Italians.
The war for dominion over Harlem put not just Bumpy’s life on the line but also his family, friends, and associates.
To make matters even worse, the CIA is right on Bumpy’s tail, and as things stand, things have never been harder and more complicated for Johnson to handle.
That is exactly why it’s hard to imagine that Season 4 of “Godfather of Harlem” won’t happen sooner rather than later.
