MGM+ is ending its crime drama “Godfather of Harlem” with a two-hour series finale, and the series will not return for a full fifth season. The show, starring Forest Whitaker as Harlem gangster Bumpy Johnson, began streaming on Epix (later rebranded as MGM+) on September 29, 2019. Season 4 debuted on April 13, 2025 and concluded on June 22, 2025, following a yearlong gap since the prior season. Multiple outlets report that MGM+ is choosing a concluding finale in place of a complete final season, framing it as a proper wrap-up of the four-season arc. Deadline and Variety describe the finale as a two-hour event meant to conclude the story of Johnson’s ongoing conflict for control in 1960s Harlem. ComingSoon.net similarly reports that while an official Season 5 is not moving forward on MGM+, fans will still receive a final conclusion through the planned finale. The outlets collectively confirm the decision to end the series after four seasons and provide consistent timing details for the most recent season’s run.
