It’s been over two years since Godfather of Harlem season 3 wrapped, but to the delight of show fans, Godfather of Harlem season 4 is back. The new season of the historical drama picks up in the aftermath of the assassination of Malcolm X (Jason Alan Carvell), and with Bumpy Johnson (Forest Whitaker) at a crossroads about whether or not he’s ready to reshape his legacy. Additionally, season 4 sees the arrival of a new player in Harlem, Rome Flynn's Frank Lucas.
What to Watch recently got the opportunity to speak with Flynn, and we asked him how his portrayal of Lucas changes the dynamic of the show. For many, the legend of Lucas doesn’t need much of an introduction, as the kingpin’s lure was a focal point of the BET series American Gangster and, of course, Denzel Washington portrayed Lucas in the Oscar-nominated movie American Gangster (one of our 25 best Black movies of the last 25 years).
