Godfather of Harlem โ Season 4 returns with more intensity, as Bumpy Johnson (Forest Whitaker) continues his war to regain full control of Harlem from the grip of the Italian Mafia. Set against the volatile backdrop of the mid-1960s, the new season begins in the wake of Malcolm Xโs assassination, a moment that shakes the foundations of the community and sets the stage for a fierce battle over Harlemโs future.
As civil unrest simmers and loyalties shift, Bumpy finds himself facing a dangerous new rival: Frank Lucas (played by Rome Flynn). Young, driven, and unafraid to break the rules, Lucas emerges as a rising force in the criminal underworldโchallenging Bumpyโs empire from within and forcing him to confront a new kind of enemy.

At the same time, tensions grow within Bumpyโs own household. His daughter Elise becomes deeply embedded in the Black Panther movement, drawn to radical change and armed resistance. Her activism, while powerful, creates a widening chasm between her ideals and her fatherโs more pragmatic, street-based authority.

Season 4 explores the fine line between power and purpose, delving into betrayals that cut deep and alliances that are always at risk. Whether in the smoke-filled backrooms of politics or the bloodied streets of Harlem, every decision Bumpy makes now carries a heavy cost.

With its rich mix of history, crime, and personal drama, Godfather of Harlem continues to deliver a powerful narrative of survival, legacy, and revolutionโwhere the true battle is not just for control of the streets, but for the soul of a community on the edge.
