In season three of BMF, Detective Bryant is no longer Detective Jin’s partner and now Jin is paired with newcomer Detective Emerson. At first skeptical to work together, they build a bond that hopefully helps them clean up the crime in the streets.

“BMF” season three stars returning actors Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. (“Euphoria”) as “Demetrius Flenory,” Da’Vinchi (“All American,” “Grown-ish”) as “Terry Flenory,” Russell Hornsby(Fences, The Hate U Give) as “Charles Flenory,” Michole Briana White (“Dead to Me,” She Hate Me) as “Lucille Flenory,” Steve Harris (“The Practice,” Diary of a Mad Black Woman) as “Detective Bryant,”Kelly Hu (The Scorpion King, “The Orville”) as “Detective Jin,” La La Anthony (“The Chi,” Think Like a Man) as “Markisha,” Sydney Mitchell (“First Wives Club”) as “LaWanda” and Laila D. Pruitt (Secret Headquarters) as “Nicole Flenory.” Previously announced special guest stars include Grammy Award winners Dominique “Lil Baby” Jones (It’s Only Me, 2022) making his acting debut as “Payne,” NE-YO(“Dance Monsters,” Hip-Hop Family Christmas Wedding) as “Rodney ‘Greeny’ Green,” 2 Chainz (“The Enforcer”) as “Stacks,” Grammy-nominated artist and actress Saweetie (“Bel-Air,” “Grown-ish”) as “Keeya,” and Cynthia Bailey (“Real Housewives of Atlanta”) as “Gloria.” 

I talked to Kelly Hu, who plays Detective Veronica Jin, and Morgan Alexandria, who plays Detective Emerson, about Jin taking Emerson under her wing, how things are for Jin who no longer has Detective Bryant as a partner, if Emerson’s dark past helps or hurts her as a detective, and why Kelly rather be naked thing sing in public.
