Godfather of Harlem is back with season 4, and there is a new player who just got off the bus uptown. Frank Lucas is new in town and trying to make something of himself, but he causes trouble for Bumpy Johnson and the mafia because he doesn’t follow any rules.

Godfather of Harlem stars Forest Whitaker, Ilfenesh Hadera, Lucy Fry, Antoinette Crowe-Legacy, Erik LaRay Harvey, Michael Raymond James, Vincent D’Onofrio, Whoopi Goldberg, Elvis Nolasco, Erik Palladino, and Rome Flynn.

I talked to Rome Flynn, who plays Frank Lucas, about playing a younger version of Frank Lucas we haven’t seen before, what Frank thinks of Bumpy Johnson, and if there is any jealousy there, and if Frank is fearless or just arrogant.

Godfather of Harlem season 4 premieres April 13th on MGM +.
