“Godfather of Harlem is that rare show that is both addictively entertaining and deeply relevant,” expressed Michael Wright, president of EPIX when the crime drama was initially renewed for season three. “Forest Whitaker, Chris Brancato, and Paul Eckstein have crafted a series that deserves all the acclaim it has received, and it grows more compelling every season.”
