It’s been nearly a year-and-a-half since fans of Epix’s breakout hit series, ‘Godfather of Harlem,’ bid the show’s freshman season adieu, but their patience for its return is finally being rewarded with the official sneak peek at season 2.
Picking up right where its cliffhanger predecessor ended, the 1960’s-set drama’s sophomore run sees Bumpy Johnson (Forest Whitaker) battling the New York crime families for control of the lucrative and murderous “French Connection.” His ambition will see him not only make enemies of Italian crime bosses, but also law enforcement and even Malcolm X.
A masterful and poignant dramatization of how the crime underworld and civil rights movement intersected during the time period, look inside to see what you can expect from the show’s next swing at the ratings bat.
