The Godfather of Harlem chronicles the tale of infamous American gangster Bumpy Johnson and the tremendous hurdles he encountered after his release from jail a decade later. According to EPIX, here’s a synopsis of the upcoming season:
“In Season Three, Bumpy Johnson is still fighting for dominance of Harlem with other contenders to the throne, particularly the Cuban Mafia from adjacent Spanish Harlem.”
The description continues,
“Taking on the Cuban mafia would place Bumpy, his loved ones, and his neighborhood in the sights of not just competing Italians, but also merciless Latin assassins and, eventually, the CIA. ‘Godfather of Harlem’ is a clash between the criminal underworld with the civil rights movement during one of America’s most turbulent periods.’
