‘Godfather of Harlem’ Season 2 Preview
“Godfather of Harlem” tells a story “inspired by infamous Harlem crime boss Bumpy Johnson (Forest Whitaker), who in the early 1960s returned from eleven years in prison to find the neighborhood he once ruled in shambles,” according to the EPIX press release. Now it returns for its second season with 10 new episodes continuing the story.
The press release continues:
Season 2 finds Bumpy battling the New York Crime Families for control of the lucrative and murderous “French Connection,” the pipeline for heroin that runs from Marseilles to New York Harbor. With a distribution syndicate that includes black crime bosses from other major U.S. cities, Bumpy takes a cue from his friend Malcolm X’s message of black economic nationalism.
His ambitious plan will face challenges from not only the Italians but his wife Mayme, daughter Elise, rival Adam Clayton Powell, prosecutor Robert Morgenthau, and even Malcolm himself. Once again, Godfather of Harlem explores the collision of the criminal underworld and civil rights in the colorful, tumultuous year of 1964.
In addition to Oscar-winner Forest Whitaker as star and executive producer, season 2 sees the return of cast members Vincent D’Onofrio, Ilfenesh Hadera, Nigél Thatch, Giancarlo Esposito, Lucy Fry, Rafi Gavron, and Antoinette Crowe-Legacy. Cast members Erik LaRay Harvey and Demi Singleton have been upped to series regulars.
The second season has also added Justin Bartha, Annabella Sciorra and Ronald Guttman in recurring roles, and Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Michael Rispoli, Neal Matarazzo, and Grace Porter as guest stars, according to Deadline.
Bartha plays U.S. District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, a “deeply moral man and absolute killer in the courtroom.” Sciorra is mob wife Fay Bonanno. Her husband is famous mob boss Joe Bonanno and she is “deeply entrenched” in his business. And Guttman joins the cast as “ruthless, intelligent, cultured, and extreme dapper” Frenchman Jean Jehan.
“Godfather of Harlem” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on EPIX.
