My sources has informed me that ABC TV STUDIOS was filming a new series in the Lennox Avenue apartment complex today ; 'THE GODFATHER OF HARLEM'.
Godfather of Harlem is an upcoming American crime drama television series that is set to premiere in 2019 on Epix. The series will be written by Chris Brancato and Paul Eckstein and star Forest Whitaker, all of whom will act as executive producers alongside Nina Yang Bongiovi, James Acheson, and Markuann Smith. Brancato is also expected to act as showrunner.
Godfather of Harlem tells the "true story of infamous crime boss Bumpy Johnson, who in the early 1960s returned from ten years in prison to find the neighborhood he once ruled in shambles. With the streets controlled by the Italian mob, Bumpy must take on the Genovese crime family to regain control. During the brutal battle, he forms an alliance with radical preacher Malcolm X – catching Malcolm’s political rise in the crosshairs of social upheaval and a mob war that threatens to tear the city apart."
