STARZ<\/a> announced today that La La Anthony<\/strong> (\u201cThe Chi\u201d, The Perfect Find) has been upped to series regular for the second season of \u201cBMF\u201d<\/strong> with Kelly Hu<\/strong> (The Scorpion King, X2: X-Men) joining the cast as series regular and Christine Horn<\/strong> (\u201cSnowfall,\u201d \u201cBlack-ish\u201d) set to recur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La La Anthony<\/strong> will reprise her role as Markisha Taylor, who will have an expanded storyline in the second season. Markisha is the smart, sophisticated and street savvy wife of a powerful Detroit dealer. Despite the risk, Terry begins to pursue her relentlessly and they develop a friendship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly Hu<\/strong> will star as Detective Veronica Jin, a smart, complex and tough cop out on the streets. Jin\u2019s emotional journey is both universal and unique as she is a product of the American Dream shaped by her Chinese immigrant parents, but unique because Jin becomes the only Asian American, female detective in the murder capital of the world in the \u201880s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christine Horn<\/strong> will recur as Mabel Jones, a trusted friend and neighbor to the Flenory family. Despite her vivacious facade, the Flenory\u2019s will discover there\u2019s more to Mabel than what meets the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthony, Hu and Horn will join the existing cast including: Demetrius \u201cLil Meech\u201d Flenory Jr<\/strong>., the son of Demetrius \u201cBig Meech\u201d Flenory; Da\u2019Vinchi<\/strong> (The Way Back, \u201cgrown-ish\u201d), **Russell Hornsby **(Fences, The Hate U Give), Michole Briana White<\/strong> (\u201cDead to Me,\u201d She Hate Me), Myles Truitt<\/strong> (\u201cBlack Lightening,\u201d \u201cThe New Edition Story\u201d) and Steve Harris<\/strong> (\u201cThe Practice,\u201d Diary of a Mad Black Woman). Snoop Dogg<\/strong> (Dolemite Is My Name, Soul Plane, Training Day), Arkeisha \u201cKash Doll\u201d Knight<\/strong>, Wood Harris<\/strong> (\u201cEmpire,\u201d Creed), and Serayah<\/strong> (\u201cEmpire,\u201d Favorite Son) star in recurring roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBMF\u201d is executive produced by Curtis \u201c50 Cent\u201d Jackson (co-creator of the \u201cPower\u201d Universe, \u201cFor Life\u201d), alongside showrunner, executive producer, writer and Detroit native Randy Huggins (\u201cStar,\u201d \u201cRebel,\u201d \u201cPower\u201d). Heather Zuhlke joins as an executive producer on the sophomore season with Anthony Wilson and Anne Clements who are both set to return to executive produce. \u201cBMF\u201d is produced through Jackson\u2019s G-Unit Film and Television in association with Lionsgate Television for STARZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"La<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

About \u201cBMF\u201d<\/strong> \u201cBMF\u201d is inspired by true legends who rose from the decaying streets of southwest Detroit in the late 1980s and gave birth to one of the most influential crime families in this country. Demetrius \u201cBig Meech\u201d Flenory\u2019s charismatic leadership, Terry \u201cSouthwest T\u201d Flenory\u2019s business acumen and the fraternal partnership\u2019s vision beyond the drug trade and into the world of hip-hop would render the brothers iconic on a global level. Their unwavering belief in family loyalty would be the cornerstone of their partnership and the crux of their eventual estrangement. This is a story about love, kinship and capitalism in the pursuit of the American dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
