Well, Godfather of Harlem fans, if you haven’t heard, MGM+ has finally decided on the fate of the popular crime drama, over a year after the last new episode of the show aired. According to an official press release, the show is set to end with a two-hour series finale. Technically, it’s being treated as the official season finale of Season 4, following the events of the last aired episode back on June 22, 2025. 

Now, fans will still want to temper their anticipation for the forthcoming supersized episode as production is slated to begin on the project this July, and there’s no set release date. However, in some good news, Forest Whitaker is returning as Bumpy Johnson, along with Ilfenesh Hadera as Mayme, Antoinette Crowe-Legacy as Elise, Erik LaRay Harvey as Del Chance, and Rome Flynn as Frank Lucas. 

What Is the ‘Godfather of Harlem’ Series Finale About? 

Naturally, all the particulars and details of the two-hour finale are being held under lock and key. However, MGM+ did release the following synopsis: 

“Bumpy Johnson faces the ultimate reckoning as the walls close in around his empire. With enemies converging from every direction—political, criminal, and personal—Bumpy must draw on every alliance, every sacrifice, and every hard lesson earned across five seasons to protect what he has built and the people he loves. The two-hour conclusion delivers the culmination of Bumpy’s extraordinary saga: a man who rose from the streets of Harlem to reshape the power structures of an entire era, and who now must decide what legacy he leaves behind.”

To add more context to this, in the last aired episode of the Godfather of Harlem, “Unity Day,” chaos erupted as Elise worked with the Black Panthers, leading to their young member Jerome (Elijah Wright) attempting to kill Joe Colombo (Michael Raymond-James) at the Italian Unity Day rally. Additionally, Bumpy was floored to discover his longtime friend and associate, Nat Pettigrew (Elvis Nolasco), had betrayed him and joined Colombo.  So a few storylines can be tied up with Elise, the Black Panthers, the Italian Mob, and of course, Bumpy Johnson in a two-hour finale episode. 

Three Reasons this ‘Godfather of Harlem’ Finale Episode Makes Sense

The upcoming Godfather of Harlem episode makes sense for three main reasons. First and foremost, fans deserve a more complete ending to a show that’s entertained the masses for four seasons. As already mentioned, there were a lot of storylines left open in the last episode, so it would be nice to have some finality for the series regulars. 

Then there’s the timeline of it all. The beginning of Season 4 picks up in 1966. In real life, Bumpy Johnson died in 1968. While the series isn’t a stranger to dramatizing the actual historical timeline to fit show plots, it’s doubtful that writers would want to take the onscreen version of Johnson past 1968, so the show only had a limited time left with Johnson as the lead focus anyway. 

Last, but not least, as much as I love Godfather of Harlem, with familiar walls from past seasons already closing in on Johnson, a full-season order may not be as necessary to drive home the dramatic point. But hey, I’m looking at the finale as a movie ending. 

While we all wait for the upcoming episode, past Godfather of Harlem episodes can be streamed on MGM+ or Disney+ with a subscription.

Why We Love This Deal

Walmart’s Summer Deals sale had tons of great deals on Milwaukee tools, and even though the sale has ended, a few of the discounts, like the M12/M18 combo charger, have stuck around. But that’s hardly the most impressive one: Walmart is still selling Milwaukee’s top-rated impact wrench kit, one that professional contractors and automotive workers rave about, at a scorching $400 discount.

The Milwaukee M18 Fuel ½-inch High Torque and ⅜-inch Mid-Torque Impact Wrench Combo Kit is on sale at Walmart for $600, a 40% markdown from its normal price of $999. Also known as an “automotive combo kit,” this bundle includes two impact wrenches for loosening and driving all kinds of heavy-duty fasteners, especially the kind of nuts and bolts you’d find on a vehicle. This is a pro-level toolkit, and if you’re doing serious wrenching, it’s well worth the investment. Lesser drills just typically can’t muster the power and torque needed to work on cars, at least not this consistently.

Milwaukee M18 Fuel ½-inch High Torque and ⅜-inch Mid-Torque Impact Wrench Combo Kit, $600 (was $999) at Walmart

What Shoppers Should Know

• Tool Series: M18
• ½-inch Wrench Torque: 1,500 ft-lbs
• ⅜-inch Wrench Torque: 600 ft-lbs
• Batteries: 2 5Ah M18 batteries
• Also Included: Carry case, charger

The two impact wrenches in this bundle are designed to complement each other. The ⅜-inch model has a “mid-torque” design that can crank out up to 600 foot-pounds of torque, while the beefier half-inch model is a “high-torque” unit with over double the torque, at 1,500 foot-pounds. The mid-torque is great for general wrenching and loosening duties, while you can call in the bigger unit for serious jobs, like loosening or tightening truck lug nuts. With the included 5Ah batteries and charger, you’ll have everything you need to start working right out of the box.

Even at 40% off, however, this is still a pricey set. If you’re a home hobbyist and don’t need to invest in pro-grade tools, you could consider Milwaukee’s M12 “stubby” impact, which has a lightweight, compact design—great for reaching into tight spaces in an engine bay—but still puts out up to 550 foot-pounds of torque. Walmart has it on sale for just $174, making it a smarter buy.

What Shoppers Are Saying

Shoppers, including multiple professional mechanics, have left glowing feedback for this Milwaukee impact wrench set. One called them the “best in the market,” and another said the set “helps me blow right through all kinds of work, no problem.” Another agreed, saying they’re “perfect for automotive work,” and a fourth reviewer noted they’re “much more efficient” than pneumatic impact wrenches powered by compressed air—a standard tool in many mechanic shops.

This top-tier Milwaukee wrench set has all the accessories you need to start working, and although the normal price is steep, the 40% discount makes it much more palatable for seasoned pros on a budget. Milwaukee tools always sell fast at Walmart, so swoop in and grab yours ASAP before this awesome deal disappears.

It’s only July 1, but Netflix has already 18 original series. More than two dozen have been renewed, with several still waiting on their fate.

Canada Sports Betting (CSB) has examined the ones in limbo in an attempt to determine which Netflix series is likely to be canceled next. They site used four data points: how long Netflix has gone silent, chart performance, critic and audience scores, and live IMDb popularity, as of June 30.

The ‘most likely’ next cancellation may surprise you

According to CSB, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast has a 77.8% chance of getting canceled, ahead of Beef (44.3%) and The Witness (34.8%).

The eight-part Irish comedy thriller premiered on Netflix on February 12, to widespread audience and critical approval. It has a 95% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, along with a 79/100 on Metacritic, based on “generally favorable” critical reviews.

That’s great, but it isn’t enough to overcome middling ratings, says CSB.

“Never appeared in the Global Top 10. Anywhere. Once. Reviews are strong: 95% critic, 79% audience. It does not matter without chart numbers to back it up,” the outlet wrote. “Five months. No word. That is the story.”

What is the story?

Well, Netflix hasn’t said anything yet, even though it has been almost five full months since the series hit the platform.

This week, What’s on Netflix’s Kasey Moore praised the series, adding that the door was left open for a second installment. However, he is “leaning” toward it being canceled.

“[Creator Lisa] McGee herself has publicly stated she purposefully left things open for a second season but acknowledged that it’s entirely up to the audience turnout,” Moore said. “It never took to the charts in any meaningful way, and we suspect we won’t see a return of any description.”

McGee did indeed say at the time of the show’s release that she had the material for another season, but also acknowledged she was at the mercy of audiences.

“I’ve left it open for a second series but it’s all completely down to how many people watch. I’d love to do one,” she said.
