The Family Business, created by Carl Weber, is an American drama series about a family that owns a car dealership company in New York. The family’s patriarch is L.C. Duncan (Ernie Hudson), the CEO of Duncan Motors. He is a successful businessman with an excellent reputation, but now he decides to pass the company’s leadership to his son, Orlando Duncan.
The series has been going on since 2018, with the 1st episode of Season 4 being released on July 28, 2022. The 1st season of The Family Business aired on BET but starting from Season 2 the show airs on BET+ (BET’s streaming service). Even though the 4th season has just begun, that doesn’t mean we cannot talk about The Family Business Season 5 as we want to find out if these are the last episodes we’ll be witnessing.
The Family Business Season 5 Release Date
When the series was renewed for a 4th season in January 2022, BET did not include any information about Season 4 being the final season. So, the show’s future is not certain because no renewal news is out there either. If we look at the renewal dates of the previous seasons, we’ll see that it is wise to wait for at least a few weeks before concluding the show’s future.
BET renewed the series for a 2nd season only a month after the premiere of the 1st season. However, this changed for the other seasons, where we had to wait a few months to get any clue about a new season. For instance, Season 3 became certain 5 months after the initial release of Season 2, and Season 4 was approved 3 months after the 3rd season came out. That said, it looks like we have to wait for a while to learn anything about a potential Season 5.
If the show is renewed anytime soon, it is possible to say that we will be able to watch it in roughly a year, considering there is usually a little longer than a year between the seasons of the series. We are expecting to see Season 5 in September or October 2023.
