The Family Business by Carl Weber is one of the most anticipated crime drama shows on all American streaming platforms. It depicts the split personality of the Duncan family while trying to run a legitimate automobile distribution business and maintain a place in the crime world where loyalty and power rule and betrayal is commonplace. Viewer excitement is at an all-time high as they await season 7 to experience more family conflict, new relationships, revenge, and family bonds that can’t be broken after the dramatic ending to season 6, which aired December 18th, 2025. Though BET+ (merging with Paramount+ in June), the enthusiasm that creator Carl Weber has for the show, as well as remaining open plotlines, all suggest that season 7 will be premiering soon.

Carl Weber’s The Family Business Season 7: Renewal Status

As of March 17th, 2026, there has not yet been a formal announcement from either BET+ or from Carl Weber regarding the renewal or cancellation of BET+’s “The Family Business” for Season 7. The Season 6 finale aired on December 18th, 2025 and left many plot lines unresolved, such as family fights, family unity, and what will happen to several different characters, including the pivotal moment for Junior Duncan. Fans across social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram and YouTube) have been very active in discussing how they want the show to continue and how they are frustrated with the long wait, along with wondering what will happen to these characters after they finish tying up the loose ends left in the Season 6 finale.

Additionally, BET+’s franchise is expanding with its spinoff series, “The Family Business: New Orleans,” which premiered in January 2025 and concluded in March 2025, and this may impede the timing of when the main series (the Family Business) will be able to produce new episodes for Season 7, due to the prioritization of the focus on the New Orleans storyline.

Carl Weber’s The Family Business Season 7: Release Date Speculation

There’s still no actual release date for the next season of “The Family Business”. Based on fan theories and the breakdowns/insights posted to YouTube from YouTubers that suggest there will be a continuation of the series past season 6 (assuming they renew), it appears that “The Family Business” could come back sometime in 2026 — via BET+. The pattern shown in all of the seasons shows the same pattern of being released around the same time each year:

• Season 6 premiered on October 23, 2025, and concluded on December 18, 2025


• All of the previous seasons were released in the autumn/winter months as well.

A tangible date for the new season’s production hasn’t been confirmedso any projected dates are speculation. Carl Weber (the show’s creator) has been supportive of continuing the story of the Duncan family, and due to the show’s success and the viewers’ support, it’s very likely that the show will be renewed; however, nothing is official yet.

Carl Weber’s The Family Business Season 7: Cast

The core cast has remained consistent across seasons. Expected to return (based on prior seasons and no reports of major departures) if Season 7 happens:

• Ernie Hudson as L.C. Duncan (the family patriarch)


• Valarie Pettiford as Charlotte Duncan


• Darrin Henson as Orlando Duncan


• Javicia Leslie as Paris Duncan


• Sean Ringgold as Junior Duncan


• Tami Roman as Donna Duncan


• Michael A. Núñez Jr. (recurring/associated roles)


• Other recurring players like Arrington Foster (as Rio Duncan) and various alliance/family members.

New characters or returns from Season 6 (e.g., involving Vegas, Randy, or other plot elements) could expand the ensemble, but details aren’t available without renewal.

Carl Weber’s The Family Business Season 7: Plot Details

Season 7 of this series has no official plot summary yet; it has yet to be renewed or produced. However, there have been some fan predictions and speculation about potential storylines based on the Season 6 finale (which involved revenge storylines and family backstabbing for leadership, as well as characters like Randy being problematic or alliances shifting), so here are some common themes seen in speculation.

Some of these themes include:

• Power Struggles within the Duncan Family – Example Junior vs Vegas for the lead position.


• Threats From Outside Rival Families, Police, and Internal Conflicts.


• Loyalty, Survival & What Happens When Legitimate Businesses Are Mixed With the Criminal Underworld.

Each season tends to build on unresolved storylines from previous seasons, such as alliances between families, backstabbing between family members, and high-stakes drama. Given the New Orleans spin-off’s connection to the larger Duncan Universe, this could mean future crossover episodes between either series or references back to the original series.

For updates, be sure to check official sources like BET+’s website, the show’s Instagram page (@familybusinessbet), or Carl Weber’s announcements. If renewal announcements happen (because it is March 2026 and renewal news is expected soon), that will be soon since this franchise continues. The fans have been very vocal; many want more seasons!
