As of April 2025, there is no official confirmation that The Family Business Season 6 will premiere in April 2025. However, creator Carl Weber has provided a clearer picture of the release timeline. In March 2025, Weber announced on social media that Season 6 is slated for a fall 2025 releasewith previous seasons typically premiering in September or October.
The Duncan family and their allies (and enemies) are the heart of The Family Businessand Season 6 is expected to bring back most of the core cast. While no official cast list has been released, here’s what to expect.
Ernie Hudson as L.C. Duncan: The patriarch of the Duncan family, L.C., remains the linchpin of the series, navigating family conflicts and criminal enterprises. Hudson’s active involvement in Season 6 discussions confirms his return.

The Family Business Season 6 is poised to pick up the high-stakes drama from Season 5’s explosive finale. While specific plot details are under wraps, Weber and cast hints, combined with the show’s trajectory, offer clues about what’s next for the Duncans.
Fallout from Season 5’s Civil War: Season 5 saw the Duncan family fractured by an internal “civil war,” with L.C. clashing with his son and the aftermath of Uncle Larry’s violent actions reverberating. Season 6 will likely explore the resolution of these tensions, as L.C. strives to keep the family atop New York’s criminal and financial hierarchy.
New Threats and Alliances: The Duncans will face fresh enemies, potentially including corrupt politicians, rival crime bosses, or corporate foes, as their car dealership and underground operations expand. Expect new alliances to form, possibly with characters introduced in The Family Business: New Orleans.
