Idris and the rest of the show’s cast and crew had to deal with tragedy off-screen as well. “I think I know what Franklin’s going to do in season five, but whatever he’s going to do is going to be monstrous, and I think it’s going to be something that’s going to keep the audience on the edge of their seat because although Franklin understands this Fredo-esque betrayal that his father’s giving him, deep down he still loves him … It’s going to be tragic for Cissy, and I think Franklin is going to have to deal with that.” Or does he finish the job? “We don’t know if Reed is going to pull that trigger,” Idris explains.

During that tense scene, “it wasn’t intended for Franklin to ever raise his gun. It leads to a standoff in which Franklin threatens to turn on Teddy to protect his father. “They’re trying to reconcile their relationship, and now to see what he’s done to the business, to see what he’s done to Franklin’s life and his reality, it’s such an amazing journey,” says Idris. Season four ended with Franklin forced to choose between CIA agent Reed aka Teddy McDonald ( Carter Hudson), his partner in the cocaine business, and his father Alton ( Kevin Carroll), who betrayed Franklin by going to the press about his drug operation.
