‘Power': Starz Opening Writers Room On New Spinoff As ‘Origins' Development Progresses
EXCLUSIVE: Amid Starz's push to build original IP with a raft of fully owned series in development following the split from Lionsgate, the network is also staying in business with its former sister studio on the flagship Power franchise and its continuous expansion. There is not one but two Power offshoots in the works, Deadline can reveal exclusively. The latest, which is currently untitled, comes from Gary Lennon (Power Book IV: Force) and Kendra Chapman (Power Book IV: Force), who executive produce, with Lennon also serving as showrunner. The writers room for the project, also known as Power: Legacy, is expected to open soon, sources said. More from Deadline 'Magic City: An American Fantasy' Docuseries Gets Premiere Date On Starz 'The Hunting Wives' Moves To Netflix For U.S. Following Lionsgate & Starz Separation; Premiere Date Set 'The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast' Renewed For Season 2 At Starz Featuring Interview With Terry Flenory No other details are available; however, Joseph Sikora and Michael Rainey Jr. are expected to lead the new series set in the present timeline, reprising their Power franchise roles of Tommy Egan and Tariq St. Patrick, respectively, we hear. The new offshoot is joining the prequel series Power: Origins, set after the events of Power Book III: Raising Kanan. In development since last year, Origins follows the early years of the beloved duo of Ghost and Tommy, who were played by Omari Hardwick and Sikora in the mothership series. Sascha Penn (Power Book III: Raising Kanan), who has been attached from the get-go as executive producer, will serve as showrunner on the prequel spinoff, whose development has progressed, with a writers' room currently open and its pickup chances looking good, we hear. If/when Origins is greenlighted, it would mark the fourth spinoff of the Power franchise, preceded by Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, which recently aired its fourth season and has filmed a fifth and final season; and Power Book IV: Force, which has wrapped filming its third and final season, coming later this year. They all followed the mothership Power series, which ran for 6 seasons. Power: Legacy is expected to follow the events of Force, as Ghost concluded its run last year. Essentially, this could open up a crossover for either Tommy or Tariq to travel to Chicago (Force) or New York City (Power, Power Book II: Ghost), OR somewhere completely new. Series executive producer and star Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson has previously shown interest in expanding the franchise across the pond in London, but it could honestly be set anywhere. Sikora has previously appeared in Ghost as Uncle Tommy in Seasons 1 and 3. Penn, who created Raising Kanan, teased in a recent interview with Deadline that the conclusion of the franchise's first prequel could herald the return of Ghost and Tommy to be played by new, younger actors set in their early years. 'We're in the lab on Origins right now, and we're figuring that out and trying to see what it looks like, or what it could look like. I'm super excited about that show, and the world it opens up. Your timeline is correct. Ghost and Tommy start to appear in Kanan's life, sometime fairly soon, they're still very young during Raising Kanan,' Penn shared last month. With the addition of Shameik Moore in the Season 4 finale of Raising Kanan as Branford 'Breeze' Frady, the nephew of street legends Snaps (Wendell Pierce) and Pop (Erika Woods), it sets up the possibility for Ghost and Tommy to appear before the screen goes dark. Ghost, Tommy, and Kanan (Jackson) were in the drug game together, with Breeze taking the trio under his wing. Ghost eventually kills Breeze in the late 90s, which later inspires Tariq to kill his father. The Power universe expansion fits Starz's plan of keeping profit margins healthy by ending series after several seasons and launching new spinoffs. 'You look at the [Power] map and say, 'OK, if I take one of those characters out and spin one of those out, I can bring that on to replace the Power show at half the cost,' CEO Jeff Hirsch said last year. In addition to its various Power spinoffs, Starz also has the Outlander and Spartacus franchises, with prequel Outlander: Blood of My Blood premiering August 8 and the Spartacus follow-up Spartacus: House of Ashur slated to debut later this year. The Power franchise is executive produced by the mothership creator and showrunner, Courtney A. Kemp, through her production company End of Episode, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson through G-Unit Film and Television, and Mark Canton through Canton Entertainment. Lionsgate Television is the studio.

As the third spinoff of the original Power series, it has carved its own path since its debut in 2022. With Season 2 wrapping up on November 10, 2023, anticipation for Power Book IV: Force Season 3 is at an all-time high. Here's everything we know so far about the release date, cast, plot details, and more. Release Date Speculation for Power Book IV: Force Season 3 While Starz has not announced an official premiere date for Power Book IV: Force Season 3, various sources point to a likely release window. Filming for the season began in February 2024 and wrapped in July 2024, suggesting a post-production timeline that aligns with a premiere in late spring to early summer 2025. Expected Cast of Power Book IV: Force Season 3 The core cast of Power Book IV: Force Season 3 is expected to return, with some exciting additions. Here's who we know will be back, based on available information: Joseph Sikora as Tommy Egan : The heart of the series, Tommy, will continue his quest for power in Chicago. Sikora himself confirmed the Season 3 renewal and teased its premiere window. Lucien Cambric as D-Mac : A key figure in Tommy's circle, expected to return. Anthony Fleming III as JP : Tommy's brother, whose storyline may deepen in the final season. Shane Harper as Vic Flynn : A recurring character with ties to Chicago's underworld. Isaac Keys as Diamond Sampson : A pivotal player in the drug game. Kris D. Lofton as Jenard Sampson : Diamond's brother, whose conflicts with Tommy could escalate. Tommy Flanagan as Walter Flynn : The Flynn family patriarch, if his character survives Season 2's events. Lili Simmons as Claudia Flynn: Another Flynn family member with a complex dynamic. Potential Plot Details for Power Book IV: Force Season 3 Power Book IV: Force Season 3 will be the final season of the series, as announced in June 2024, making it a pivotal chapter for Tommy Egan's story.

Season 3 is likely to focus on his efforts to solidify his empire while facing new enemies. A YouTube trailer breakdown hinted at a 'huge plot twist' that could redefine Tommy's journey. Family and Loyalty: Tommy's relationships with D-Mac and JP will likely take center stage, exploring themes of family and betrayal. The Flynn family's role, particularly after Season 2's dramatic events, could lead to intense confrontations. Chicago's Underworld: Expect more action-packed sequences, turf wars, and strategic maneuvering as Tommy battles for control. The final season may tie up loose ends from the Power universe, potentially connecting to other spinoffs like Power Book III: Raising Kanan . Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Power Book III: Raising Kanan to End With Season 5 — But Is This the Final Chapter for the Starz Franchise?
Power Book III is gearing up for its final chapter — which may or may not mark the end of the Power franchise as we know it. Starz on Friday announced that Power Book III: Raising Kanan will conclude with Season 5. The news was revealed in conjunction with the prequel series' Season 4 finale, which introduced Shameik Moore (Wu-Tang: An American Saga) as the oft-mentioned, but never-before-seen Branford 'Breeze' Frady. More from TVLine Power Book IV: Force Ending After 3 Seasons — EP Promises 'Fulfilling' Conclusion to Tommy's Story Power Prequel Series in the Works at Starz, Will Chronicle Origins of Ghost and Tommy Rescue HI-Surf Cancellation Explained: 'We Went All-In,' Says Fox Exec, But It 'Didn't Catch On Like We Had Hoped' 'It was always my intention that Raising Kanan would run for five seasons, and thanks to my friends and partners at Starz and Lionsgate, as well as the incredible cast, crew and writing staff, I've been able to tell the entirety of the story I set out to tell way back in 2019,' executive producer Sascha Penn said in a statement provided to our sister site Deadline. 'Having said that, with the table we've set in this season finale and the inevitable introduction of Breeze, there is still an exceptionally intense and action-packed season left for the viewers to experience, and I assure you that the stakes for Kanan and the entire Thomas family have never been higher. I'm very proud of this series, and grateful that we've been able to see it through to what is an incredibly explosive and satisfying conclusion for the unbelievably loyal fans of the Power Universe.' The original Power launched on Starz in 2014, and ended with Season 6 in 2020. That was followed by three spinoffs: Power Book II: Ghost (which aired four seasons and ended in October 2024), Power Book III: Raising Kanan (which will end with Season 5; premiere date TBA) and Power Book IV: Force (which will return for its third and final season this fall; premiere date TBA). A fourth offshoot, subtitled Influence and centered on slippery politician Rashad Tate, was called off in 2022. Two years later, Starz announced that Origins — which would delve into Ghost and Tommy's backstories, and presumably follow the events of Raising Kanan — was in active development, though there have been no further updates as of press time.
