Coinciding with the series finale of Power on Sunday, Starz has announced that it is set to launch an entire Power universe with three new spinoff shows joining the previously announced Power Book II: Ghost.
Power Book II: Ghost will pick up where the original series leaves off, and is set to feature Mary J. Blige, Cliff “Method Man” Smith and several members of the original Power cast. Here’s a first look sneak peek:

The addition spinoffs are:
Power Book III: Raising Kanan, a prequel story that takes viewers back to the ‘90s and the early years of iconic “Power” character Kanan Stark.
Power Book IV: Influence, which follows Rashad Tate (played by Larenz Tate) in his ruthless pursuit of political power.
Power Book V: Force, in which fans will ride along with Tommy Egan (played by Joseph Sikora) after he cuts ties and puts New York in his rearview mirror for good.
“In television history, only a select few shows have inspired four consecutive series extensions, launched into active production and development at the same time,” said Jeffrey Hirsch, President and CEO of Starz. “These new and exciting chapters will continue the journey of some of Power’s most controversial characters while featuring a growing ensemble of complex, distinct characters along with the high-octane drama that set Power in a class of its own.”
The new series series are all executive produced by series creator and showrunner Courtney A. Kemp through her company End of Episode, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson through his G-Unit Film and Television.
