STARZPLAY, the premium streaming service from Starz, announced today that it is the new home of the “Power” Universe from prolific creator, writer, producer and showrunner Courtney A. Kemp and executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson in all 49 of its countries, including the UK.

The spinoffs begin with the previously announced “POWER BOOK II: GHOST” and continue with three additional distinctive, gripping and mind-bending chapters that will have audiences captivated for years to come following yesterday’s “Power” series finale in the U.S. “Power” has been one of the most successful series in premium pay television during its six-year run, garnering more than 10 million multiplatform views in its last two seasons. 

In addition to “POWER BOOK II: GHOST,” which will pick up where the original series leaves off, starring world-renowned recording artist and Oscar^® nominee Mary J. Blige, Cliff “Method Man” Smith and several members of the original “Power” cast, a prequel and two additional spinoff sequels have been greenlit. All four series will be produced by Lionsgate Television.

“POWER BOOK III: RAISING KANAN” – the 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 “Power” series are 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. Also serving as executive producers on the series are Mark Canton through his Atmosphere Entertainment MM, Chris Selak and Danielle De Jesus through End of Episode and Shana Stein and Bart Wenrich. The series is produced by Lionsgate TV for STARZ.
