The Power franchise continues to expand with the announcement of a new spinoff titled Power: Legacy, featuring the return of fan-favorite characters Tariq St. Patrick and Tommy Egan. The project is in development at Starz and is set to be produced by Gary Lennon and Kendra Chapman, who previously worked on Power Book IV: Force, with Lennon serving as the showrunner.
Power: Legacy will join the ranks of existing spinoffs, including Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Power Book IV: Force, which have collectively contributed to the franchise’s ongoing success since the original series debuted in 2014. The expansion of the Power universe highlights its popularity and the enduring connection fans have with its characters.
The new series will take place in the present timeline, allowing for potential crossover opportunities between Tariq, played by Michael Rainey Jr., and Tommy, portrayed by Joseph Sikora. Both actors are set to reprise their roles, much to the excitement of the Power fanbase.
In addition to Power: Legacy, there is also a project in the works titled Power: Origins, which focuses on the early years of Ghost and Tommy, although it has not yet been officially picked up by the network. The showrunner for this prequel is Sascha Penn, known for his work on Raising Kanan, and reports suggest that the chances of it moving forward are promising.
As the Power franchise gears up for more content, fans can look forward to the conclusion of Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Power Book IV: Force, both of which are set to return for their final seasons. The continued development of the Power universe reinforces the franchise’s ability to adapt and thrive, ensuring that beloved characters remain at the forefront of the narrative.
With the return of established stars and the introduction of new storylines, Power: Legacy is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the franchise, further solidifying Power’s status as a prominent player in the realm of television drama. Fans eagerly await more details as production progresses and the series moves closer to its debut on Starz.
