Power Prequel About Young Ghost and Tommy Gets Series Order at Starz

The character played by Omari Hardwick in Starz's Power will live again in the prequel series Power: Origins, which the network officially ordered to series Tuesday. More from TVLine The new drama will follow Ghost and his best friend, Tommy (played by Joseph Sikora in the original series and Power Book IV: Force), 'as ambitious young entrepreneurs on the rise, determined to make their mark on the streets of New York City,' the official logline reads. 'A fun, rambunctious exploration of a new time period in the Power franchise, Power: Origins will highlight the unbridled audacity of young men on the rise, determined to become legends in the game.' ADVERTISEMENT MeKai Curtis, who plays the titular young Kanan Stark in the prequel Power Book III: Raising Kanan, will reprise that role in the new series, as well. Power: Origins' Season 1 will consist of 18 episodes. Starz announced it was developing the series in March 2024. Raising Kanan executive producer Sascha Penn will serve as showrunner, writer and EP on the new series. 'Ghost and Tommy's backstories have fueled years of constant fascination and speculation among fans, and I'm thrilled to be able to answer some long-held questions and share new layers of the story that viewers won't see coming,' Penn said via statement. The Power Universe as a whole is executive-produced by Courtney A. Kemp, the creator and showrunner of the original Power, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson and Mark Canton. Lionsgate Television will produce. Origins will be Power's fourth offshoot. It was preceded by Power Book II: Ghost, which centered on Ghost and Tasha's son, Tariq, and aired its series finale in 2024; the aforementioned Raising Kanan, which will end with its upcoming fifth season; and Power Book IV: Force, which follows adult Tommy's exploits in Chicago and which will end with its upcoming third season.
