Can't Cancel Christmas: ‘Power' Prequel ‘Origins' Gets 18-Episode Order At STARZ, ‘Raising Kanan's' MeKai Curtis Joining Cast
STARZ is spinning the block and stepping back in time by showcasing the bold beginnings of the Power Universe. Source: Michael Kovac / Getty After years of fan theories, flashbacks, and early announcements, STARZ has greenlit Power: Origins , an 18-episode prequel series focused on Tommy and Ghost's early days before Truth Nightclub, betrayal, and bloody finales. Described as a 'fun, rambunctious' look at their rise, Power: Origins will follow James 'Ghost' St. Patrick and Tommy Egan as young, wild, and way too ambitious up-and-comers, navigating New York's underworld with big plans and even bigger problems. Not even that, but an official press release reports that MeKai Curtis is set to reprise his Power Book III: Raising Kanan role. Source: Courtesy / Starz 'I'm excited to continue to explore the origin stories of the Power Universe's founding fathers,' said Sascha Penn, showrunner, writer and executive producer in a statement. '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.' Kathryn Busby, STARZ's President of Original Programming, also made it clear this one's for the day-ones. 'Our fans have been asking for Ghost and Tommy's origins story since we first met them in Power — and with the launch of this series, we're delivering in a big way,' said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming for STARZ. 'This marks an electrifying new chapter in the franchise's evolution as we dive deep into the legacy of these iconic characters and the explosive moments that shaped their path.' Power: Origins marks the fourth spin-off in the ever-expanding Power Universe, joining Power Book II: Ghost (which just wrapped its final season in 2024), Raising Kanan (returning for a fifth and final season), and Power Book IV: Force (set to close out this fall). The crew behind the camera remains stacked: Courtney A. Kemp returns as executive producer through End of Episode, along with Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson (G-Unit Film and Television), Mark Canton (Canton Entertainment), Pete Chatmon, and Chris Selak. Lionsgate Television is producing for STARZ.

Gibbs meets 'NCIS' wife in 'Origins' finale: Did he kiss his greatest love goodbye?
Gibbs meets 'NCIS' wife in 'Origins' finale: Did he kiss his greatest love goodbye? Show Caption Hide Caption Lala and Gibbs reckon with murder probe on 'NCIS: Origins' Gibbs' long-ago revenge murder is unearthed in CBS' new 'NCIS: Origins' prequel Spoiler alert: This story includes plot details from the April 28 "NCIS: Origins" season finale. The "NCIS: Origins" love story between young Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Austin Stowell) and Cecilia "Lala" Dominguez (Mariel Molino) might be tragically over, even before the first kiss. The "NCIS" prequel series has flirted with the budding romance between Dominguez and circa-1991 NIS agent Gibbs, who is still reeling over his wife and daughter's murder. In the April 28 Season 1 finale (now streaming on Paramount+), Gibbs' sniper killing of the drug lord Pedro Hernandez, to avenge his family's death, reemerges with catastrophic consequences for Dominguez and Gibbs. There are twists, "NCIS" canon fodder, a tantalizing near-kiss, heartbreak and even more questions to be answered in Season 2 next fall. "We leave this as a cliffhanger for everyone," says executive producer Gina Lucita Monreal, who joins fellow exec producer David J. North in breaking down the Season 1 finale. 'NCIS: Origins' Gibbs Austin Stowell got Mark Harmon reality check: 'Are you ready for this?' Dominguez and Gibbs stop their first 'Origins' kiss Mark Harmon narrates the series as retired Gibbs, in the role the "NCIS" star played for nearly two decades. Harmon, also an executive producer, set the tone with his fireside monologue in the "Origins" premiere: "This is a story I don't tell. This is the story of her." That pronoun signifies Dominguez, as the finale (titled "Cecilia," Lala's full first name) makes abundantly clear. The season-long will-they-won't-they chemistry between Dominguez and Gibbs explodes after the out-of-the-blue investigation into Hernandez's death brought by Dominguez's good friend, military police investigator Lara Macy (Claire Berger). Rather than pull Dominguez and mentor Mike Franks (Kyle Schmid) into a planned coverup, Gibbs ends the investigation by taking the fall. He digs up the buried rifle he used to shoot Hernandez and hands it over to Macy. Relieved by resolution, Gibbs finds Dominguez in the swimming pool she often trespasses in at night, sheds most of his clothes and dives in. The duo has the steamiest water clinch that doesn't end in a kiss in TV history. The lip lock stops short, centimeters away. "We talked a lot about whether we should let that kiss happen or not. We wanted to get them to the point where they both wanted it to happen. We brought them to the edge," Monreal says. "But Gibbs couldn't let that happen, because that kiss would have been tainted with the enormous news he had to tell her. He knew that would change everything." When Gibbs tells Dominguez that he has turned over his rifle to Macy to take the fall, it definitely ends the love vibe. She leaves the pool disgusted, saying, "I'm done." No first kiss. Dominguez fills in 'NCIS' mystery: Why Macy dropped Gibbs' case But she's not done. Unbeknownst to Gibbs, Dominguez falsely implicates herself in Hernandez's killing to convince her friend, Macy, to drop the case. "She put it all on the line for Gibbs," North says. Dominguez's move fills in "NCIS" series lore. Macy appears in Season 6 of "NCIS" (played by Louise Lombard), working with the Office of Special Projects, and reveals that she had dropped the Hernandez case against Gibbs. But Gibbs never knew why, which viewers discover in "Origins": Dominguez bailed him out. Gibbs meets his future wife, Diane Packing up his family photos in his house, future love steps in. Gibbs meets his red-headed real estate agent, Diane (Kathleen Kenny). On "NCIS," Gibbs' second wife (there were four, with three divorces and one death) was red-haired Diane Sterling (Melinda McGraw). "Gina and I knew, from our first conversation, we wanted to tell the love story of Gibbs and this character Lala," North says. "We sat there on the phone, and were like, 'He's got to get married three other times.' So here we are, sticking to canon." Does Lala die on 'NCIS: Origins'? Tragedy plays a hand as Dominguez speeds over to Gibbs' house to tell him about her success with Macy. With Simon and Garfunkel's "Cecilia" playing on the stereo, she flips her Jeep trying to avoid a young girl who runs into the street. The final moments show a motionless Dominguez, blood coming from her nose, restrained by her seat belt in the overturned car. Harmon's somber voiceover says Dominguez was "coming to tell me she had saved me. I would only find out later what she did for me. But that's not what made me love her. I loved her all along. I still do.' Whether Dominguez survives is the biggest finale cliffhanger. "We'll have to wait until Season 2 to find the fate of Lala," says North. "We've gone into her story and why it's the story of Lala. That story will continue to be told. But she's already saved Gibbs. The Gibbs we come to know on 'NCIS' wouldn't have ever existed without Lala."
