Starz is gearing up to expand its enduring crime drama franchise with a brand-new installment. The network has unveiled plans for Origins, a prequel series that will delve into the early lives of the beloved characters Ghost and Tommy from the popular show Power.
Origins would mark the fourth spinoff in the Power universe. This announcement follows the success of Power Book II: Ghost, which premiered in 2020 and is set for its fourth season, alongside Power Book III: Raising Kanan, currently filming its fourth season, and Power Book IV: Force, now in production for its third season.
Kathryn Busby, President of Programming for Starz, expressed her enthusiasm for the deep connection fans have developed with the Power universe over the years as the franchise approaches its milestone 10th anniversary. She eagerly anticipates how Origins will continue to captivate audiences with its fresh and expansive storytelling.
Sascha Penn, the showrunner behind Raising Kanan, is slated to serve as an executive producer for Origins. Overseeing the broader Power universe are executive producers Courtney A. Kemp, Curtis 50 Cent Jackson, and Mark Canton.
Given the rich array of stories within the Power franchise, are you intrigued by the prospect of exploring the formative years of Ghost and Tommy? Additionally, do you have any casting preferences for these iconic roles?
