Rainey and Sikora originated their roles in Power more than 10 years ago and went on to lead their own successful franchise spinoffs, with Power Book II: Ghost and Power Book IV: Force, respectively. Now, they will reunite as their stories converge in this new installment of Power. The new series sees the return of Tommy Egan to New York, where he partners with Tariq St. Patrick to take the city by storm.
Gary Lennon will serve as showrunner based on a pilot script co-written by Lennon and Kendra Chapman Davis. Both writers will executive produce with original series creator Courtney A. Kemp, Sikora, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Mark Canton and Chris Selak. Rainey will serve as a producer. Lionsgate Television, End of Episode, G-Unit Film & Television, and Canton Entertainment produce in association with Starz.
"The fans have spoken, and we listened," said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming, Starz. "Power doesn't die, it evolves with its audience, and for over a decade the Power Universe has remained at the forefront of culture. We're thrilled to reunite Joseph and Michael to deliver a new chapter that fuses the franchise's iconic legacy with bold, boundary-pushing storytelling."
"I'm thrilled to reunite with Starz to bring this latest chapter of the Power Universe to fans and especially proud to be entrusted with continuing Tommy and Tariq's story as showrunner on Power: Legacy," added Lennon. "It's going to be electrifying to see if these two men can share the city, the game and the intoxicating drug known as POWER."
