STARZ announced today the development of a new Power prequel series, Origins. This series will continue to explore the Power universe in a fresh way, delving into the origin story of fan-favorite characters Ghost and Tommy.
This would mark the fourth spinoff of the hugely popular Power series, preceded by Power Book II: Ghost, which will debut its fourth season in 2024, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, which is currently filming its fourth season in New York, and Power Book IV: Force, which is currently filming its third season in Chicago.
“As we approach the 10-year anniversary of Power, it is incredible to witness the enormous connection our fans have with the Power universe,” said Kathryn Busby, President of Programming for STARZ.
“We can’t wait to see how ‘Origins’ will further evolve this dynamic franchise while bringing fresh, gripping, and expansive storytelling to our audience.”
Sascha Penn is the executive producer for Origins. The Power Universe series is executive produced by the creator and showrunner of the original Power, Courtney A. Kemp through her production company End of Episode, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson through G-Unit Film and Television, and Mark Canton through Canton Entertainment.
Lionsgate Television will produce Origins for STARZ.
