The Power franchise seems to be ever expanding, with three spin-offs to the original show (also including Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Power Book IV: Force), and each of them receiving recommissions.
The first spin-off, Power Book II: Ghost, is set to return to screens later this year for its third season, and focuses on Michael Rainey Jr’s character, Tariq St Patrick.
The new season will see Courtney A Kemp step down as showrunner, replaced by Brett Mahoney, while we also have some new and recurring cast members joining the fold.
