Starz has ordered Power: Legacy to series, bringing Joseph Sikora back as Tommy Egan and Michael Rainey Jr. back as Tariq St. Patrick in the next chapter of the franchise. The show is set in the present timeline and picks up after the events of the Power Book IV: Force finale, where Tommy and Tariq reunited and saved the day.
The new series puts the pair back at the center of a story that has already proved durable for Starz. Sikora and Rainey first played these characters more than a decade ago in the original Power, and the network is now extending that run with a co-production alongside Lionsgate Television. Starz said the Power universe has piled up more than 2 billion hours viewed globally across its series, while Power Book IV: Force delivered record-setting in-season growth of 57% in its third and final season and drew 9 million multiplatform viewers to its Season 3 premiere to date.
That performance explains why the franchise is being pushed forward now. Power Book II: Ghost and Power Book IV: Force have already become successful spin-offs, and Power Book III: Raising Kanan is due to return with its fifth and final season on June 12. Starz is treating Power: Legacy as the next move in a property that still has momentum and still has a wide audience watching where Tommy and Tariq land next.
The new chapter also leaves one important thread hanging. Tommy’s pregnant girlfriend, Mireya, fled Chicago for safety, but it was not revealed where she went, and that uncertainty hangs over a series that will send Tommy back to New York to partner with Tariq and try to take the city by storm. Gary Lennon will showrun and executive produce, with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson also on board as an executive producer, and the next question is whether the story can keep its focus on the two men at the center while keeping the rest of the world of Power in play.
For now, the answer is straightforward: Starz is not just reviving a familiar name, it is betting that Tommy and Tariq together can still carry the franchise where it has always been strongest — in the collision between loyalty, ambition and the city itself.
