Ghost and Tommy make their highly anticipated return to late night television with Power: Origins a prequel to the original Power series. STARZ recently announced the series’ fourth spinoff is in the early stages of development.
The Power universe has been all gas no breaks since the original series ended in 2020. With both ‘Raising Kanan’ and ‘Power Book IV: Force’ filming their new seasons and ‘Power Book II: Ghost’ gearing up for its highly-anticipated series finale, it seems as if things won’t be dying down anytime soon.
Origins will center around the origin stories of James “Ghost” St. Patrick and his partner-in-crime, Tommy Egan. Both of whom were brought to life by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora in the original ‘Power’ series.
“As we approach the 10-year anniversary of Power it is incredible to witness the enormous connection our fans have with the Power universe. We can’t wait to see how ‘Origins’ will further evolve this dynamic franchise while bringing fresh, gripping, and expansive storytelling to our audience.”
Shortly after the official announcement, 50 Cent who portrayed Kanan Stark in the original series, took to Twitter/X to deliver to fans this exciting news.

Kanan Stark is a fan-favorite of the series and his origin story can be seen in ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
The cast of ‘Origins’ has yet to be announced, but fans are enthusiastically requesting that Hardwick and Sikora reprise their roles as narrators. Similar to what 50 Cent does on ‘Raising Kanan’.
The series will be executive produced by original Power creator and showrunner, Courtney A. Kemp, through her production company End of Episode, as well as Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson through G-Unit Film and Television and Mark Canton through Canton Entertainment.
