Starz Greenlights Power: Legacy Reuniting Tommy and Tariq

The eight-episode order signals Starz’s push to own more of the franchise through a Lionsgate co‑production that builds on recent high viewership.

Overview

  • Starz announced the series order on Thursday, June 4, confirming an eight-episode first season of Power: Legacy following the Power Book IV: Force finale.
  • Joseph Sikora and Michael Rainey Jr. will reprise their roles as Tommy Egan and Tariq St. Patrick and are credited as executive producer and producer respectively.
  • Gary Lennon will serve as showrunner and executive producer based on a pilot he co-wrote with Kendra Chapman Davis.
  • Power: Legacy is a co-production between Starz and Lionsgate Television, a shift from prior licensed spinoffs that gives Starz greater ownership and access to downstream revenue.
  • Starz cites strong franchise numbers — including a 9 million multiplatform audience for Force’s Season 3 premiere and over 2 billion hours viewed across the library — but no premiere date or production start has been announced and further casting details remain pending.
