Power’ Spinoff With Joseph Sikora Moves Up
“Power” fans eagerly awaiting the continuing adventures of Tommy Egan just caught a break. Variety has learned that the Starz spinoff series built around the character will no longer be the last “Power” spinoff to debut.
When Starz originally ordered the four “Power” spinoffs earlier this year, the Tommy spinoff was slated to debut last and was titled “Power Book V: Force.” Instead, it has been redubbed “Power Book IV: Force,” meaning it will debut after the prequel series “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” which is set to resume production soon for a 2021 debut. “Influence,” the prequel starring Larenz Tate as Rashad Ford, will now be “Power Book V: Influence.”
“‘Power’ has been one of the most successful series in premium pay television during its six-year run, garnering more than 10 million multiplatform views in its last two seasons and we can’t wait to take fans in a whole new direction as we pick-up Tommy’s story with ‘Power Book IV: Force,’” said Starz’ president of programming Christina Davis.
