"Power" has scored an early renewal from Starz, just days after its second season debuted on June 6. The hit drama starring and executive produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is picked up for a 10-episode third season by the network.
"I am thrilled to learn that season three of 'Power' has been officially ordered by Starz. It is an honor to work with Chris Albrecht, Carmi Zlotnik, Ken Segna and the whole Starz team," says series creator and executive producer Courtney Kemp Agboh. "Their support has been steadfast from the beginning, and I look forward to a bright future together."
50 Cent adds, " 'Power' is a project I have been passionate about since day one. I am glad the audience loves the show as much as we do, and we are just getting started."
The renewal comes several days after the second season premiere broke the record as the most-watched Starz original series season debut in the channel's history with 1.43 million viewers. The record was previously held by the premiere of "Spartacus: Vengeance" with 1.39 million viewers on January 27, 2013.
Production on the third season of "Power" is scheduled to begin in September in New York.
