AceShowbiz - Starz is expanding its popular Power universe with a new spin-off series titled Power: Legacy, officially announced on June 4, 2026. This addition to the franchise will focus on the characters Tariq St. Patrick and Tommy Egan as they reunite in New York City to forge a new chapter in their story.

The new series is set to follow the aftermath of Power Book IV: Force, where the two fan-favorite characters previously made their mark. Michael Rainey Jr. will reprise his role as Tariq, while Joseph Sikora returns as Tommy. Both actors have been integral to multiple series within the Power franchise, and their reunion marks a significant event for fans eager to see these characters team up once again.

Power: Legacy will premiere with an initial season comprising eight episodes. Gary Lennon, a veteran executive producer and showrunner who has been deeply involved in the franchise’s development, will lead the series as both showrunner and executive producer. Lennon co-wrote the pilot episode alongside Kendra Chapman Davis, who previously contributed to Power Book IV: Force.

This spin-off represents the fifth installment following the original Power. The franchise has expanded considerably since its inception, with each series exploring different timelines and perspectives. Power Book II: Ghost chronicled Tariq’s ascent as a drug kingpin in New York, while Power Book III: Raising Kanan served as a prequel featuring a young Kanan Stark, portrayed by Mekai Curtis. The recently concluded Power Book IV: Force examined Tommy Egan’s struggle to dominate Chicago’s drug trade.

The conclusion of Power Book IV: Force set the stage for Power: Legacy. In its final scene, Tommy and Tariq discussed their future plans, with Tariq inviting Tommy to join him in New York to start “something new.” Though Tommy’s response was nonverbal, his smile suggested strong interest, hinting at the direction the new series will take.

Joseph Sikora has expressed enthusiasm about continuing his portrayal of Tommy Egan, emphasizing the unique creative synergy between himself and Gary Lennon that shapes the character’s depth. Lennon, in turn, has indicated that there remains a wealth of untold stories for Tommy, suggesting that Power: Legacy will explore these further.

The franchise’s executive producer and star Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson highlighted the significance of bringing Tariq and Tommy back together, describing the new series as the franchise’s biggest chapter yet. The reunion of these characters is anticipated to energize the fan base and solidify their iconic status within the Power universe.

Starz’s president of original programming, Kathryn Busby, noted that Power continues to evolve alongside its audience, maintaining cultural relevance for over a decade. She expressed excitement about uniting the talents of Sikora and Rainey Jr. to deliver fresh, boundary-pushing storytelling that honors the franchise’s legacy.

Production credits for Power: Legacy include Courtney A. Kemp, Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, and Mark Canton as producers through their respective companies. Additional executive producers on the series are Kendra Chapman Davis, Joseph Sikora, and Chris Sekalk, with Michael Rainey Jr. also credited as a producer.

This announcement follows Starz’s July 2025 order of the prequel series Power: Origins, which explores the early lives of Ghost and Tommy as ambitious entrepreneurs in New York. That series promises to showcase a vibrant new era within the franchise, highlighting the rise of these characters in a different time frame.

With Power: Legacy set to continue the saga of Tariq and Tommy, viewers are eagerly anticipating how their partnership will unfold in the city that never sleeps. The series promises to blend the franchise’s signature intensity with fresh narratives, deepening the legacy of the Power universe.

Fans are encouraged to share their excitement and thoughts about the upcoming reunion of these characters as Power: Legacy prepares to take over screens in the near future.
