AceShowbiz - The characters Tommy Egan and Tariq St. Patrick are reuniting in a new Starz series titled Power: Legacy, AllHipHop reports. This latest installment will follow the duo as they join forces to assert control over New York City.

Joseph Sikora and Michael Rainey Jr. will reprise their roles as Tommy and Tariq, respectively, Southernillinoisnow confirms, while Variety adds that the first season of Power: Legacy will consist of eight episodes. The storyline continues after the conclusion of Power Book IV: Force, with Tariq arriving in Chicago to enlist Tommy’s help before convincing him to return to New York to handle business together. The characters, who were separated at the end of the original Power series, previously reunited in the finale of Power Book IV: Force.

50 Cent, the Queens-born rapper and executive producer known for his iconic album Get Rich or Die Tryin', is heavily involved in the franchise. He has described this series as the largest chapter in the Power universe so far, highlighting fans’ excitement to see Tommy and Tariq reunited on screen. The franchise itself has amassed over 2 billion hours of global viewing time and has expanded into multiple spinoffs, including Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Power Book IV: Force, and the upcoming Power: Origins.

The significance of Power: Legacy lies in bringing together two lead characters from different spinoffs, creating a fresh dynamic that promises to elevate the franchise’s scope. This collaboration between Starz and Lionsgate Television marks a new milestone, as Lionsgate joins production directly for the first time rather than simply licensing the series. With Curtis 50 Cent Jackson and creator Courtney A. Kemp returning as executive producers, fans can expect the series to maintain the high stakes and gripping narratives that have defined the Power saga.
