Starz is bringing Power to an end. The upcoming season 6 will be the series’ last but the Power universe will live on with several spinoffs already in development.
Season 6 will premiere on August 25 and will run for 15 episodes, up 50% from its episode order for season 5. Whispers of the spinoffs have been going on for quite some time and heated up when creator Courtney Kemp inked a rich new overall deal with Starz’ parent company Lionsgate.
“We will follow some of your beloved Power characters beyond the scope of the initial series,” proclaimed EP Kemp today of the next phases in the world she fashioned. “But we will play with your expectations of which characters, where, and the master timeline of it all, creating a Power universe as unpredictable as the original.”
There are no significant details of which characters will get their own spinoff series but a writers’ room has already been formed for at least one of the spinoffs. Executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson also confirmed the news of the final season and the upcoming spinoffs on his Instagram page:
“Season 6 brings us to the end of what we know is just the first chapter of the Power story,” “Starz programming boss Carmi Zlotnik said Thursday of the cabler’s clear crown jewel. “However, as one chapter comes to an end, another will begin. Courtney Kemp and 50 Cent have created a world rich with complex and dynamic characters and there are a number of stories we plan to tell as we continue to explore and expand the Power universe.”
