Sikora’s Sterling, Jax Stewart’s (Emayatzy Corinealdi) coworker, launched a career in law later on in life following a 10-year tenure as a Coast Guard. But now, he’s looking to lock in the partner spot at Jax’s law firm Binder, Hurwitz & Stewart, where his “proximity to Jax becomes imperative to his success.

“Reasonable Doubt” has cast Joseph Sikora as a series regular for its upcoming third season, Variety has learned.

Sikora will appear in Season 3 of the Onyx Collective series as Bill Sterling. The character is described as “Jax’s (Emayatzy Corinealdi) coworker at her firm Binder, Hurwitz & Stewart. Bill started his law career later in life after serving as a Coast Guard for ten years. As he is looking to make partner, his proximity to Jax becomes imperative to his success.”

Along with Corinealdi and Sikora, series regulars for Season 3 include McKinley Freeman, Tim Jo and Angela Grovey.

Sikora is best known for his role as Tommy Egan in the hit Starz crime drama “Power,” on which he starred throughout its six-season run. He then led the spinoff series “Power Book IV: Force,” which is ending with its upcoming third season. Sikora’s other TV roles include stints on “Ozark,” Season 1 of “True Detective,...

Jason Stathamis a safe pair of fast hands when it comes to delivering the action, and audiences have been rediscovering one of his most underrated movies thanks to free streaming. Best known for the likes of the Fast and Furious franchise, The Expendables, The Mechanic, and The Beekeeper (which is now getting a sequel), many Statham fans slept on the 2012 outing Safe. Thankfully, that’s all changed, with the movie now entering the streaming charts.

Directed by Boaz Yakin, who is best known for helming Remember the Titans and writing the likes of Now You See Me and The Harder They Fall, Safe finds The Stath fighting one of his hardest battles as he faces off with the Russian mafia, the Chinese Triads, and a group of corrupt NYPD officers all at once. Safe is now ranked #8 on Freevee in the U.S., and you can check out the official...

It is several months since one of Jason Statham's most underrated action movies landed on free streaming, and now it is heading back up the Tubi chart yet again. Statham’s brand of loud, brash, and brutal action movie has found a perfect home on free streaming charts with movies like The Mechanic, Parker, and many others appearing time and time again. Now it is the turn of 2012 movie Safe to kick its way into the Tubi Top 10.

Statham has stuck his battered and bruised fingers in many pies in the last decade, from franchises like The Expendables and Fast & Furious, to his own vehicles such as The Beekeeper and his upcoming A Working Man. While audiences usually cannot get enough of the British actor, critics have always been a little more skeptical about the films he leads. Safe is one of the rare occasions that audiences and...

With every year comes difficult decisions for networks and streamers alike to either hold on to their series or let them go.

2025 is expected to see several beloved series coming to an end, including “Bel-Air,” “Billy the Kid” and “Power Book IV: Force,” among others. Netflix’s “The Upshaws” and “Heartbreak High” similarly have ends in sight, though it’s unknown exactly when that might be. Some of Netflix’s biggest and longest running shows are also coming to a close this year, including “Stranger Things,” “Squid Game” and “Big Mouth.”

For the full list of all of the TV shows that have been renewed, canceled or are expected to end in 2o25, see below. This list will be updated with renewals and cancellations as the year goes on.

Exclusive: Independent Artist Group has signed Naturi Naughton, the actress, singer, and producer best known for starring in Starz’s Power franchise, for representation.

At Iag, Naughton joins a roster already including many other top stars of the Power universe, including 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, Michael Rainey Jr., Joseph Sikora, and Mekai Curtis. In Starz’s hit crime dramas Power and Power Book II: Ghost, the actress plays Tasha, the wife of nightclub owner and drug kingpin James ‘Ghost’ St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), who as a savvy and resourceful individual, is heavily involved in her husband’s drug empire. Her work in the franchise brought her two NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series, among other accolades. While Power wrapped years ago, sequel/spin-off series Power Book II: Ghost just concluded its four-season run in October.

In television, Naughton’s other notable credits include Mad Men,...

Joe Proctor was a major character on the Starz crime drama series, Power, and his death came as a shock to viewers and his actor, Jerry Ferrara, has long had thoughts about his character's exit from the show. Power is filled with an ensemble cast of characters who are all vying for one form or another of what the title of the show professes. Whether it's by striving for their own glory or riding the coat tails of powerful figures like Ghost (Omari Hardwick) or Tommy (Joseph Sikora), everyone wants a piece of the power pie.

One of the best of these characters in Power is Joe Proctor, the talented and striving defense attorney for Ghost who also served as a pseudo-consigliere. Proctor first appeared in season 2, episode 8, "Three Moves Ahead", and quickly moved into the main cast in season 3. By seasons 4 and 5, Proctor was practically one of the main...

[This story contains spoilers from the Power Book II: Ghost series finale.]

On the very first episode of Power created by Courtney Kemp and executive produced by rapper-turned-tv mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson back in June 2014, there was no way of knowing that the kid in the nice penthouse apartment asking his mother Tasha (Naturi Naughton) if his father James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), who spoke fluent Spanish, could “hook up” his Spanish homework as she served breakfast was on his way to becoming a drug kingpin. At that point, the young Tariq didn’t even know his father was himself a kingpin known on the streets as Ghost (Hardwick). And that his mother also knew. Michael Rainey Jr. was just a few months from turning 14. Now a decade later, just over a week after turning 24, he’s closed out another series.

When Power Book II: Ghost premiered Sept. 6, 2020, the pandemic had put the whole country and world on a life-turning timeout.

The popular spinoff series Power Book IV: Forcehas been renewed for a third season, but the hit Starz series will also be ending. Coming as the third spinoff of the show Power which debuted in 2014, Power Book IV: Force arrived in 2022 and follows familiar character Tommy Egan as he moves from New York to Chicago in an attempt to usurp the city's gangs and become the most powerful drug kingpin. Breaking the usual formula from the other shows in the franchise, Force is nevertheless just as well-regarded by critics.

Like the rest of the shows in the Power series, Power Book IV: Force...

After six acclaimed seasons, Power came to an end in 2020 by resolving its season-long whodunit premise. Created by Courtney A. Kemp in collaboration with Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Power is a crime drama that centers on James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), the smart, smooth-talking drug dealer-turned-nightclub-owner who isn't afraid to be a little ruthless. Known by the alias "Ghost," James struggles to balance his business endeavors with the needs of his family. Ghost's wife, Tasha (Naturi Naughton), and their three kids namely Tariq (Michael Rainey Jr.) don't always have the best relationships with James, as the finale proves.

Power's cast of characters is rounded out by Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora), Ghost's best friend, and Angela Valdes (Lela Loren), James' enduring love interest. All of these principal characters and a few others, like 50 Cent's Kanan come into play in the 15-episode final season of Power. At the beginning of the sixth outing,...

Spoiler Alert: The following reveals major plot points from the series finale of Starz’s Power Book II: Ghost.

After four short seasons, Starz’s Power Book II: Ghost is officially over following tonight’s series finale titled “Ghost in the Machine.” This won’t be a recap of the episode as we will be breaking all that down tomorrow with two of the show’s biggest stars, but rather it’s to discuss Tariq St. Patrick’s (Michael Rainey Jr.) Marvel moment, if you will, at the end of the episode following the credits.

Baby Ghost, as Tariq is often referred to, lives to see another day and with that, there was a tease that more Power is ahead. That says to me they can continue telling stories through Tariq in a new show set in present day. Add to that the upcoming series finale of Power Book IV: Force,...

The Power universe is set to introduce its fourth spinoff following the main show, and while I'm happy Tommy and Ghost will share the spotlight, it's not the reunion I wanted. After an impressive six seasons, Power wrapped up its main story, and despite not everyone being a fan of the conclusion, the franchise continued its narrative through multiple spinoffs. Kanan was given a prequel series due to the character's popularity, while both Tariq and Tommy starred in their own shows; however, both Power Book: Ghost and Force are ending to make way for a new series, Power: Origins.

Origins will focus on Tommy and Ghost's lives before the events of the original series, meaning the franchise's two most popular characters will once again be the focal point of the franchise. It's a bit of a gamble canceling two popular shows to make way for a new one, but I'm...

Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson is laughing off claims that his massive Power franchise was ripped off from a former drug kingpin’s life story.

After New York District Judge Hon. Analisa Torres dismissed Cory ‘Ghost’ Holland’s lawsuit against the Grammy Award winner, Jackson shared the news on Instagram with a response referencing the Starz series’ main character James ‘Ghost’ St. Patrick.

“Fool thought he was Ghost,” wrote Jackson on Instagram. “Da fvck wrong wit these [ninja emoji]s man Lol”

His post comes after AllHipHop reported that Judge Torres found the Ghost character did not directly refer to Holland, as a defamation claim requires. Holland first filed the complaint against Jackson, show creator Courtney Kemp, Starz and Lionsgate in 2021, alleging that Kemp ripped off his 2007 autobiographical CD Blasphemy.

The judge also threw out a $300 million lawsuit against Lionsgate, as well as a complaint that Jackson showed up in his neighborhood with a...

When you think about the Power Universe and its vast and varied characters, the ones who come to mind first are usually the big players.

Ghost. Tommy. Kanan. Tariq.

A series of men known by one name alone who shaped this Universe and made it into what it is today.

But for every big player, there's someone else beside them, a sidekick, if you will. Or better yet, a partner. Someone who helped them succeed and, for some, caused their eventual downfall.

There are many duos across the original Power and the three spinoffs currently airing, and we decided to look at some of the very best.

The Power universe has expanded with several successful spinoffs, including Raising Kanan. Raising Kanan proves that prequels set in the Power universe work well by deepening existing characters and building out the world. The Ghost and Tommy prequel, Power Book V: Origins, could be even better than Raising Kanan because it centers on two of the franchise's most compelling characters.

Although the original Power aired its finale in 2020, I'm excited to return to the crime drama's world from yet another angle in an upcoming Ghost and Tommy prequel and another Power "Book" show reaffirms my optimistic outlook. Created and produced by Courtney A. Kemp, in collaboration with Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Power landed on Starz back in 2014 and, ultimately, ran for six successful seasons. While Power's cast of characters expanded as the series continued, the show mainly focused on James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), a ruthless dealer who goes by the alias Ghost.

Ruth Langmore's abundance of witty and on-target quotes sets her apart as one of the most memorable characters in Ozark. Julia Garner's delivery of Ruth's iconic lines helped her win three Emmys and made Ozark one of the most-watched shows on Netflix. Ruth's love-hate relationship with Marty Byrde and her journey throughout the show contribute to her transformation into one of the best characters on Ozark.

Power Book IV: Force's cancellation is part of the Starz cost-cutting effort, hinting at concerns about the franchise's future. Power Book IV: Force's cancellation is reminiscent of Starz ending Hightown after season 3. Despite the cancellation, there's still hope for closure with Power Book IV: Force season 3.

The untimely cancellation of Power Book IV: Force reminds me of the demise of another underrated Starz drama. Given the success of the Power franchise overall, I'm shocked such a well-watched show is ending. However, the decision to end Power Book IV: Force is part of a cost-cutting effort across Starz. With fellow spinoff Power Book II: Ghost season 4 also serving as the end of a franchise chapter, I'm concerned about what this means for the Power brand.

Given that the original Power universe kicked off almost a decade ago, I knew it was inevitable there would be a point at which some unpleasant...

The third season of Power Book IV: Force is currently being filmed in Chicago, and it's been revealed that there won't be a season four. While this spin-off is coming to a close, it won't be the end of Tommy Egan's story. He is the only character to appear in three of the four shows in the Power franchise.

The upcoming third season of “Power Book IV: Force” will be its last, according to star Joseph Sikora. But the actor, who leads the show as Tommy Egan, also seems to be teasing that a new project could come to the “Power” universe soon.

With “Power Book II: Ghost” having just entered its fourth and final season, the only current “Power” series continuing at Starz is “Book III: Raising Kanan,” which was renewed for a fifth season in March. (The original “Power” concluded in 2020.) However, a new prequel series titled “Origins” was also set up at the cabler in March following the announcement that “Force” showrunner Gary Lennon had extended his deal with Lionsgate Television to continue working on the franchise.

In a video posted across Starz, ‘Power’ and Sikora’s Instagram pages, Sikora said, “When Gary Lennon and the other writers and I were mapping out our third season,...

Starz is Power-ing down a bit, ending another installment in the long-running crime drama franchise. The upcoming third season of Power Book IV: Force will be its last, TVLine has confirmed.

There is some good news, however — showrunner and executive producer Gary Lennon was given enough notice to craft a proper ending, so while fans may not want the show to end, at least they can take solace in knowing it won’t conclude on a cliffhanger.

Starz’s Power Book IV: Force will conclude following the drama’s third season which is currently in production in Chicago. It’s lights out for Tommy (Joseph Sikora) and the gang but that doesn’t mean their stories are over.

As Deadline reported in March, Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch revealed plans to contain content costs by developing more new shows versus sustaining series longer as they become more expensive. The plan was implemented immediately as Starz announced the next day the development of a new prequel series Origin, following the Ghost (Omari Hardwick in the flagship series) and Tommy during their early years. The new show is similar to Power Book III: Raising Kanan, which centers on Power’s favorite foe, Kanan Stark (played by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson) during his younger years.

Lionsgate Television has signed Gary Goodman to a new multi-year deal to continue as EVP of Worldwide Production, heading up production of the studio’s slate of premium scripted series as well as its East Coast television production facilities in Yonkers, NY, Atlanta, Georgia and opening soon in Newark, New Jersey.

Goodman is a 17-year Lionsgate veteran, serving as head of TV production on shows including AMC’s Mad Men, Netflix’s Orange is the New Black, Weeds and Nurse Jackie for Showtime, ABC/CMT’s Nashville and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist for NBC, to name a few. Current projects include: Bmf, P-Valley and The Serpent Queen for Starz, Mythic Quest, Acapulco and Manhunt for Apple TV+ and the recent John Wick prequel The Continental for Peacock and Amazon Prime.

Power fans, rejoice! Power Book III: Raising Kanan is coming back for a fifth season.

Starz has given the prequel series an early renewal following its February Season 3 finale. Season 4 is currently in production in New York. The news arrives shortly after the announcement the network’s focus has shifted to creating new spinoffs versus current seasons running too long to save costs and the news that Power Book II: Ghost will be ending after four seasons.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan explores the early life of everyone’s favorite villain Kanan Stark, originally played by 50 Cent in the flagship series and shows his evolution from naive teenager to cutthroat villain. Season 3 saw an epic showdown between Kanan (Mekai Curtis) and Raq (Patina Miller), resulting in a couple of surprise deaths and the return of a fan-favorite character. The series stars MeKai Curtis in the titular role of “Kanan,...

When Power touched down on Starz 10 years ago, it was clear the premium cabler had found a big hit.

After a decade on the air, the main show is over, three spinoffs are on the air, and a fourth is on the way.

Power: Origins scored a formal pickup this week, and the concept is sure to get fans talking.

The series delves into the earlier years of Ghost and Tommy, played by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora in the original series.

Hardwick’s journey as Ghost concluded in 2020 with the end of the original series, while Sikora continues to play Tommy in the sequel series Power Book IV: Force.

It’s unclear at this stage whether Hardwick and Sikora are involved in the prequel in any capacity, but we would certainly enjoy their narration if the story allows for it.

The end is in sight for Power Book II: Ghost.

A day after unveiling plans for a prequel series tracing the origins of Ghost and Tommy (Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora), Starz revealed that the second series in the Power franchise will come to a conclusion with its upcoming fourth season.

The final season will be split into two parts, with the first arriving Friday, June 7, followed by the second half starting Friday, Sept. 6. The show’s June debut is tied to the 10th anniversary of the debut of the flagship series in the Power franchise.

“This explosive season of Ghost is a fitting crescendo in a decade of an immensely popular franchise — fans will not be disappointed,” said Kathryn Busby, president of programming at Starz. “While this marks the conclusion of one chapter, our commitment to the Power universe endures with more compelling storytelling on the horizon.

Fans of the Power franchise are losing Ghost again — but this time, it’s the series.

Starz has canceled Power Book II: Ghost, with the show’s fourth season to serve as its last. It will be broken into two parts, premiering June 7 and September 6. Watch the teaser above.

The move was prefaced by Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch this week when he revealed plans to contain content costs by developing more new shows versus sustaining series longer as they become more expensive.

A fourth Power spinoff series, tentatively titled Origins, is now in development!

It’s been nearly ten years since the Starz show first premiered, followed by three spinoffs, Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Power Book IV: Force.

Now, another origin story is in the works and it will center on two fan-favorite characters from the flagship series.

“As we approach the 10-year anniversary of Power it is incredible to witness the enormous connection our fans have with the Power universe,” Kathryn Busby, President of Programming for Starz, shared in a statement. “We can’t wait to see how Origins will further evolve this dynamic franchise while bringing fresh, gripping, and expansive storytelling to our audience.”

The new series is set to dive into the origin stories of Ghost and Tommy, played by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora in the original series.

Starz continues to Power up its decade-old crime drama franchise.

The cabler announced on Wednesday that it is developing Origins, a prequel series that promises to “explore the ‘Power’ universe in a fresh way” as it delves into the backstory of fan-favorite characters Ghost and Tommy (originally played by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora).

The Power universe keeps expanding as Deadline reveals that a new spinoff called Power: Origins is in the works at Starz. As the title suggests, the new spin-off will trace the origins of two of Power's most popular characters, Ghost (Omari Hardwick) and Tommy (Joseph Sikora). The new show will follow a Young Ghost and Tommy, setting up their meeting and eventual development into the characters from the original shows. The show is akin to what the universe is doing with another character from the show, Kanan Stark in Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

Starz is eyeing a further expansion of its Power franchise — this one a prequel featuring two of the key characters in the original series.

The premium cable outlet is developing a drama titled Origins, which would follow younger versions of Ghost and Tommy, characters played by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora in Power (Sikora also stars in the spinoff Power Book IV: Force). The project would be the fourth spinoff of Power, which premiered in 2014, following Book II: Ghost, Book III: Raising Kanan and Force.

“As we approach the 10-year anniversary of Power it is incredible to witness the enormous connection our fans have with the Power universe,” said Kathryn Busby, president of programming at Starz. “We can’t wait to see how Origins will further evolve this dynamic franchise while bringing fresh, gripping, and expansive storytelling to our audience.”

Ghost and Tommy are getting their own “Power” origins story. As Starz continues to span the “Power” universe into multiple series, the network is ready to announce the official fourth spinoff. The network confirmed Wednesday that it is developing the “Power” prequel series “Origins,” which will follow the beginning story of characters Ghost and Tommy, played in the original “Power” by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora.

Sascha Penn (“Power Book III: Raising Kanan”) will serve as the executive producer for “Origins,” which comes from Lionsgate TV. (It’s unclear whether it will actually be called “Power Book V: Origins.”)

The first “Power,” which debuted in 2014, starred Hardwick as James St. Patrick, a nightlife entrepreneur who is also a massively successful cocaine distributor known on the streets as “Ghost.” He rules that empore alongside his childhood friend Tommy, played by Sikora.

Starz is expanding the Power Universe again with a prequel spinoff series that will reunite Ghost and Tommy.

In the vein of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, which follows the youthful years of everyone’s favorite foe, Kanan Stark (played by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson), the new series Origin will follow the early years of the beloved duo of Ghost and Tommy’s (played by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora in the Og series).

Fans of Raising Kanan have been asking for seasons when Ghost and Tommy would run into Kanan since the teens met in high school, yet those characters had never been cast. But as Tommy reappeared after Power in Power Book II: Ghost before spinning off into his series Power Book IV: Force, it would make sense if Ghost and Tommy appeared in Raising Kanan before Origins. And to add one more piece of pure speculation on my end,...

Peabody Award-winning producer, showrunner and writer Gary Lennon has signed a new deal with Lionsgate extending their partnership.

Under the deal, he will continue to work with Lionsgate Television and Starz on development opportunities to expand the Power Universe. Lennon has served as showrunner and executive producer for Season 2 of the Power spinoff series Power Book IV: Force and will return for the third installment of the Chicago-based crime drama currently in production.

Lennon served as executive producer of the mothership Power series for Starz which spawned three spinoffs including Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Power Book IV: Force. Force follows Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora), a main character from the Og series. It also stars Isaac Keys, Lili Simmons, Shane Harper and Anthony Fleming, to name a few.

Additionally, he’s partnered with Lionsgate Television on P-Valley and Hightown for Starz, as well as the...

Created by Robert Munic, Power Book IV: Force is the third TV spin-off in the Power universe. Set after the events depicted in the acclaimed Starz original crime drama, the story concerns Tommy Egan, the best friend and business partner of series one protagonist, James St. Patrick, aka Ghost (Omari Hardwick). As James attempts to overcome his drug conviction and distance himself from his past, he is forced to relocate from New York to Chicago and attempts to establish himself in a new city.

With Power Book IV: Force Season 2 wrapping in November 2023 and Starz recently renewing Season 3 for an anticipated 2025 release, now is an ideal time to get familiar with the cast of characters in the acclaimed crime drama. While some well-known characters from the Power universe crossover in the spin-off, Book IV also boasts a new crop of characters that fans of the series will meet for the first time.

Get ready for more Power Book IV: Force. Season three of the Starz crime drama series has begun filming in Chicago. The cable network renewed the series in December 2023, only weeks after the 10-episode second season had finished airing in November.

Starring Joseph Sikora, Isaac Keys, Lili Simmons, Shane Harper, Kris D. Lofton, Carmela Zumbado, Manuel Eduardo Ramirez, Miriam A. Hyman, Adrienne Walker, Anthony Fleming III, Lucien Cambric, and Tommy Flanagan, the series follows Tommy Egan (Sikora) after he leaves NYC and lands in Chicago.

In addition, the cable network has revealed that filming has also begun on season four of Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

That location is the Strawberry Lodge and Rom is bringing his girlfriend Bianca on the trip with plans to propose to her. He’s also invited his agent, Michael and some friends including Serena, Lou, Benny, Kim and married couple Russ and Meg to join them.
