The Power universe keeps expanding. Starz has announced Power: Legacy, a brand new crossover series that will reunite fan favorites Tommy Egan and Tariq St. Patrick in New York City. The new drama is the next chapter in the franchise, combining storylines from Power Book II: Ghost and Power Book IV: Force, and setting the table for a new era of power struggles, alliances and betrayals.
Fans have been wondering about a potential reunion between Tommy and Tariq since their respective series ended years ago. Starz is now turning that possibility into reality with a project that promises to reunite two of the franchise’s most recognizable characters.# Tommy and Tariq Team Up for New Chapter
Power: Legacy is set immediately after the events of Power Book IV: Force. Back in his hometown of New York City, Tommy Egan, after making a name for himself in Chicago. Rather than leaving the life of crime behind, he finds himself in partnership with Tariq St. Patrick, the son of his old best friend James “Ghost” St. Patrick.
The pairing creates one of the most interesting dynamics in the franchise. Tommy’s street smarts, experience and unpredictability are the antithesis of Tariq’s ambition and calculated approach. The series is expected to focus primarily on their relationship as they navigate the ever-changing criminal landscape of New York.# First Season Confirmed, Eight Episodes
Starz has ordered an eight-episode first season, promising a tight, fast-paced story. The shorter episode count could allow the series to tell a tighter story while maintaining the high-stakes drama that has defined the Power brand.
The new series will be run by Gary Lennon, who served as a key creative force behind Power Book IV: Force, as showrunner and executive producer. Lennon also co-wrote the pilot episode with Kendra Chapman-Davis.
Power creator Courtney A. Kemp and executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson are still behind the scenes and are helping to provide continuity throughout the growing Power universe.# Behind the Scenes with Starz
One of the most remarkable things about Power: Legacy is the production model. It marks the first time Starz will be directly co-producing a Power series with Lionsgate Television, rather than simply relying on the traditional licensing arrangement that’s been used for prior installments.
The move reflects the network’s faith in the franchise, and the long-term value. The Power brand remains a global draw for audiences and Starz seems to be determined to grow and deepen its most successful TV universe.## Power Franchise Success
The Power franchise continues to hit impressive milestones, resulting in this announcement. The interconnected series has racked up more than 2 billion viewing hours globally, making it one of the network’s most valuable properties, according to Starz.
That success has opened the door for more projects, letting the franchise explore future storylines and historical origins while keeping audiences invested in familiar characters.# When is Power: Legacy Coming Out?
Production has not yet started, but early reports indicate Power: Legacy could debut sometime in early or mid-2027.
Until then, fans have enough to keep them busy. Power Book III: Raising Kanan season 5 and final season is arriving, and Power universe is growing with Power: Origins, a prequel about the characters’ lives before the events of Power.### Can Tommy and Tariq Be Friends?
The biggest question around Power: Legacy is if Tommy and Tariq can successfully coexist. Both characters are born leaders but have very different personalities and ways of doing business.
For years, Tariq has worked to build his own empire, trying to get out from his father’s shadow. Meanwhile, Tommy has never been one to take orders or share control. Their partnership may be one of the franchise’s greatest alliances — or its most volatile rivalry.
As Power: Legacy readies to bring back these two characters to New York fans can expect intense drama, shifting loyalties and the type of high-stakes storytelling that has kept the franchise thriving for years.
