The "Power Universe" continues to expand. "Power: Origins," the newest installment to the hit crime series on Starz, is officially in development, the premium cable network announced on July 22. The show will be the fourth spinoff of the television franchise, executive produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. It follows the flagship series "Power," created by Courtney Kemp, which concluded in 2020. It starred actor Omari Hardwick as James "Ghost" St. Patrick − a drug dealer turned businessman trying to navigate his criminal enterprise while building a legitimate reputation in New York City. Other extensions, "Power Book II: Ghost," "Power Book III: Raising Kanan" and "Power Book IV: Force" came soon after. "Force" is centered around Ghost's right-hand man Tommy Egan, played by Joseph Sikora, who took off to Chicago for a new start.

Power Book IV: Force Season 3 – Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 19, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated July 19, 2025, 09:54 IST Man, Power Book IV: Force has fans buzzing! Tommy Egan's wild ride through Chicago's drug scene has kept us glued to our screens with its raw energy, crazy plot twists, and that classic Power vibe. After Season 2's jaw-dropping finale in November 2023, everyone's dying to know what's next. So, let's dive into the latest on Season 3's release date, cast changes, and what we can expect from Tommy's final chapter in the Windy City. Release Date Rumours for Power Book IV: Force Season 3 Starz gave the green light for Season 3 back in December 2023, but they're keeping the exact premiere date under wraps for now. Word is, filming started in February 2024 and wrapped up in July 2024. Joseph Sikora, our main man Tommy, hinted at a fall 2025 release, which lines up with the Power franchise's usual schedule. Think somewhere between August and November 2025—that's the sweet spot, especially since Power Book II: Ghost Season 4, Part 2 hits in September 2025, and Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 4 is expected early next year. Starz dropped a teaser trailer on June 20, 2025, which has fans hyped and points to that fall window. Keep your eyes peeled on Starz's socials for the official date once post-production's done. Cast Updates: Who's Returning and Who's Out? Season 3 will be the final chapter for Power Book IV: Force , promising a dramatic conclusion to Tommy's Chicago saga. The core cast is expected to return, with some notable absences due to Season 2's deadly twists. Here's the rundown: Joseph Sikora as Tommy Egan : The heart of the series, Tommy is back to solidify his grip on Chicago's drug trade while facing mounting threats. Isaac Keys as Diamond Sampson : A key ally and rival, Diamond's dynamic with Tommy will likely drive much of the season's tension. Kris D. Lofton as Jenard Sampson : Diamond's brother, whose conflicts with Tommy could escalate further. Shane Harper as Vic Flynn : Vic's role as a mole for Tommy and Diamond sets up intriguing possibilities. Anthony Fleming III as JP Gibbs : Tommy's brother, whose storyline may deepen in the final season. Lucien Cambric as D-Mac : D-Mac's loyalty was cemented with a bold move in Season 2, but his actions could bring new enemies. Adrienne Walker as Shanti 'Showstopper' Page : A strategic player in Tommy's circle. Manuel Eduardo Ramirez as Miguel Garcia : Miguel's growing power will challenge Tommy's ambitions. Carmela Zumbado as Mireya Garcia : Tommy's love interest, whose fate remains uncertain after her brother's violent reaction in Season 2. Miriam A. Hyman as Stacy Marks : The U.S. Attorney is hot on Tommy's trail, raising the stakes. Michael Rainey Jr. as Tariq St. Patrick: Expected to appear in a guest role, tying Force to the broader Power universe. Notably, several characters won't return after Season 2's bloodshed, including Tommy Flanagan as Walter Flynn, Cayen Martin as Leon, Guy Van Swearingen as Uncle Paulie, and Dominic DeVore as Brendan Doyle. The fate of Lili Simmons as Claudia Flynn is uncertain after her stabbing in the Season 2 finale, but her survival could spark major drama if she returns. What to Expect in Season 3 As the final season, Power Book IV: Force Season 3 is set to deliver an explosive end to Tommy Egan's Chicago journey. The Season 2 finale, 'Power Powder Respect,' left fans with plenty of questions. Tommy's coalition is fractured, with rival gangs and the Feds closing in. Here's what we can anticipate based on teasers and the show's trajectory: Tommy's Power Struggle: Tommy's quest to become Chicago's drug kingpin will intensify. He'll need to outmaneuver rivals like Miguel Garcia while poaching customers to solidify his empire. Expect strategic alliances and betrayals as he navigates this dangerous game. Personal Stakes: Tommy's relationship with Mireya is in jeopardy after her brother's interference. The teaser hints that Tommy has moved past his initial rage, but whether Mireya is alive or dead remains a key mystery. His personal sacrifices could be a central theme. Ties to the Power Universe: With Power Book II: Ghost wrapping up in 2024, Season 3 may include crossovers, especially with Tariq St. Patrick's guest appearance. There's also buzz about a potential new spinoff, Power: Legacy , which could feature Tommy and Tariq, suggesting Season 3 might set up future stories. High-Stakes Action: Expect the signature Power mix of intense action, turf wars, and shocking deaths. Showrunner Gary Lennon has promised that Season 3 will 'question everything we thought we knew of Tommy's world,' hinting at game-changing twists. Claudia's Fate: If Claudia survives her prison stabbing, her return could shake up the Chicago underworld, especially given her betrayal in Season 2.
