Countdown to Power Book IV: Why It’s the Perfect Time to Revisit the Fan-Favorite Universe

What began as a gripping crime drama by Courtney A. Kemp and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, has evolved into a sprawling saga with multiple spin-offs. The Power Universe has become an interconnected world of crime, loyalty, and betrayal, one that millions of fans can’t get enough of. 

The journey started with Power (2014-2020), the story of nightclub owner, James “Ghost” St. Patrick, who secretly runs a drug empire. The universe then expanded to Power Book II: Ghost (2020-2024), which picks up after Ghost's death and follows his son, Tariq. Next came Power Book III: Raising Kanan (2023-2024) a prequel set in the 1990s that explores the formative years of Kanan Stark.

The saga continues with Power Book IV: Force, centering on Tommy Egan’s rise as he leaves New York behind for Chicago. With its season finale dropped on Lionsgate Play last December, there’s no better moment to dive into the chaos, drama, and high-stakes storytelling that define the Power Universe.
