The Power universe isn’t slowing down. Starz has officially ordered Power: Legacy to series, bringing back two of the franchise’s biggest names: Joseph Sikora as Tommy Egan and Michael Rainey Jr. as Tariq St. Patrick.
The new drama will be set in New York, returning the franchise to the city where Ghost, Tommy, Tasha and Tariq first became appointment television. For longtime fans, that alone is a major signal: Power: Legacy is being positioned as a bridge between the original series and the next chapter of the streets, boardrooms and family betrayals that made the saga a Starz flagship.
Power: Legacy at Starz Brings Back Tommy Egan and Tariq St. Patrick
Power: Legacy will see Sikora and Rainey Jr. reprise their fan-favorite roles after leading separate corners of the franchise. Sikora most recently headlined Power Book IV: Force, which followed Tommy’s move to Chicago, while Rainey Jr. carried Power Book II: Ghost as Tariq tried to survive the shadow of his father, James St. Patrick.
Putting Tommy and Tariq back in the same orbit is a clever move. Their connection has always been complicated, emotional and dangerous. Tommy helped raise Tariq in many ways, but the damage between them runs deep. That tension gives Power: Legacy plenty of built-in drama without needing to restart the franchise from scratch.
Gary Lennon and 50 Cent Return to the Power Universe
The new series comes from Gary Lennon, a veteran of the franchise who worked on Power and recently served as showrunner on Power Book IV: Force. Lennon will showrun and executive produce Power: Legacy, giving the new chapter a familiar creative voice.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is also involved as an executive producer, continuing his long-running role in shaping the Power brand. His fingerprints have been on the franchise since the beginning, and his presence remains a key part of why fans pay attention whenever Starz announces another expansion.
What Is Power: Legacy About?
Starz has not released a full plot synopsis yet, but the title says plenty. Power: Legacy suggests a story built around inheritance: criminal empires, family names, old debts and the consequences of choices made by the previous generation.
Tariq has spent years trying to prove he can outthink the world his father left behind. Tommy, meanwhile, has always been the franchise’s rawest force — loyal, impulsive and often impossible to predict. A New York-set story featuring both characters could explore whether either man can escape the past, or whether the St. Patrick and Egan legacies are too powerful to outrun.
Power: Legacy Release Date and Cast Updates
A Power: Legacy release date has not been announced. Starz has confirmed the series order and the return of Joseph Sikora and Michael Rainey Jr., but additional casting, production timing and premiere details are still under wraps.
Given how passionate the Power fanbase is, expect more news to arrive steadily once filming plans become clearer. The big question now is whether other familiar characters from Power, Ghost or Force will appear, especially with the story moving back into New York territory.
Where to Watch Power: Legacy
Power: Legacy will be available to watch on Starz in the United States when it premieres. Starz is available in the US as a premium cable channel and through the Starz streaming app, including add-on options through select digital providers.
For viewers in the UK and EU, international streaming availability has not yet been confirmed. Starz’s direct availability varies by region, and some previous Power titles have had different distribution routes outside the US. Fans in the UK and Europe should wait for an official local platform announcement before assuming where Power: Legacy will stream.
