Roomies, another spin-off series in the ‘Power’ universe is coming to an end.
Which ‘Power’ Spin-Off Is Ending?
According to Deadline , ‘Power Book IV: Force’ is coming to an end after three seasons. The outlet reports that the series’ showrunner and executive producer, Gary Lennon, has written a “proper conclusion.” Additionally, Lennon has reportedly moved on to developing another series in the ‘Power’ universe.
“It is bittersweet to write the fulfilling ending of this chapter in Tommy’s journey, a character myself and fans have grown to love over the past decade,” Lennon reportedly said in a statement. “Season 3 will question everything we thought we knew of Tommy’s world and I promise you it will not disappoint! Although this may be the end of the road for ‘Force,’ there is much more expansive, compelling storytelling for the characters within the Power Universe.”
As The Shade Room previously reported, the network that houses the ‘Power’ universe, Starz, announced the cancellation of another spin-off, ‘Power Book II: Ghost’ in March. At the time, it was reported that the network’s CEO, Jeffrey Hirsh, wanted to “develop” more shows rather than sustain current ones for cost reasons.
“You look at the [Power] map and say, ‘OK, if I take one of those characters out and spin one of those out, I can bring that on to replace the ‘Power’ show at half the cost,'” he explained at the time. “…And I’m really not losing anything in terms of acquisition costs and subscriber viewership, because we know what those demos want. And we know how to line those up… with fresh content to drive the business.”
Around the same time, it was also announced that a new spin-off would enter the ‘Power’ universe, a show called ‘Origins,’ per The Shade Room . The series would reportedly explore the backstory of ‘Power’ stars James St. Patrick and Tommy Egan, played by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora, respectively.
The Series’ Star Takes To Social Media With A Message
On Thursday, June 13, Sikora, the star of ‘Power Book IV: Force,’ took to Instagram to double down on the major announcement. In a short clip, the actor explained that while he and the showrunners were “mapping out” the show’s third season, they felt this would be the “perfect” time to conclude the series.
“But don’t worry, Tommy’s journey is far from over with,” Sikora assured viewers. “We’re just getting warmed up, and I can’t wait to show what we have planned next.”
Sikora ended his message by reiterating that fans need to stay tuned in, “Because Ghosts never die and ‘Power’ never ends.”
