Santa Monica, Calif. – May 9, 2019 – Starz, a Lionsgate company (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B), today announced that the first chapter of its #1 hit series “Power,” created by Courtney A. Kemp, will close with The Final Betrayal. A heightened and unpredictable journey that raises the stakes yet again, Season 6 will play out over a super-sized, 15-episode season, premiering Sunday, August 25, 2019 on STARZ, the STARZ app and STARZ ON DEMAND.

“Season 6 brings us to the end of what we know is just the first chapter of the ’Power’ story. However, as one chapter comes to an end, another will begin,” said Carmi Zlotnik, President of Programming for Starz. “Courtney Kemp and 50 Cent have created a world rich with complex and dynamic characters and there are a number of stories we plan to tell as we continue to explore and expand the ‘Power’ universe.”

“We will follow some of your beloved ‘Power’ characters beyond the scope of the initial series,” said Courtney A. Kemp, “Power” Executive Producer. “But we will play with your expectations of which characters, where, and the master timeline of it all, creating a ‘Power’ universe as unpredictable as the original.”

Season 6 will also feature the directorial debut of Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson with episode 603 as well as the return of Emmy® award-winning director Anthony Hemingway (“The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story,” “Underground”), who helmed the first two episodes of the series when it debuted in 2014, to take the reins for the finale.

“The last 5 seasons of ‘Power’ have been an incredible ride for me and all of our supportive fans. We are far from over and I am excited to bring you more from the ‘Power’ brand,” said Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, “Power” Executive Producer. “I am proud that I was able to put a lasting stamp on this chapter with my directorial debut in an episode that features one of the wildest scenes ever on the show.”

Under Kemp’s leadership, the two-time NAACP Image Award-winning drama, which premiered on the premium cable network in 2014, garnered over 10 million multiplatform views in its fifth season and is the most-watched franchise for Starz. “Power” currently airs in over 120 countries around the world, including in Spain on Starz’ premium international streaming platform STARZPLAY.

Joining Omari Hardwick, Lela Loren, Naturi Naughton, Joseph Sikora, Rotimi, Alani “La La” Anthony, Jerry Ferrara, Shane Johnson, Michael Rainey Jr. and Larenz Tate as series regulars for its final season are the previously announced Evan Handler, Michael J. Ferguson, Monique Gabriela Curnen and Mike Dopud.

Season 6 Synopsis “Power” Season 6 picks up with James “Ghost” St. Patrick seeking vengeance. His former drug partner and brother in arms must pay for the ultimate betrayal. Rocked to his core by the perfidiousness and cruelties of those he once called his family, Ghost devotes himself to one notion: Success is the best revenge, with all intentions of getting both. Ghost aims to get even with Tommy, get the Queens Child Project built to consecrate Raina’s legacy, and finally achieve a thriving legitimate lifestyle with no criminal strings attached. Ghost’s need to wrest satisfaction and happiness from this world by any means necessary – is the most dangerous he’s ever faced. As the Feds grow closer to convicting him, Ghost must remain vigilant toward those wanting to take him down for his past criminal enterprises.

So is this supposed to be the last season. If so I am going to be sad. This is one of the best series on TV but it is better to go out on top.

 

[Lencho01]

Yep, it's the last one. But they're working on spin-offs.

 

[_Superman_]

I don't like this. Part of me is thinking Ghost , Tommy and Tasha will be betrayed by their son.

‘Power’ Spinoff Series ‘Power Book II: Ghost’ to Feature Mary J. Blige

I remember when I started this thread. I am sad the show is ending. I am still hoping Angie isn't dead and that her and Ghost can still be together but in reality I believe that she is dead and either Ghost is going to die or go to jail or have a Godfather 3 ending.

 

[Lencho01]

I was not at all ready for the theme song remix.

 

[Calvin Ellis]

I am upset that they killed off Angie. With her dead I am thinking this will have a Godfather III type ending.

 

[Lencho01]

I’m very fine with her being dead. Based on the trailers from before, I assumed she was and we would only see her in whatever visions Ghost may have.

 

[Calvin Ellis]

Agreed. I was just hoping that Ghost could have some kind of happiness after having everything ripped from him.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Yeah I'm glad Angela is finally gone as well. I have nothing against the actress, but her character has been in the way for the longest time IMO. I'm just ready for this season to be all about Ghost vs. Tommy which is something I have been waiting to see for a very long time.

 

[Lencho01]

It was nice hearing the original theme song.

What Dre did made no sense. None whatsoever.

 

[The Batman]

Agreed. I was just hoping that Ghost could have some kind of happiness after having everything ripped from him.

This show is going to end Breaking Bad style, where eventually, the main characters criminal lifestyle finally ruins him completely. IMO,Ghost will either die or end up in prison, and there's a chance he may not even make it to the final five episodes we're getting next year.

I still think itll end Godfather III style with him all alone.

 

[Calvin Ellis]

Was happy to see Angela back. I felt for Ghost during this episode and the ending part with Tommy just goes to show how messed up in the head he is. Kinda reminds me of the other brother from Sugar Hill.

 

[Lencho01]

I’m laughing at the idea of Tariq and his little friends becoming the new Ghost, Tasha, and Tommy. Even Proctor’s daughter can become their lawyer.

Lol now that would be hilarious.

 

[Lencho01]

Man, this was a kinda wild episode in terms of choices they got these characters making.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

Tommy is such a beast. The man is putting in some serious work so far this season and it's hard to believe that we are only like 6 episodes in, and this much has happened. The momentum of this season is crazy, and hopefully it ends with a bang.

 

[Lencho01]

This was my favorite episode of the season so far.

Also, was this the first time we actually got to see the drugs being sold on the street level?

 

[Calvin Ellis]

This season has been great. I am going to be sad when this series ends. This is probably my favorite show on TV.

 

[Calvin Ellis]

Another solid episode. Looking forward to seeing where all this leads too.

 

[Lencho01]

I wanted Tommy to let go.
