After years of fan theories, flashbacks, and early bulletins, STARZ has greenlit Power: Origins, an 18-episode prequel sequence centered on Tommy and Ghost’s early days before Truth Nightclub, betrayal, and bloody finales.
Described as a “fun, rambunctious” look at their rise, Power: Origins will observe James “Ghost” St. Patrick and Tommy Egan as younger, wild, and means too bold up-and-comers, navigating New York’s underworld with huge plans and even greater issues. Not even that, but an official press release studies that MeKai Curtis is set to reprise his Power Book III: Raising Kanan function.

“I’m excited to continue to explore the origin stories of the Power Universe’s founding fathers,” mentioned Sascha Penn, showrunner, author and government producer in a assertion. “Ghost and Tommy’s backstories have fueled years of constant fascination and speculation among fans, and I’m thrilled to be able to answer some long-held questions and share new layers of the story that viewers won’t see coming.”
Kathryn Busby, STARZ’s President of Original Programming, also made it clear this one’s for the day-ones.
“Our fans have been asking for Ghost and Tommy’s origins story since we first met them in Power — and with the launch of this series, we’re delivering in a big way,” mentioned Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming for STARZ. “This marks an electrifying new chapter in the franchise’s evolution as we dive deep into the legacy of these iconic characters and the explosive moments that shaped their path.”
Power: Origins marks the fourth spin-off in the ever-expanding Power Universe, becoming a member of Power Book II: Ghost (which just wrapped its remaining season in 2024), Raising Kanan (returning for a fifth and remaining season), and Power Book IV: Force (set to close out this fall). The crew behind the digicam stays stacked: Courtney A. Kemp returns as government producer through End of Episode, along with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (G-Unit Film and Television), Mark Canton (Canton Entertainment), Pete Chatmon, and Chris Selak. Lionsgate Television is producing for STARZ.
