Power characters Tariq St. Patrick and Tommy Egan are getting back in the game.
On June 4, Starz announced fan-favorite actors Michael Rainey Jr. (Tariq) and Joseph Sikora (Tommy) will headline a new spinoff series titled Power: Legacy.
“The fans have spoken, and we listened,” Kathryn Busby, president of original programming at Starz, said in a statement. “Power doesn’t die, it evolves with its audience, and for over a decade the Power universe has remained at the forefront of culture.”
Rainey and Sikora originated their roles on Power more than 10 years ago, and each actor later landed their own show.

Rainey led the cast of crime drama Power Book II: Ghost, which focused on rising hustler Tariq as he began a new chapter as a college student. The series debuted in 2020 and ran for four seasons on Starz.
Sikora starred on Power Book IV: Force. The drama followed Tommy after he put New York in his rearview mirror and ended up in Chicago, where he took on the city’s two biggest crews. After debuting in 2022, the drama ran for three seasons and concluded in January 2026.
Now the two actors will reunite as Tommy returns to New York and partners with Tariq, according to Starz.
“Fans have been waiting to see Tariq and Tommy together, and now they’re taking over New York City. Bringing Joseph and Michael back together is special, they’ve turned these characters into true icons of the Power universe,” said executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
Power: Legacy is the fifth Power spinoff in the franchise. Gary Lennon (Power and Euphoria) will serve as executive producer, and showrunner. Lennon co-wrote the script for the pilot with Kendra Chapman Davis.
“I’m thrilled to reunite with Starz to bring this latest chapter of the Power universe to fans and especially proud to be entrusted with continuing Tommy and Tariq’s story as showrunner on Power: Legacy,” said Lennon. “It’s going to be electrifying to see if these two men can share the city, the game and the intoxicating drug known as Power.”
The series is executive-produced by the creator and showrunner of the original Power, Courtney A. Kemp, through her production company, End of Episode. 50 Cent executive produces through G-Unit Film and Television. Mark Canton is also an executive producer through Canton Entertainment.
