The sixth and final season of Power will consist of 15 episodes instead of the usual 10, and it will be broken up into two parts.
The announcement came Friday during the Television Critics Association’s Summer Press Tour in Beverly Hills, the premium cable network said in a press release.
The first half of the season will premiere on Aug. 25 and consist of 10 episodes. The last five episodes will air in January 2020.
There will also be an aftershow following each episode, Starz programming boss Carmi Ziotnik said. It will be titled Power Confidential and feature interviews with the cast, executive producers and special guests.
