Will ‘Power’ Return for Season 7? What We Know About the Universe’s Future

It’s time to turn on “Big Rich Town” and start vibing. On November 9, all six seasons of Power were made available to stream on Netflix.

The crime drama debuted on STARZ in 2014 and became one of TV’s biggest hits, which has since expanded into five spinoff series. The original Power series follows James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), a successful nightclub owner in New York City hiding a dangerous secret — he also happens to be a ruthless drug kingpin alongside his best friend, Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora).

Over the course of the show’s run, Ghost tries to balance his double life, his family, his enemies, and his complicated relationships with his wife, Tasha (Naturi Naughton), and his first love, Angela Valdes (Lela Loren). He gets some big wins, but life throws some shocking curveballs his way.

Given Power’s ongoing success, could the original series return for a seventh season? At one point, seven seasons was the plan. Here’s a rundown of the original plan and what’s next for the Power universe.

Will Power return for Season 7?

No, Power will not be getting a Season 7. However, back in 2017, executive producer and star 50 Cent revealed that he originally intended for the show to have seven seasons.

“I was telling [executives] in the very beginning, when they talked about how long do you think the series is going to last, I said seven,” he told ABC News. “It’s going to go seven.”

A year later, after 50 Cent’s character, Kanan Stark, was killed off, series creator and executive producer Courtney Kemp was candid about the show’s future. “This show was not designed to go 10 seasons. It was not designed to go 15 seasons. It’s not a crime procedural or a sitcom. It’s a closed-ended story that really begins and, in some way, ends with Ghost,” she told Deadline.

Power was renewed for a sixth and final season in 2019. Instead of the usual 10-episode season (except Season 1, which had only eight episodes), Season 6 had 15 episodes.

What happened at the end of Power Season 6?

Power went out with a bang — literally. Barely anyone made it out alive. When it comes to the main cast, Tasha killed Lakeisha (La La Anthony) after finding out her friend was working with the feds and had signed immunity papers to protect her and her son, Cash. They got into a nasty scuffle, and Tasha accidentally shot Lakeisha. In that moment, Tasha realized how big a threat Lakeisha was to her family and put a bullet in her head. Tommy, who had been planning to propose to Lakeisha, was the one to find her body.

And that was only the beginning of the bloodbath. Ghost and Tommy were on the outs big time, and Tommy had every intention of killing Ghost. In the series finale, he fired his gun, only for Angela to take the bullet meant for Ghost. Throughout the entire final season, Power had been building up to the big reveal of who shot Ghost. The series finale revealed that Tariq (Michael Rainey Jr.), Ghost’s own son, pulled the trigger. Tariq had been both a victim and a student of Ghost. When Tariq thought he had no other option to protect himself and his mother, he killed his father in an act of self-preservation.

Tommy, Tasha, and Tariq made it out alive, but Tasha took the fall for Ghost’s death. Tariq went on to attend Stansfield University, leading a double life just like his father. Tommy eventually left New York City for Chicago.

When is the next Power show coming out?

Even though the original Power stopped at Season 6, the Power universe has only gotten bigger. Following Power‘s series finale in 2020, the first spinoff, Power Book II: Ghost, which followed Ghost’s son, Tariq, debuted that same year. Power Book II: Ghost had a four-season run.

In 2021, Power Book III: Raising Kanan debuted. The universe traveled back in time to tell Kanan Stark’s origin story. Raising Kanan ended in 2026 after five seasons. Power Book IV: Force took fan-favorite Tommy out of New York City and sent him to Chicago to take over the drug scene there. Power Book IV: Force premiered in 2022 and ran for three seasons.

The ending of Power Book IV: Force was the launchpad for the newest spinoff, Power: Legacy, which will follow Tommy and Tariq as they team up and return to New York City. Power: Legacy is still in the works, but it will likely go into production in 2027.

Thankfully, we do have a Power spinoff premiering in 2027, and it’s the prequel fans have been wanting. Power: Origins will be a coming-of-age story as Ghost (Spence Moore) and Tommy (Charlie Mann) enter the drug-dealing world together as young men in the early 2000s.
