Starz‘s Power Book IV: Force will conclude following the drama’s third season which is at present in manufacturing in Chicago. It’s lights out for Tommy (Joseph Sikora) and the gang however that doesn’t imply their tales are over.
As Deadline reported in March, Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch revealed plans to comprise content material prices by growing extra new exhibits versus sustaining sequence longer as they change into costlier. The plan was carried out instantly as Starz introduced the subsequent day the event of a brand new prequel sequence Origin, following the Ghost (Omari Hardwick within the flagship sequence) and Tommy throughout their early years. The brand new present is much like Energy E book III: Elevating Kanan, which facilities on Energy’s favourite foe, Kanan Stark (performed by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson) throughout his youthful years.
Only a day later, the bombshell information was revealed that Energy E book II: Ghost would conclude with Season 4, airing at present through linear and the Starz app. And now, it’s the tip of Drive.
Deadline understands showrunner and government producer Gary Lennon has written a correct conclusion for the sequence and has already moved on to a brand new mission: growing one other installment inside the “Energy” franchise.
“It’s bittersweet to put in writing the fulfilling ending of this chapter in Tommy’s journey, a personality myself and followers have grown to like over the previous decade,” stated Lennon in an announcement. “Season 3 will query every thing we thought we knew of Tommy’s world and I promise you it’ll not disappoint! Though this can be the tip of the highway for Drive, there’s far more expansive, compelling storytelling for the characters inside the Energy Universe.”
In March, Lennon signed a brand new take care of Lionsgate Tv which famous he would work with them and Starz to increase and create new extensions of the favored franchise.
The place this leaves followers is with two prequels, following the conclusion of Energy E book IV: Drive with Season 3, with no exhibits left on the present timeline. What would make sense as a subsequent transfer is to have Elevating Kanan finish after Season 5 with the potential of Mekai Curtis reprising the position of Kanan Stark and coming into the world of Origin. With the tip of Ghost and Drive, the casts can mix nevertheless they see match to proceed the present-day timeline with the launch of a brand new sequence.
Though we don’t understand how Ghost will finish, the naked minimal is that Tariq (Michael Rainey Jr.) might mix forces along with his Uncle Tommy. In any case, Tommy and Tasha (Naturi Naughton) just lately mended fences although who is aware of how lengthy that can final.
Sikora addressed the present’s finish through Instagram and that the tip of Drive isn’t the tip of Tommy.
“However don’t fear, Tommy’s journey is way from over with. We’re simply beginning to get warmed up with it, he stated.”
Rainey instructed me in late Might whereas discussing Tariq’s future, that he can be open to taking part in the character longer however he additionally could be completed and able to transfer on, as actors say in order to not blow the plot of the finale.
“I wouldn’t be towards it if it was a factor. Why wouldn’t I? I might love to offer the followers what they need,” he stated. “But additionally, I’m prepared to maneuver on to the subsequent chapter of my profession. I’m tremendous excited to assault that. I might love to offer the followers what they need, however that’s not a part of the plan as of now. I’m prepared to point out you what else Michael can do.”
The unique Energy sequence ended with Ghost’s homicide by the hands of his son Tariq, so it’s believable to guess that ending Ghost with the demise of Tariq would take advantage of sense. Possibly so however there’s no method Energy would go with out having a sequence within the current day, proper? Tariq and Tommy take advantage of sense nevertheless it’s too early to see how every thing will play out.
Who else? The Tejadas are self-destructing with matriarch Monet (Mary J. Blige) nursing a gunshot wound and with a son, Dru (Lovell Adams-Grey) hell-bent on seeing her six toes beneath in revenge for his or her father Lorenzo’s (Berto Colon) homicide. Monet may not be for much longer for this world. Cane (Woody McClain) is the strongest contender for survival, however once more, at this level, something can occur.
On the Drive entrance, some characters might be a part of a brand new sequence like David “Diamond” Sampson (Isaac Keys) nevertheless it’s additionally too early to take a position as the ultimate season has but to air.
As a reminder, there’s been prior discuss in regards to the Energy franchise increasing to London, amongst different locations, so a combo (OG and new solid) within the current makes probably the most sense. As they are saying, keep tuned.
