‘Power Book II: Ghost’ Ends With Series Finale But Teases Further Franchise Expansion

After four thrilling seasons, Power Book II: Ghost concluded with its series finale, “Ghost in the Machine.” Without diving into a full recap, the ending hints that the Power universe is far from over—especially with a major tease involving Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr.) after the credits.

Tariq survives, suggesting that his story might continue in a new series set in the present day. The upcoming Power Book IV: Force finale, starring franchise favorite Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora), adds more fuel to this theory. It seems likely that Tommy and Tariq could team up, with that mysterious post-credits phone call hinting it was Tommy on the other end.

Despite past tensions between Tariq and his father’s best friend Tommy, the third season of Power Book II: Ghost saw a reconciliation, aided by Tariq’s mother, Tasha (Naturi Naughton). This sets the stage for a possible partnership, as they could join forces to dominate the criminal underworld in a new chapter of the Power saga.

As Power Book II: Ghost and Power Book IV: Force wrap up, Power Book III: Raising Kanan will continue exploring the past. Meanwhile, a new series, Origins, is set to follow the younger versions of Tommy and Ghost (Omari Hardwick). With connections between these characters, it’s not far-fetched to think the past and present timelines could eventually merge.

These developments come on the heels of Starz CEO Jeff Hirsch’s strategy to manage content costs by creating new shows rather than prolonging existing series. The Power franchise boasts a star-studded cast, including Mary J. Blige, Method Man, Larenz Tate, and Michael Ealy, and has even welcomed former NFL star Isaac Keys in Power Book IV: Force. Expect future installments to feature both new talent and familiar faces.

What’s clear from the finale is that both the network and the show’s creative team are fully committed to expanding the Power universe, and Tariq’s journey is far from over.
