Power: Origins will cover the origin stories of Ghost and Tommy (and still Kanan) as “ambitious young entrepreneurs on the rise, determined to make their mark on the streets of New York City,” per Starz. Origins is the fourth spinoff in the Power franchise — a fifth, Power: Legacy, was recently greenlit at Starz. Sikora will reprise his role for that one, and Michael Rainey Jr. returns as Tariq St. Patrick, Ghost’s son.
