Starz has handed a second season order to Power Book IV: Force. The renewal announcement Wednesday follows strong ratings for the February 6 debut of the third spinoff in the Power franchise, which notched the most-watched series premiere in Starz history, with 3.3 million multiplatform views in the U.S. alone.
Power Book IV: Force will have a new showrunner in Season 2. Gary Lennon (Power, Hightown) is taking over as showrunner/executive producer for series creator Robert Munic, who will not be involved with the new season.
The series, which hails from Courtney Kemp and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Lionsgate Television, centers around Tommy Egan, played by Sikora, after he cuts ties and puts New York in his rearview mirror for good.
