‘Power’ Spinoff Series ‘Power Book II: Ghost’ to Feature Mary J. Blige
It was revealed in May that the hit Starz series’ sixth season was going be its last. However, series creator and co-showrunner Courtney A. Kemp had teased that new shows set in the “Power” universe were in the works and at the show’s Television Critics Association summer press tour she went a step further by announcing that the “first of several” prequel series will be titled “Power Book 2: Ghost,” and will feature Mary J. Blige.
The series will “continue the journey” of some of the show’s “most controversial characters,” Kemp revealed. Blige then joined Kemp and the cast on stage in a surprise appearance.
“This is probably the most exciting thing that’s going to happen to me this year,” said Blige. “I’ve been a fan of ‘Power’ since the very beginning and I want to thank Courtney Kemp and 50 Cent for starting this conversation with me.”
Jackson and Kemp said that Blige came to mind while they were thinking about how to enhance the prequel series.
