Power Book II: Ghost

Just days after the Power finale, Tariq St. Patrick is trying to build a new life that won't mirror his father's. He’s juggling college, a fragile sense of normalcy, and the illegal operations that keep his family afloat. As pressure mounts from debts, rivals, and complicated loyalties, Tariq has to make choices that test his moral limits and shape who he becomes. The series follows his attempts to reconcile ambition, protection of loved ones, and the weight of a notorious surname, all while outside forces close in and every decision carries higher stakes.

Created by Courtney Kemp Agboh, the sequel series premiered in 2020 on STARZ as a direct continuation of the Power universe, bringing back familiar conflicts with a younger protagonist and a new ensemble cast.

The show has attracted attention from television awards bodies, receiving nominations that highlight its acting and writing, reflecting industry interest in the performances and serialized storytelling.

Power Book II: Ghost helped enlarge the Power franchise into a multi-series universe, keeping the original's cultural visibility alive. Mary J. Blige’s presence as Monet Tejada and the emergence of new characters kept conversations about the franchise going, and the series’ success paved the way for additional spin-offs and expanded storytelling within the same world.

Audience response has been largely positive, with an average vote of 8.24 out of 10 from viewers, and critics often noting strong lead performances and the show’s willingness to probe questions of legacy, identity, and survival. Thematically it balances crime drama elements with family dynamics and moral ambiguity, focusing on how ambition and necessity push characters into risky choices and how law, loyalty, and money intersect in a young man’s life.
