Prior to the fifth-season premiere, Starz renewed the show for a sixth and final season, which premiered on August 25, 2019.


Overview

''Power'' tells the story of James St. Patrick, an intelligent, smooth yet ruthless drug dealer who goes by the alias of "Ghost." He wishes to leave the criminal world to pursue legitimate business interests as a nightclub owner. St. Patrick aims to balance those two lives, while also avoiding police capture, trying to navigate his crumbling marriage and manage shifting economic alliances. The show features James' family, which consists of his wife Tasha, twins Tariq and Raina and baby Yasmine. ''Power'' also follows James' criminal partner and best friend Tommy Egan, love interest and criminal prosecutor Angela Valdes, friend-turned-rival Kanan Stark, protege and rival Andre Coleman, and Angela's colleague, Cooper Saxe. Defense attorney Joe Proctor, district attorney John Mak and politician Rashad Tate also appear in the show's later seasons. ''Power'' utilizes episodic cliff hangers as plot devices to carry its story forward.
