We previously reported in the summer, that a host of spinoffs for the crime drama Power were in the works, however the one that got the most attention from fans was one that places Mary J. Blige in the starring role. Currently titled Power Book II: Ghost, the forthcoming series was initially announced during a cast appearance at this years TCA panel where MJB showed up as a special guest.
Power creator Courtney Kemp previously said that the show will continue the journey of some of Powers most controversial characters, while also noting that those characters wont necessarily focus on the main character of Ghost, despite the shows title.
Speaking about her involvement in the series, Mary had this to say:
Ive known so many Tashas, Ive known so many Ghosts. Ive dated so many Ghosts. Im a huge fan for life, and Im so grateful to be a part of it.
In addition to Marys spinoff, there was also word that the scene-stealing character Councilman Rashad Tate, played by the great Larenz Tate, would also be getting a spinoff focusing on the shady dealings of his character.
Roommates, are you looking forward to a new look into the world of Power?
