Summary
The Power franchise includes the original show, Power, and three spinoff series: Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Power Book IV: Force.
The shows should be watched in the following release order: Power (2014-2020), Power Book II: Ghost (2020-present), Power Book III: Raising Kanan (2021-present), Power Book IV: Force (2022-present).
To watch the shows chronologically, follow this order: Power Book III: Raising Kanan, all seasons of Power, Power Book II: Ghost season 1, Power Book IV: Force season 1, Power Book II: Ghost season 2, Power Book IV: Force season 2, Power Book II: Ghost season 3.
The order of the Power television series may vary with the release of new seasons. Power, a crime drama series created by Courtney A. Kemp in collaboration with Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, premiered on June 7, 2014. It quickly became one of the most successful shows on Starz, running for six seasons before concluding in 2020. Despite its conclusion, Starz was not ready to part with this popular show and subsequently ordered a spinoff called Power Book II: Ghost, along with two other series connected to the original. As a result, there are now four television series within the Power universe, and it can be a little confusing to determine their proper viewing order.
Power & Power Book Spinoffs In Release Order
centers on the character of James "Ghost" St. Patrick, portrayed by Omari Hardwick. Ghost is a drug dealer who aspires to abandon the criminal world and fulfill his dream of owning a nightclub. However, he finds himself juggling both professions while facing personal struggles and questioning the morality of his actions. Power Book II: Ghost continues the narrative of the original show and focuses on Ghost's son, Tariq St. Patrick. Power Book III: Raising Kanan is a prequel set in the 1990s, exploring the story of Ghost's rival, Kanan Stark. Lastly, Power Book IV: Force follows the journey of Ghost's partner and close friend, Tommy Egan.The original Starz franchise, Power, aired its first television show before any of its spinoffs. However, the three sequel series are currently being broadcast simultaneously, which can make it confusing to determine the right order to watch them. To simplify matters, following the release dates is the best approach. Power made its debut in 2014, initiating the immensely popular and critically acclaimed television franchise. Subsequently, the three spinoffs were introduced in the early 2020s. The chronological order in which the four shows were released is as follows:
Power (June 7, 2014 - February 9, 2020)
Power Book II: Ghost (September 6, 2020 - present)
Power Book III: Raising Kanan (July 18, 2021 - present)
Power Book IV: Force (February 6, 2022 - present)
Power & Power Book Spinoffs In Chronological Order
should be watched first, as it is a prequel. Following that, watch all six seasons of Power. Finally, watch the remaining two shows, Power Book II: Ghost and Power Book IV: Force, understanding that they are happening at the same time.
All seasons of Power
Power Book II: Ghost season 1
Power Book IV: Force season 1
Power Book II: Ghost season 2
Power Book IV: Force season 2
Power Book II: Ghost season 3
Since Power Book II: Ghost and Power Book IV: Force are still ongoing (with Power Book II: Ghost season 4 coming soon and Power Book IV: Force season 3 not yet confirmed by Starz as of the writing of this article), the chronological order may be subject to change. However, the recommended approach would be to watch a season of Book II first, followed by the next season of Book IV.
The Best Order To Watch Power & All Power Book Spinoffs
Viewers have the freedom to choose how they watch Power, Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Power Book IV: Force. There are multiple options available, but it's essential to avoid watching them in the wrong order (e.g., Power Book II: Ghost followed by Power, or Power Book IV: Force before Power Book II: Ghost). The recommended choices are either following the release order or the chronological order presented above.
For optimal viewing, it is recommended to watch the four Starz television shows in the order of their release, considering the ongoing nature of the franchise. Once the spinoffs conclude, fans can then proceed to watch them in chronological order, in order to fully grasp the expansive universe created by Courtney A. Kemp. However, the decision of when the Power franchise will come to a close rests solely with Starz and only time will reveal that information.
