Starz is the Only Place You Can Stream Power Book II Season 2 Online, or Catch Up

During its original six-year run, Power took the world by storm. It didn’t take long before many regarded it as one of TV’s best shows. But the series ended dramatically in 2020, making way for several spin-offs, including Power Book 2: Ghost. A sequel to the original, and continuing just days after the first series left off, Power Book 2: Ghost follows Tariq St. Patrick, as he tries to overcome the legacy his father set before him. It’s only natural that the son of James “Ghost” St. Patrick would run into a few hijinks during his drug-dealing activities. When the first season of Book 2: Ghost came to a close many were left on the edge of their seats, waiting for its triumphant return.

You’ll be happy to know that Power Book II: Season 2 will be dropping November 21, 2021, which is ever so close. Starz is the best and only place to watch the new season of Power Book II, but also the first season, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and the many other spin-offs that are yet to arrive — including Power Book IV: Force and Power Book V: Influence.

What’s Power All About?

The original six-season series of Power expounds on the life and career of James St. Patrick, a ruthless drug dealer who also goes by the name of Ghost. When we meet him, he’s also planning to leave his criminal empire behind, to become a legitimate nightclub owner. As you’d expect, there are some obstacles along the way, and in the show, he’s forced to balance his separate lifestyles and his family. Starring Omari Hardwick, Lela Loren, Joseph Sikora, and Naturi Naughton, the entire show was riveting from start to finish. But after its dramatic conclusion, the entertainment doesn’t stop.

Power Book II: Ghost is a sequel, taking place just days after Power wraps up. It follows Tariq St. Patrick, the son of the protagonist from the first run of the series — James “Ghost” St. Patrick. Power Book III: Raising Kanan is a prequel, taking place well before the events of the first series, in 1990s Southside, Jamaica, Queens. Both season one of Power Book II: Ghost and Power Book III: Raising Kanan are available to watch now on Starz.  In late November, when season 2 of Power Book II drops, you’ll be able to watch that, as well!

Who Created Power?

The Power series was created and produced by Courtney A. Kemp, a talented writer, and producer for shows like The Good Wife and Beauty & the Beast. It was also developed in collaboration with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who served as executive producer on the show and also played the role of Kanan Stark.

The best sci-fi shows streaming right now
From Lost to The Twilight Zone, these are the best sci-fi shows ever made
The cast of Lost.

Sci-fi television has been around since the earliest days of the medium, and it's evolved along with the rest of television. In every era, though, there have been great sci-fi shows that remind us of how well the genre can fit on television.

Great science fiction can reflect on the world we know, even as it expands our understanding of what's possible. Regardless of exactly what these shows are about, though, each of them tells their story in gripping fashion, taking full advantage of what TV is capable of.

‘The Brutalist’ director Brady Corbet says he’s made no money promoting the film
The director said that he makes more directing commercials than he does making movies.

It can be wonderful to get nominated for a bunch of awards, but The Brutalist director Brady Corbet said that it's not exactly a profitable one. In an interview on WTF with Marc Maron, Corbet said that he hadn't actually made any money promoting the movie.

“This is the first time I’ve made any money in years,” Corbet said, saying that his first real paycheck in a long time came from directing three advertisements in Portugal. “Both my partner and I made zero dollars on the last two films we made. Yes, actually zero. So we had to just live off of a paycheck from three years ago and obviously, the timing during an awards campaign and travel every two or three days was less than ideal, but it was an opportunity that landed in my lap, and I jumped at it.”

John Malkovich said that he rejected Marvel movies prior to ‘Fantastic Four’ over low pay
He explained that Marvel movies took a lot of time, and he wanted to be paid accordingly.

Over the course of its 15 years of existence, Marvel has lured a number of surprising actors into its orbit. We live in a world where Angelina Jolie and Harry Styles have both appeared in Marvel projects (actually the same one).

John Malkovich was one of the last Marvel holdouts, but that's changing with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. In an interview with GQ, Malkovich explained that he had been approached to do Marvel projects in the past, but had always turned them down.
“The reason I didn’t do them had nothing to do with any artistic considerations whatsoever,” Malkovich explained. “I didn’t like the deals they made, at all.”
He explained that he simply wanted more money to work through the conditions required to make a movie on this scale.
“These films are quite grueling to make…. If you’re going to hang from a crane in front of a green screen for six months, pay me. You don’t want to pay me, it’s cool, but then I don’t want to do it, because I’d rather be onstage, or be directing a play, or doing something else," he continued.
Malkovich is, perhaps unsurprisingly, playing villain Ivan Kragoff, also known as Red Ghost in the film. He explained that working on the movie was actually like stage work in some respects. "It’s not that dissimilar to doing theater,” he said, “You imagine a bunch of stuff that isn’t there and do your little play.”
