Power Book IV: Force: Release Date, Cast, And More
(Welcome to ...And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.)
Starz scored a bit of an unexpected hit with "Power" when the show debuted on the premium cable network back in 2014. At the time, it certainly didn't seem like the kind of series that would run for as long as it did, and it certainly didn't appear as though it would generate a healthy franchise. And yet, here we are eight years later, awaiting the fourth series in the franchise, "Power Book IV: Force." This time around, we'll be catching up with another character from the original show who is getting the chance to take the spotlight. We're here to give you all of the need-to-know information so you can be ready when Tommy returns later this year.
Here is everything you need to know about "Power Book IV: Force."

As Tommy leaves New York after losing Ghost, LaKeisha and the only city he's ever known, he makes a quick detour to close an old wound that's been haunting him for decades. What was supposed to be a quick stop turns into a labyrinth of family secrets and lies Tommy thought were long buried. One step leads to another and Tommy quickly finds himself in Chicago's drug game, inserting himself between the city's two biggest crews. In a city divided by race, Tommy straddles the line, ultimately becoming the lynchpin that not only unites them – but holds the power to watch them crumble. Tommy uses his outsider status to his advantage, breaking all the local rules and rewriting them on his quest to become the biggest drug dealer in Chicago.
