Media outlets are reporting that Starz have renewed Power spinoff series, Power Book IV: Force, for a second season.
.
The official synopsis for the series is as follows:
Power Book IV: Force focuses on fan-favourite character Tommy Egan, after he cuts ties and puts New York in his rearview mirror for good. 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. As the first season unfolds at breakneck speed, 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.

The reports also state that series creator and showrunner, Robert Munic, will not be involved with the new season, leaving Gary Lennon stepping in as showrunner for season two.
