Starz boss envisions having a Power universe with as many as five spinoffs

Decider

“We’ve got great characters that could stand alone in their own shows, and we’ve got some history that I think viewers would like to understand,” Starz president and CEO Jeffrey Hirsch told Decider. “I’d like to have a show every quarter running 10 episodes. We have plans for the Power universe to be four or five different stories.” The first spinoff, prequel series Power Book II: Ghost starring Mary J. Blige, is already in production. Hirsch says Power fans are hungry for more. “There’s a group of people who click in to watch Power and click out when it’s over,” Hirsch said. “When we send them an email about the next season, they come back. It’s like college kids in the cable business that come in September and leave in May. If we had another Power series waiting when Power ends, we wouldn’t see that churn.”
