Starz has announced the prequel series we’ve all been asking for: ‘Power: Origins’ – the story of Ghost and Tommy

Starz recently announced its fourth spinoff from the hugely successful Power series: Power: Origins, which follows Power Book II: Ghost (Tariq’s post-Power story), Power Book III: Raising Kanan (Kanan’s origin story), and Power Book III: Raising Kanan” Power Book IV: Force” (Tommy’s story after “Power”).
When we realized we were getting all these spin-offs (including the ultimately canceled Power Book V: Influence, which was imagined to focus on the story of politician Rashad Tate – he appeared in Power Book II as a substitute), every conversation I had with anyone who desired to discuss the series, I asked if and once we would get a series explaining how Jamie “Ghost” St. Patrick and Tommy Eagan became friends and eventually became the drug kingpins they were when “Power” began. How did two kids from Forest Hills, Queens, New York, find yourself at the top of the New York drug food chain?
I, for one, am very comfortable that we’ll get some answers. While Tommy and Ghost’s relationship has deteriorated over the course of Power’s six seasons, at the starting of the show they were like thieves and mostly stuck together. I say mainly because Tommy was an absolute hothead and Ghost was clearly the more level headed, forward facing arm of their drug dealing organization. Tommy was the enforcer, and the guards needed just a little help, but he and Ghost were absolute brothers, and Ghost’s family was Tommy’s family. However, by the time the show ended, Tommy was near killing Ghost, wanted Ghost’s son Tariq dead, and was almost absent from all of Saint Patrick’s family. Oh, and Tommy also killed Ghost’s boo, Angela, during a futile try and kill Ghost.
Let’s say their relationship fell apart. Reminds me of a Jay-Z song “D’Evils” from his 1996 debut album Reasonable Doubt, by which Jay raps about how he couldn’t have predicted that his and his best friend’s relationship would end in business and money, to the point where he kidnapped his mother on this fictional story your little best friend to try to seek out his ex-partner. At one point, this relationship was good and fruitful. Or think of Nino Brown and Gee Money in “New Jack City.”

It’s also wild take into consideration three friends, Jamie (apparently became a Ghost when Angela went to high school and they went their separate ways), Tommy and Angela frolicked as kids and eventually they all went on a mission to trap and catch one another, leaving just one of them alive… BECAUSE of their friendship or lack thereof.
I’m also very curious how Kanan matches into this whole picture. I am unable to lie, I used to be WAITING to see glimpses of Ghost and Tommy in “Raising Kanan.” I do not know much about Queens, but now I’m really curious as to how they arrive into Kanan’s orbit. Kanan is from southern Jamaica, which seems a world away from Forest Hills; Kanan was their mentor in the drug game. Plus, young Tasha can even be nice to see in the mix.
Probably my favorite reason for selecting this particular prequel is that Raising Kanan is so well done – kudos to executive producer Sascha Penn and the entire team behind it – from the fashion, to the looks, to the early 90’s feel New York looked like (in my head – I never set foot in New York until June 2001) that the nostalgia alone makes the series value watching. “Beginnings” would must proceed this tradition. While I do not know how old Ghost and Tommy will probably be when this series begins, it’s going to probably be in the late Nineties or early 1900s, which is a period I do know very, thoroughly. The music and style of the era, in addition to the Internet, made New York (and every other city and sound) accessible to all of us. Early ’90s New York is a time I like, but early ’90s New York is a time I’ve experienced. The thing is, I’m enthusiastic about the constant trip down memory lane.
But if I’m being honest, the most vital thing I would like to handle on this latest spinoff is that this:
I actually need to know who and why Tommy got here across the phrase “cancel Christmas” – the phrase that led to the ultimate downfall of every little thing in the world of Ghost, Tommy, Angela and Tasha. I would like to know where the term got here from and who was the first person to cancel Christmas at Tommy’s a lot that they put it of their lexicon. I’ll watch the entire season not only to see the selections made (e.g. Ghost NOT going to a prestigious school and as a substitute staying in Queens for Tommy’s sake) and how he got here to be conceived with Tasha, but mainly because for a solution to your query about the Christmas cancellation.
Can’t wait.

A small win for black television: Spinoff “Snow” is in work

Good news is on the horizon for fans mainly run by black programs, akin to “Snowfall”. According to Variety, FX just gave green light for the Potential Spinoff pilot and it looks like familiar faces will soon return to our screens.
The project and not using a title might be held where the unique story has ended, and Gail Bean and Isaiah John will repeat their roles when Wanda Bell-Simmons and Leon Simmons.
“Surprised in the 1990s, Los Angeles, soon after the original series, addicted to recovery (Bean) tries to take the mainstream rap on the west coast despite potential fights from the shocking gang war,” reads the official pilot line, in line with diversity.
Co -created by the late John Singleton “Snowfall” premiered at FX in 2017 and quickly became a favourite of fans. After six intensive seasons, the series – exceeding Damson Idris, Michael Hyatt, Amin Joseph, Angela Lewis and others – prescribed in 2023 with the last season so powerful that fans declared the series “All the Awards”.
This message appears at a time when black television enthusiasts were hit by a wave of appeal. From “How to Die Alone” by Natasha Rothwell to “Bel-Air” on Peacock (and unfortunately, the list is long) shows that the center black stories disappear from our screens on the left and right.
So, although the long run of the content run by black is more uncertain than ever, the potential for spinoff “snow” appears to be a really needed win for culture. And truthfully? Let’s take it.

“Raising Kanan” season 4, episode 2: Everyone has decisions to make!

One of the explanation why I like “Power Book III: Hoding Kanan” a lot is that at the basis of this system is simply a family program through which a family company sold drugs. But a personality like Raquel tries to keep his son close and security, while ensuring that there may be some generational wealth that might be talked about when all the things is claimed and done. Oh, and he or she tries to steer clear of prison, but again their family trade is drug trafficking.
In the most recent episode, we returned to “Współczesny”, which for the world of “raising Canana” have to be somewhere within the mid -Nineties, probably in 1995. Jukebox is in basic training and although she perceived the military as a way out of her traumatic life – she is trying that Jukebox has experienced a number of death and violence – she is going to find that perhaps the military will not be for her. Private in her company was thrown allegedly being gay, and I believe she uses it to get out when she tries to give you something.
Considering things is the topic of this episode. For example, Jukebox goes to Atlanta, to Spelman College, where her Boo from the R&B group, through which she is, buta, is fresh. He thinks that an attempt to stay in Atlanta, but quickly realizes that he’s each chasing and running away from something at the identical time. So he returns home and I actually have the impression that there may be nothing good about it. We are in 4 seasons; At some point, we must see the seeds of the psychopathic killer, which becomes an adult.
Kanan also has some movements to give you himself. His mother is his supplier and has problems along with his plug, but Kanan has concluded a contract with POPS and Snaps, the old drug times who saw all of it, did all this and ended the lives of those that hindered them. However, the old contract made by Kanana returns to bite him in Derriere and doesn’t get too well. Kanan must resolve who he wants to be a businessman and whether this sort is one with whom other kings want to work. His mother reminds him of this and evidently Kanan’s reminder needs too often and people who will later have repercussions.
Speaking of later repercussions, unique is the upcoming figure in the entire episode. While the business is occurring around him, he’s within the shade, alive, but he thought dead, moves and checked all of the people in his world who had his back and people who could stab him within the back. The unique says so few words on this episode, but you may feel the frustration in his soul; His brother Ronnie could be the one who tried to discover him, but everyone else could have to pay. It is exclusive at a crossroads, and being yourself reflects on it.

Lou-Lou can also be at a crossroads. After leaving rehabilitation, he must persuade his family that he’s to trust him and that he’s alive. But Lou-Lou can also be extremely talented as a music producer; His first single with the famous (who was missing) “streets need the body”, so people talked about his talents, so he mainly received a job as a vice chairman on the label to take care of their hip-hop. Lou-Lou has enough to realize that he will not be ready to jump into the crazy world of music, however the artist in whom he believes in what he’s back.
Our family matriarch, Raquel, received excellent news: a federal task group that was after her and Marvin was solved (or not less than it seems so). NYPD declared Det. Howard’s death was a nasty drug agreement, but old captain Howard doesn’t buy him and needs this case to be settled. While Raquel thinks that things are upstairs and upstairs, the police seem to be dilosing. It is even worse when he kills Raquel’s lawyer, the one with the ear each on the streets, in addition to the police and federal police, which implies that each one fears of Raquel felt that they might be used. Just when the family thought that she could have the option to lie down low, things soon get uncontrolled.

Why the star “White Lotus” by Natasha Rothwell is “obsessed” with a luxury black journey

Natasha Rothwell, the star of the third season of the hit HBO Black-Coldy “The White Lotus”, understands first hand how powerful it may be in a luxurious travel space.
Talking with NPR Recently, a 44-year-old actress said that her obsession with black travels began long before her character Belinda ever reached “White Lotus”.
“I’m obsessed with a black journey. I remember how I traveled after I was a real, real rinsed and saw a black person sitting in first grade after I was on my approach to training. And subconsciously, let me know that I should do it, that I can do it, that I belonged to this space – noted Rothwell.
The character of Rothwell, Belinda, has its own experience in the program this season. One evening he eats in Thailand when he sees the black couple at one other table.
“When I talked to (Mike White, the creator of the series) about this moment and throwing him, I was simply, I want Belinda to have an interaction in which she sees the potential of what could be” – explained the star “How to die alone.” “You know, she flirts with being a guest anyway, because she does her workshops and, you know, classes during the day, but she really campsplay what it is like to be in this space, and nobody asks why it is there.”
She added: “That’s why I’m excited when I see black people travel, especially luxurious journeys, because I think it’s something that is not displayed on television … So much for what I sought and do, is a consequence of representation.”
Rothwell quoted the deceased actress Nell Carter in the series “Gimmie A Break!” as certainly one of her inspiration.
“I was like, oh, she is a greasy baddie. It is in this program and runs S-. I want to do it – she said. “I would not know to aspire (to) if I didn’t see her. And I feel that the journey does the same in real life. “
Considering this, Rothwell said that although the scene was initially longer, she was “satisfied” that her scene with the black couple was in the series.
“I had a longer scene with them, so it was definitely just cut at the look, because – and this is Mike’s genius – this look more than ever the scene” – she noted.
Rothwell, which also performed in the first season, returned for the third season of Anthology Show, which follows the events, each good and never excellent, guests and staff in a fictitious luxury hotel chain. This time the program takes place in White Lotus Resort in Thailand. The character of Rothwell, Belinda, includes, amongst others, some essential character of Energy.
“For the first time he will be a guest, although he participates in classes and it is a journey to work,” said Rothwell in an interview before the premiere of the season. “She stops at the hotel, which she did not do before, so we see how she really dipped her fingers on the other side of her life on the top/bottom of the white lotus.”
