The popular spinoff seriesPower Book IV: Forcehas been renewed for a third season, but the hit Starz series will also be ending. Coming as the third spinoff of the showPowerwhich debuted in 2014,Power Book IV: Forcearrived in 2022 and follows familiar character Tommy Egan as he moves from New York to Chicago in an attempt to usurp the city’s gangs and become the most powerful drug kingpin. Breaking the usual formula from the other shows in the franchise,Forceis nevertheless just as well-regarded by critics.

Like the rest ofthe shows in thePowerseries,Power Book IV: Forceutilizes a deft mix of the high-excitement of the usual crime show fare, but injects a large amount of realism within its character drama. Joseph Sikora turned heads as Tommy in bothPowerandPower Book II: Ghost, and it only seemed natural that he could carry his own spinoff with ease. By leaving New York and New Jersey behind,Forcealso represents a refreshing change of pace that broadens the franchise’s horizons. With that in mind, it wasn’t surprising when Starz renewed for season 3.

Expect An Explosive Conclusion In Season 3

The announcement thatPower Book IV: Forceis ending after season 3 adds new wrinkles to the potential plot of the next season, and an explosive conclusion is expected. Season 2’s finale offered a few shocking twists, but it mostly served to set the stage for the final conflict between Tommy, his rivals, and the feds. With Diamond and Tommy content to use Vic as a mole,the duo may be able to burn their enemies by using the Feds as unwitting protection.

Meanwhile,D-Mac’s cold-blooded murder of one of Diamond’s rivals proves his loyalty, but it could bring down the wrath of the rival gangson the burgeoning empire. Claudia was betrayed and sent to prison in the final episode of season 2, but she was also stabbed by a fellow prisoner. Without her death being shown conclusively on screen, she could return to cause problems inPower Book IV: Forceseason 3.
