Power Book IV: Force S2
Power Book IV: Force follows Power fan-favourite character Tommy Egan (Screen Actors Guild nominee Joseph Sikora from Ozark) as he starts over in Chicago. In a city divided by race, Tommy is ready to rewrite all the rules in his quest to become Chicago’s biggest drug dealer.
Force has a 100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and an 8.1/10 score on IMDb, with Variety saying: “By taking the time to unpack the very real racial tensions in Chicago, permitting Tommy to do what he does best and illustrating the varied characters more intimately, Force has hit its stride.”
Already renewed for a third season, Force is created by Emmy nominee Robert Munic (The Cleaner), with Power creator Courtney A Kemp exec producing alongside Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. The ensemble cast includes Lili Simmons (Banshee) and Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy, Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2).
