Power Book IV: Force S1
Same crazy. Same ruthless. Same fearless. Same deadly. Same Tommy.
The crime drama Power Book IV: Force follows drug dealer Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora, who starred in Power and Power Book II: Ghost) after he cuts ties and puts New York in his rear-view mirror for good, with plans to become the biggest dealer in Chicago.
Created by Emmy nominee Robert Munic (The Cleaner), the sequel series is the third spin-off to Power, which was nominated for multiple BET, Black Reel and People’s Choice Awards. Power’s creator, Courtney A. Kemp, once again exec produces on Force, alongside Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
