Drugs, Guns, and “Power”
50 Cent's gripping crime drama returns for Season 4
Starz may not have as many Emmy awards under its belt as fellow premium cable networks HBO and Showtime, but thanks to a strong line-up of original shows like American Gods, Ash vs Evil Dead, and the recently-concluded Black Sails, Starz is proving itself to be a fan-favorite destination for solid programming with a unique edge.
The network’s #1 drama is Power, from executive producer 50 Cent. who also co-stars on the show. Power follows the life and times of James “Ghost” St. Patrick (played by Omari Hardwick), a nightclub entrepreneur who also happens to be one of the biggest drug kingpins in New York City. When the show returns for its fourth season, audiences will find James “Ghost” St. Patrick in prison, as a result of his failed attempts at living a dual existence as a legitimate and illegitimate businessman.
Jail can mean a great many things depending on the sensibilities of the different TV shows which use the penal institution as their setting, but based on the trailer for Power: Season 4, it means that Hardwick is going to get seriously jacked at the prison gym. When he gets out, may God have mercy on those who put him there…
That is, if he survives; prison is a dangerous place, and trouble seems to follow Ghost wherever he goes.
Season 4 of Power premieres June 25 on Starz.
