“I am so grateful to Chris Albrecht, Carmi Zlotnik, and everyone at Starz for their support of Power. I am thrilled and excited to have the opportunity to create a season two that we plan to be bigger and better than the first,” shared series creator Courtney Kemp Agboh (The Good Wife).

Starring Omari Hardwick (Being Mary Jane), Power tells the story of entrepreneur James “Ghost” St. Patrick, owner and operator of the hottest nightclub in New York City. He has a beautiful wife, an enviable residence, and grand aspirations to one day head a Fortune 500 company, which, with the connections he’s made recently, is looking like something within the realm of possibility. However, one thing very few know is that the club is actually a front for a large-scale drug network, with Ghost’s fortune made through strictly illegitimate channels.

Yet Ghost is tired from years as a hustler and doesn’t want to continue living such a dangerous life that could threaten his freedom and those he loves, so he’s putting feelers out for a potential exit from the network. What he doesn’t realize, though, is that leaving would threaten his relationship with his wife, who has gotten used to the type of lifestyle that a city-wide drug ring can provide, and further endanger his family, since there are many people who benefit from the existence of Ghost’s network. And those people are more than willing to go to any means necessary in order to keep the status quo going for as long as possible.

In addition to Hardwick, Power stars Naturi Naughton (The Client List), Joseph Sikora (Boardwalk Empire), Lela Loren (Gang Related), Sinqua Walls (Teen Wolf), and Kathrine Narducci (The Sopranos).

Power airs Saturdays at 9:00 on Starz. You can watch the series premiere here.

On tonight’s series premiere of Power, Ghost has begun thinking about exiting the drug network and going straight, as he doesn’t think he can achieve his dreams with this other life weighing on him. The only problem is that nobody in his life wants him to leave – his business partners depend on the volume of income that Truth can bring, while his wife has grown accustomed to the lifestyle that his ownership of the club has provided for them. Afraid of being picked up by the cops and having his chance of becoming the man he wants to be taken away, Ghost is stuck in a situation he can’t get out of, since those he works with will do whatever it takes to keep the money coming in and him as the genial face of the nightclub. But what’ll happen when Ghost runs into his first love one night at Truth? Will he begin trying to live up to the man he once was, the man she still sees him as?

The series premiere of Power airs tonight at 9:00 on Starz.

Will Ghost be able to get out of the drug business with his body, sanity, and professional reputation in tact? Would his wife still love him if he wasn’t New York City’s drug kingpin? How will running into his first love change the way he views his position in the network?

Created by Courtney Kemp Agboh (The Good Wife) and executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (Get Rich or Die Tryin’), Power tells the story of James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), who runs one of the hottest clubs in New York City. Ghost has always dreamed of becoming a major power player in the city and the connections he’s made through his time at the club have put him on the path toward owning a Fortune 500 company one day. But Ghost has a secret – the club that has been frequented by many of the city’s social elites? The club that has garnered quite a bit of media coverage? It’s all a front for a drug network.

However, Ghost wants to get out of the drug game and go straight, since he’s grown more anxious about the heights the club has reached and the escalating chance of his being caught up in charges. It might not be that easy, though, when he’s responsible for the finances of a lot of people, people who might not want the face of their network to up and vanish just as the network starts becoming lucrative. Will Ghost ever be able to break away from his past so that he can have a fair shot at a future?

In addition to Hardwick, Power stars the likes of Naturi Naughton (The Playboy Club), Joseph Sikora (Boardwalk Empire), Lela Loren (Gang Related), Sinqua Walls (Teen Wolf), Kathrine Narducci (The Sopranos), and Sonya Walger (Lost).

The series premiere of Power is set to air Saturday, June 7th at 9:00 on Starz. You can check out trailers for the series here and here.

Created by Courtney Kemp Agboh (The Good Wife), Power tells the story of James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Hardwick), a nightclub owner in New York City who aspires to lead a Fortune 500 corporation. He seems to be well on his way, as his nightclub has allowed him to make all sorts of connection to the city’s elite, but the reason his establishment has boomed since it opened a short time ago is because it’s a front for a drug network. Although Ghost has built a nice life for himself off the backs of other people, he’s toying with the idea of going straight and climbing the corporate ladder on his own legitimate merits. But not everyone is going to be happy to have their meal ticket try and leave the network, not when he knows more than he should about the operation.

In addition to Hardwick, Power stars Naturi Naughton (The Client List), Joseph Sikora (Boardwalk Empire), Sinqua Walls (Teen Wolf), Kathrine Narducci (The Sopranos), and Lela Loren (Gang Related).

The series premiere of Power is set to air Saturday, June 7th at 9:00 on Starz.

Created by The Good Wife‘s Courtney Kemp Agboh, Power tells the story of ambitious club owner James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), a man who seems to have everything going for him. He’s got a gorgeous wife who he has a sturdy relationship with; the two live in a dream penthouse in Manhattan that serves as a daily reminder of the stature he has in the city; and his club has quickly become one of the hottest spots in all the city thanks to its uber famous clientele. However, what most don’t know is that the club is a front for one of the most lucrative drug networks in the nation.

Though Ghost has made his fortune through a less than savory operation, he’s decided to try and go straight, using the power and influence he acquired through his club to leverage his way into one day owning a Fortune 500 company. But will those he works for and with ever allow him to completely drop out of the operation, considering the importance his club plays in keeping suspicion off of the city’s elite? What will Ghost have to give up in order to get the normal life he so desperately craves?

However, what most don’t know about Ghost is that the club is a front for one of the city’s most lucrative drug networks, something that Ghost wants to change when he decides to get out of the business and go legit.

Ghost is a major player in one of the city’s biggest illegal drug networks, making his future not his to decide. A lot of people depend on him performing and using his reach at the club to expand their client base, yet he’s decided that he wants to go legit and leave his sordid past behind. He’s tired of having to balance his two selves and keep things from those he loves, so with the considerable income he’s earned from his time in the drug game, Ghost has enough financial security to exit the network and go his own way. Except when he tries to leave, those who work under, with, and around him aren’t so quick to let him go, not when he could easily rat them out if the feds come knocking at his door and not when he has the life that so many of them are looking to build.

In addition to Hardwick, Power stars Naturi Naughton (The Client List), Joseph Sikora (Boardwalk Empire), Sinqua Walls (Teen Wolf), Kathrine Narducci (The Sopranos), and Lela Loren (Gang Related).

After years of building himself up, though, Ghost is ready to leave the criminal life behind in favor of actively pursuing his goals of being a high-powered executives, the likes of whom he serves at his club. Going legit won’t be easy with so many dangerous, well-connected people relying on the drug business he’s led to prominence and though Ghost may have people whose hands he trusts the network in, he might not be able to leave, since they would always worry about him turning on them if his back was against the wall and he became connected to any type of criminal behavior. Can Ghost find a way to separate himself from the life he once lived in order to live the life he always wanted?
