The rapper and producer announced the show on X:
“You asked, I answered. Young Ghost and Tommy coming your way.”
Kathryn Busby, the STARZ President of Programming, released a statement on the show.
“As we approach the 10-year anniversary of Power, it is incredible to witness the enormous connection our fans have with the Power universe. We can’t wait to see how Origins will further evolve this dynamic franchise while bringing fresh, gripping, and expansive storytelling to our audience.”
Hardwick also shed light on Ghost’s origin story.
“I would say that he’s maybe the most empathetic character in the entire story. He went to a little white boy—who was the only white boy in the neighborhood—and to a girl who hid powder and drugs for him, and said, ‘We could be more.’ […] He grew up with no mom. There’s no father introduced to Ghost. There’s no uncles, no brothers, none of that; he’s just got surrogate people all around him. The only family we know of Ghost is the one he made with Tasha. That’s the only family we know. His major overriding insecurity is that he’s still on a search, not only for betterment, but first to be better, you gotta know who the f**k you are!”
We don’t know the cast of Origins, but fans are already demanding that Sikora and Hardwick return as narrators.
Sikora is fully on board with the idea:
“I like the whole narration idea.”
I like the whole narration idea.????
