The Power Universe continues to expand, but Power: Origins may be the franchise’s most important chapter yet.
Unlike previous spinoffs, Power: Origins takes fans back to the very beginning, exploring the early lives of James “Ghost” St. Patrick and Tommy Egan before they became two of New York City’s most feared drug kingpins.
Here’s how the new series connects to every show in the Power franchise.
Power: Origins Is the Beginning of Ghost and Tommy’s Story
For years, fans have heard Ghost and Tommy reference their childhood, their first hustles, and the events that shaped their partnership.
Power: Origins finally brings those stories to life.
The series explores:
How Ghost and Tommy first became partners. Their earliest criminal operations. Their relationships with family and mentors. The events that shaped their loyalty—and their future rivalry.
How It Connects to Power
The original Power begins with Ghost trying to leave the drug game behind while balancing his criminal empire and legitimate nightclub business.
Power: Origins shows how he built that empire in the first place.
Fans will likely see:
Ghost’s first major moves in the streets. Tommy’s rise as his closest ally. The foundations of their organization. The early relationships that define the original series.
How It Connects to Power Book III: Raising Kanan
Raising Kanan follows Kanan Stark during his teenage years as he learns the drug business from his mother, Raquel “Raq” Thomas.
Because Ghost, Tommy, and Kanan all grew up in overlapping time periods in New York City, Power: Origins could further explore the relationships and events that eventually connect these three central characters.
The series helps bridge the gap between Kanan’s rise and Ghost’s eventual takeover.
How It Connects to Power Book II: Ghost
Although Power Book II: Ghost centers on Tariq St. Patrick, nearly every major storyline traces back to Ghost’s decisions.
By exploring Ghost’s early life, Power: Origins gives fans deeper context for:
The legacy Ghost leaves behind. His parenting philosophy. His ambition to become legitimate. The choices that ultimately shape Tariq’s future.
How It Connects to Power Book IV: Force
Tommy Egan’s journey in Force begins after the explosive events of the original Power.
Power: Origins reveals the beginning of Tommy’s story—showing how he became the fearless, loyal, and unpredictable figure fans know today.
Watching both series together offers a complete look at Tommy’s evolution from young street hustler to crime boss.
Why Power: Origins Matters
While previous spinoffs expanded the Power Universe, Origins fills in the biggest missing chapter.
For years, fans have only heard stories about Ghost and Tommy’s youth. Now they’ll finally witness:
How their brotherhood began. Their first encounters with the criminal underworld. The people who influenced them. The choices that set the entire Power saga in motion.
The Complete Power Timeline
For viewers watching in chronological order, the franchise currently unfolds like this:
Power Book III: Raising Kanan Power: Origins Power Power Book II: Ghost Power Book IV: Force
As the franchise continues to grow, Power: Origins serves as the missing link that ties together decades of storytelling across the Power Universe.
