Power Book II: Ghost season 4 promises more twists and turns for Tariq as he navigates the criminal world.
The Power franchise masterfully blends violence and crime with family, loyalty, and power themes.
Loyalty is a central theme in the series, with characters making life-altering decisions based on their allegiances.
Ahead of season 4, the Power Book II season 3 recap saw an ending of sorts, but it also left the door open for more exciting twists and turns in the forthcoming fourth season. Power Book II: Ghost is a spinoff of the network’s wildly popular crime drama series Power. It follows Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr.) as he tries to go straight while being constantly called back into the criminal world. Much like its predecessor, Power Book II is a classic crime drama that builds upon its fascinating characters in each successive season.
Though Power Book II: Ghost was the first spinoff, two additional series joined it that explored the world and expanded upon the vibrant characters and their backstories. The characters of Power Book II might not be the most likable, but their struggles are written in a way that makes them relatable. The Power franchise finds a strong synthesis between overt violence and crime and the overarching ideas of family, loyalty, and power through wealth and influence. After the Power Book II: Ghost season 3 finale, the show was greenlit for a fourth season.

Power Book II: Ghost Series Recap
After murdering his father Ghost (Omari Hardwick) in Power season 6, Tariq enrolls at Stansfield University as a full-time student to inherit his father’s estate. However, Tariq recognizes an opportunity to make money and increase his standing, and he produces a study app that is a front for pushing pills on campus. This need for “product” brings him into league with the powerful Tejada clan, headed by the matriarch Monet (Mary J. Blige). This partnership causes jealousy between Tariq and Cane (Woody McClain), Monet’s son, eventually leading to a violent confrontation between Tariq and his professor.
Following the murder of his professor, Tariq finds himself at a crossroads in Power Book II season 2, which drives him even further into the arms of the Tejada crime family. Meanwhile, Monet’s close association with Mecca (Daniel Sunjata) threatens her professional standing and further erodes the foundation of trust within her family. Diana (LaToya Tonodeo) begins conspiring with her father, Lorenzo (Bertolo Colon), and Monet even trusts Cane again. Meanwhile, Tariq’s relationship with Lauren (Paige Hurd) is jeopardized as he is dragged deeper into the hornet’s nest of crime.
Tariq is aware of the similarities between himself and his father.
While the first few seasons answered questions left over after the finale of Power, the third season of Power Book II finally saw the series and its characters come into their own. Tariq tries to go straight by joining his best friend Brayden (Gianni Paolo) as a hedge fund intern at the family business. However, Tariq’s Wall Street connections lead him right back into the world of crime. A RICO investigation echoes his own father’s demise, and Tariq is aware of the similarities between himself and his father. Meanwhile, Monet falls headlong into discovering who killed her son.
The Power Book II: Ghost season 3 finale opens with a shock as Tommy (Joseph Sikora) and Tasha (Naturi Naughton) come face to face for the first time since Power season 6. Tommy learns about the whereabouts of Tariq’s mom and hunts her down despite her being in witness protection. Tommy is out for revenge, and the brave main character of Power Book IV: Force is seemingly unstoppable. The entire beef started in Power season 6 when Tasha killed Tommy’s fiancee LaKeisha (La La Anthony) accidentally but had to conceal her actions to protect her son.
