50 Cent’s Power universe is getting ready to reach an even bigger audience after landing a major licensing deal with Netflix. The hit crime-drama franchise, which began on Starz in 2014, has grown into one of the most successful television brands connected to hip-hop culture.
According to reports, Starz and Lionsgate Television have licensed several Power titles to Netflix, giving the franchise a new streaming home while still keeping its connection to Starz. The deal includes the original Power series, Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Power Book IV: Force.
The original Power will be available on Netflix in the United States beginning in November, while all four main Power series are expected to launch internationally on the platform. That means fans around the world will have easier access to the full Power universe, including the original story of James “Ghost” St. Patrick and the spin-offs that followed key characters and storylines.
Power first premiered on Starz in 2014 and quickly became a major success. Created by Courtney A. Kemp and executive produced by 50 Cent, the series followed Ghost, a powerful drug dealer and nightclub owner trying to escape the streets and build a legitimate life. The show mixed crime, family drama, betrayal, ambition, and business moves, helping it build a loyal fanbase over six seasons.
After the original series ended, the Power universe expanded with multiple spin-offs. Power Book II: Ghost followed Tariq St. Patrick as he tried to step out of his father’s shadow while dealing with school, family pressure, and the drug game. Power Book III: Raising Kanan served as a prequel, telling the early story of Kanan Stark and showing how his world shaped him. Power Book IV: Force followed Tommy Egan as he moved into a new chapter and built power in Chicago.
The Netflix deal is a major win for 50 Cent, who has turned Power into one of his biggest entertainment business moves outside of music. Over the years, he has used the franchise to build his reputation as a serious television executive and producer, proving that his influence goes far beyond rap.
For Netflix, adding Power gives the platform a proven franchise with strong replay value, a loyal fanbase, and years of storylines for viewers to binge. For Starz and Lionsgate, the deal allows the franchise to reach new viewers while keeping the series active and visible across different markets.
50 Cent also celebrated the news online, making it clear that the move is another major step for the Power brand. With the series heading to Netflix, longtime fans can revisit the story, while new viewers will get a chance to experience the franchise from the beginning.
The deal shows how strong the Power universe remains more than a decade after its debut. What started as one crime drama has become a full television franchise, and its arrival on Netflix could introduce 50 Cent’s hit series to its largest audience yet.
