Starz Power Origins Prequel Series Teaser Trailer Drops
The highly anticipated first look at the younger years of the Power universe has officially arrived. Starz just dropped the teaser trailer and first-look images for Power: Origins, the upcoming prequel series exploring how James "Ghost" St. Patrick and Tommy Egan became the legendary street figures we met in the original show.
What the Teaser Reveals
The brief first look introduces the new faces stepping into the massive shoes originally worn by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora:
-
Spence Moore II takes on the role of a young, highly ambitious Ghost.
-
Charlie Mann stars alongside him as a young, hot-headed Tommy Egan.
The footage gives fans a taste of their early 1990s New York City come-up, highlighting their raw ambition and reckless brotherly bond. A major line from the clip sets the entire thesis for the series as Ghost tells Tommy, "We came in this motherf*** to touch the sky brother. I won't let us settle for less."*
Key Cast & Creative Team
The prequel bridges the gap between eras by bringing back a very familiar face:
-
MeKai Curtis will reprise his role as Kanan Stark, carrying the character straight over from Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
-
Zuri Reed joins the main cast as a young Tasha Green (later Tasha St. Patrick).
-
The massive recurring cast includes industry veterans like Hill Harper, Kelly McCreary, Damon Gupton, and Tonya Pinkins.
-
Jennifer Ferrin will also appear as Tommy’s chaotic mother, Kate Egan.
The series is showrun and executive produced by Sascha Penn alongside franchise creator Courtney A. Kemp and executive producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson.
Why the Timing Matters
The timing of this teaser drop is exact marketing precision. It arrives right as Power Book III: Raising Kanan prepares for its massive August 7th 2026 series finale, passing the baton directly to this next era of the South Jamaica, Queens story.
Starz is clearly incredibly confident in the show—they have already handed Power: Origins a massive 18-episode order for its first season. While an official premiere date hasn't been locked in yet, production is moving full steam ahead on location in New Jersey.
