It is definitely safe to say, that season one of the STARZ series, Power Book IV: Force, served as nothing less than a masterclass on how to launch a spin-off. Because everything about that first season was simply flawless, and at no point did it feel like the first year of a new chapter in the Power Universe, it felt like another chapter that had been on for years. Thanks in part to Joseph Sikora’s performance as Tommy Egan, and a supporting cast that was prepared to properly introduce us to the dynamic crime lords that rule Chicago, and it also featured, quality writing that engaged us like never before. All of which taught the industry, how those elements can make any spin-off quite special and well… it was so good and so amazing that STARZ did indeed renew the show for a second season.

One that we’ve only enjoyed snippets of to date. By way of the release of the premiere date and a teaser trailer. But fans of this universe, want more, need more and thankfully… STARZ knows exactly when to offer up a little more of what the fans desire. Which is why earlier today, they were kind enough to provide the world with a slew of first look photos from season two. To give us just a perfect sample of what to expect from season two, and well… since you’re a fan of this series and dying to know more about who might get Christmas cancelled on their ass, here are those incredible photos, and updated details on season two of this incredible show for you to enjoy, courtesy of STARZ.

ABOUT “POWER BOOK IV: FORCE” – SEASON 2
After cutting ties in New York, Tommy Egan’s newfound family and ruthless drug game enticed him to stay in Chicago. The explosive second season begins with Tommy on a mission to avenge the death of Lilliana, his former nemesis turned business partner.  With the Flynn organization weakened, he’s more determined than ever to take over the Chicago drug world, but with CBI split down the middle, Tommy and Diamond first must maintain their edge over Jenard. As their factions feud in the streets, Tommy capitalizes on another rivalry between the Serbs and Miguel Garcia, the most formidable drug lord in Chicago. After setting off a chain reaction of violence in pursuit of his ambition, Tommy must race to stay ahead of the men who are coming for what’s theirs, a federal task force that’s closing ranks, and a sadistic supplier with a direct line to the Cartel. All the while torn by the promise of a second chance with his blood family, Tommy must decide what he is willing to sacrifice to finally ascend the throne of a kingpin.
