It is definitely safe to say, that the Power Universe is nothing short of a phenomenon. For this dynamic crime drama has captivated audiences everywhere with its incredible characters and stunning storylines and the demand for more from this series has led to spin-off after spin-off, each one featuring the same level of quality as the original series, a true rarity, and well… the only downside when it comes to this saga, is the sheer fact that now and again we have to wait for a new season of storytelling from its respective shows. Which is of course, understandable since making ten mini movies takes time and care. But that doesn’t make the wait any easier, especially when we are dying to know what new challenges await Tariq, and Tommy, and Kanan. 
​
But thankfully, our wait for more from this saga is nearing its end. For earlier today, STARZ let the fandom know that Power Book II: Ghost, will soon be returning to the airwaves. So, we can finally learn what comes next for Tariq St. Patrick and his friends, family, and business associates after that epic season two finale, and the network even dropped a teaser trailer our way as well… to truly give us the taste we need. So, without further ado, since you’re here to get an idea what to expect from season three of this acclaimed and amazing show… here is that teaser trailer, the release date for season three, and more details on this upcoming season, courtesy of STARZ.

ABOUT “POWER BOOK II: GHOST” – SEASON 3
The third season of “Power Book II: Ghost” kicks off with Tariq St. Patrick determined to get his trust, get back to his family, and get out of the game for good. The emergence of a ruthless new connect interrupts Tariq’s plans to reunite with Tasha and Yaz and puts him, Brayden, and Effie back into business with the Tejadas as they’re challenged to move more weight than ever before. When Brayden brings Tariq in as an intern at his family’s hedge fund Weston Holdings, the drug business expands beyond Stansfield and the streets onto Wall Street, while Tariq is also shown an alternate, legitimate path to success. Monet Tejada, set ablaze by the death of her son Zeke Cross, is willing to pay a hefty price to avenge her firstborn and keep the rest of her children - and the business - in line as she works closely with Davis MacLean to solve Zeke’s murder and keep the feds off her trail.  Business is booming when a staggering reveal forces Tariq to reckon with a betrayal from those closest to him... and a R.I.C.O. investigation mounting into the entire drug enterprise, pulling Tariq deeper into the business and even closer to the legacy of his father.
