50 Cent Drops Trailer For Power Book II: Ghost

The first teaser trailer for the Power spin-off Power Book II: Ghost has been released. You can check it out below.

So, if you're not totally up to date with Power at the minute, tread carefully, because there might be a couple of spoilers involved here.

The show is set in the immediate aftermath of the murder of Ghost, who was killed by Tariq, but then the blame was stuck on his dear old mother Tasha.

In this trailer, it seems as if Tariq is going to set out to do 'anything' he can to help out his mum, and that there's going to be a load of familiar faces returning for the show.

It was initially shared by show producer 50 Cent, who wrote: "When one chapter ends, another begins. Power Book II: Ghost premieres this September on @starz."

This is just the first of four spin-offs for the show that are in the pipeline, and - as well as returning stars like Michael Rainey and Naturi Naughton - will feature a turn from Mary J Blige.

Blige recently said: "This is probably the most exciting thing that's going to happen to me this year.

"I've been a fan of Power since the very beginning and I want to thank Courtney Kemp and 50 Cent for starting this conversation with me."

The show was originally supposed to hit screens this summer, but - you know - some stuff got in the way. Instead it will premiere in September.

We know relatively little about the other three spin-off shows that are planned, but they're going to be called Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Power Book IV: Influence and Power Book V: Force.

Raising Kanan looks to be a prequel set in the 1990s, whereas Influence will focus on the character of Rashad Tate, and Force will follow Tommy Egan.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the president and CEO of Starz Jeffrey Hirsch said: "In television history, only a select few shows have inspired four consecutive series extensions, launched into active production and development at the same time.

"These new and exciting chapters will continue the journey of some of Power's most controversial characters while featuring a growing ensemble of complex, distinct characters along with the high-octane drama that set Power in a class of its own."
