The season finale for Starz’s “Power” aired on Sept. 3. However, the network made sure to give fans some excitement by releasing the teaser for season five.

“Power” revolves around James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), who has what seems to be the perfect life. He lives in a penthouse in New York City, has a committed wife in Tasha (Naturi Naughton) and three beautiful children. St. Patrick, who was known as “Ghost” when he was dealing drugs, wants to let go of his past. He decides to take his life in a new direction and opens a club called Truth. Ghost has high hopes for his new club despite the pushback from his wife and best friend, Tommy (Joseph Sikora). When his ex-lover Angela (Lela Loren) randomly comes in one night, old feelings come back. As the show goes on, Ghost learns that every decision he makes has a direct impact not only on him, but also on those closest to him.

In the latest season, viewers saw Ghost released from jail, say goodbye to his ex-lover Angela, realize how crucial his wife is to his life and lose one of his children. He came to the realization in the finale that his enemy Kanan (Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who produces the show) is more useful as a friend than an enemy.

In the 25-second trailer, Ghost, Tommy and Kanan are ready to take down a mutual enemy, Dre, who feels like he was underestimated by the three of them. The trailer effectively illustrates an age-old adage: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

Season five is set to premiere in 2018. Take a look at the trailer below.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
