‘It’s a Wrap’: ‘Power’ Cast Reveals Filming Is Over and Shares Emotional Words

Well, it’s official. “Power” is now over, and, according to cast members, the last scene has been filmed.

A few of them shared the same photo, which shows a clapperboard being held by one of the behind-the-scenes people.

Cast members like Naturi Naughton, who plays Tasha St. Patrick, posted the picture and included a message, as did La La Anthony, who plays Lakeisha Grant. Courtney Kemp, the show’s creator, also brought up the last scene being filmed, and she was the first out of the three women to do so.

“Last Shot #setlife #powertv # itsawrap #cantbelieveit #season6,” wrote Kemp on Monday night.

Anthony posted her message on Tuesday and said being on “Power” changed her life completely.

“And that’s OFFICIALLY a wrap on POWER…the final season🙏🏽😢,” she wrote. “I’m forever grateful to the cast and crew of this AMAZING show. This show changed my life in so many ways!!! WE DID IT. Take this last ride with us when our final season premieres on Aug 25th. Love you for always supporting us through the years.”

But “Power” won’t be the last time Anthony is seen on Starz, the network that airs the crime drama, because she’ll be on a new show called “Intercepted,”developed by 50 Cent‘s G-Unit Films and Television.

Meanwhile, Naughton, who’s busy working on new music, also posted her goodbyes to “Power” and, like Anthony, seemed shocked that it’s all over.

“Aaaand…. THAT’S A WRAP! @power_starz#finalseason 😩” she wrote on Tuesday. “THANK YOU FOR 6 YEARS OF MAGIC! I’m still in shock… waking up today without a call time was weird! Lol. I love my Power fam and I will miss you all dearly! I am forever changed!”

“This breaks my heart to know there will be no more Power.💔But congrats for doing an amazing and outstanding job!❣️” someone wrote under Naughton’s Instagram post.

“It’s not supposed to just end like this, I’m truly going to miss this show, the cast, every thing about it, this is definitely my favorite show,” someone else wrote under Anthony’s message.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
