New trailer for Power Book II: Ghost confirms September release – with Tariq struggling to free Tasha from jail

POWER'S hotly-anticipated spin-off series Book II: Ghost is just around the corner.

The series, which takes place immediately after the events of Power, sees Tariq follow in the shady footsteps of his father as he endeavours to free his mum from jail, by any means necessary.

The series will premiere first in the US on Starzplay on Sunday 6th September.

The new trailer shows Tariq going to extreme lengths to get hold of his inheritance money to use as bail money.

Tariq St Patrick, played by Michael Rainey Jr, must face the consequences of his past, after he murdered his father in the season six finale of Power, and his mother played by Naturi Naughton took the fall in order for him to get a full education.

Executive producer Courtney A Kemp told Deadline:" Power Book II: Ghost hits the ground running, throwing fans right back into the action up just 72 hours after the events of Power 615.

"What I can promise is that once the ride begins, we don't slow down."

The original series has promised two more spin offs centred around the lives of 50 Cent's character Kanan Stark, deceitful council man Rashad Tate and Ghost's business partner and best friend Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora).

Power Book II is just one of many spin-off series set to cash in on the popularity of the series.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan will track the early days of 50 Cent's character Kanan Stark, while Power Book IV: Influence will chronicle crooked councilman Rashad Tate's (played by Larenz Tate) ruthless pursuit of political success.

The third spin-off, Power Book V: Force, will follow Ghost's business partner Tommy as he attemnpts to make a fresh start and put New York "in his rear-view mirror for good".

Power is available to watch on Netflix in the UK.

The series will premiere first in the US on Starzplay on Sunday 6th September.
