Starz describes the series as “a fun, rambunctious exploration of a new time period in the Power franchise.” Power: Origins will highlight “the unbridled audacity of young men on the rise, determined to become legends in the game.” It centers around the early years of the lead characters from the Mothership series, James “Ghost” St. James and Tommy Egan, who will be played by Spence Moore II and Charlie Mann, respectively.
Along with Moore II and Mann, Power: Origins stars Mekai Curtis, Jason Dirden, Jennifer Ferrin, Lizzy DeClement, Lenny Platt, Armani Gabriel, and Everett Osborne. Take a look below to see who is joining the series, according to Deadline.
