Starz will end its most watched drama series Power with the show's upcoming sixth season, which launches in August, the network announced Thursday.

The series will finish with a 15-episode sixth season debuting Aug. 25, the network said. Power, which is executive produced by Courtney Kemp and Curtis “50-Cent” Jackson, is the second most-watched original drama series on premium cable networks behind Game Of Thrones, and the number one rated show among African-American viewers, according to Starz.

Starz president of programming Carmi Zlotnik in a statement hinted about potential Power spinoffs in the near future.

“Season six brings us to the end of what we know is just the first chapter of the Power story. However, as one chapter comes to an end, another will begin,” said Zlotnik. “Courtney Kemp and 50 Cent have created a world rich with complex and dynamic characters and there are a number of stories we plan to tell as we continue to explore and expand the Power universe.”

The upcoming season will mark the directorial debut of Jackson, as well as the return of director Anthony Hemingway (The People v. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story), who helmed the first two episodes of the series when it debuted in 2014 and will helm the show’s finale, according to Starz.

The series stars Omari Hardwick, Lela Loren, Naturi Naughton, Joseph Sikora, Rotimi, Alani “La La” Anthony, Jerry Ferrara, Shane Johnson, Michael Rainey Jr. and Larenz Tate.

When Starz launched its gritty, urban drama series Power in 2014, it was unclear whether viewers would embrace the exploits of a drug kingpin turned nightclub owner.

Fast forward to today, and Power -- the brainchild of producer Courtney Kemp and rapper/entrepreneur Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson -- has gone on to become Starz's most-viewed series, and the most watched series on premium cable among African-Americans.

Power creator Courtney A. Kemp has signed an exclusive multi-year development deal with Starz and Lionsgate, the companies said Monday.

The deal allows Kemp to develop and produce new projects for Starz and other content through her End of Episode production company while continuing her role as showrunner and executive producer of Power.

The drama series, about a drug kingpin looking to become a legit businessman, drew 8 million multiplatform views (Live + SD) per episode, according to Starz. Power will launch its fourth season later this summer.

“Courtney A. Kemp is the complete showrunner package, and we’re thrilled to continue collaborating with such a creative talent and outstanding producer,” said Chris Albrecht, President and CEO of Starz in a statement. “We are proud to see Courtney receive the recognition she deserves in our industry and are pleased the combined ‘power’ of Starz and Lionsgate offers even greater opportunities for her – and us – in the creative community.”
