Starz will add another season to its Power franchise with a season three renewal of Power Book IV: Force.

Also starring in the series are Isaac Keys, Lili Simmons, Shane Harper, Kris Lofton, Carmela Zumbado, Manuel Eduardo Ramirez and Adrienne Walker. 

“The fan response to this action-packed season of Force has been incredible,” Starz president of programming Kathryn Busby said in a statement. “They’ve made it clear that they need more Tommy, and we’re thrilled to deliver.”

Power Book IV: Force is executive produced by Gary Lennon, Courtney Kemp, Curtis ‘50 Cent’ Jackson, Mark Canton, Terri Kopp and Chris Selak.
