The Power franchise may soon leave Starz. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is behind the successful franchise, and the actor/rapper/producer posted about his unhappiness with the cable channel after the Hightown series was renewed while the fate of Power Book IV: Force remains up in the air.
Per THR, Jackson said the following about his feelings about the network in a post on social media:
“This is me packing my stuff, Starz. Sucks, my deal is up over here I’m out. They renewed Hightown and Force is the highest rated show they have sitting in limbo. If I told you how much dumb s**t I deal with over here.”
Jackson’s four-year deal with Starz is up in September, and the cable channel said that it is working on a new deal with Jackson because they want “him to remain with the company for years to come.” THR notes that Jackson has received calls from several other outlets interested in making deals with him.
Power Book IV: Force is currently airing on Starz on Sunday nights and the drama is one of the channel’s highest-rated shows. The season finale airs on March 27th.
What do you think? Would you watch the Power franchise on another channel? Are you hoping that Force will be renewed on Starz?
I will follow the Power Universe no matter what channel it airs on….I only pay for Stars to watch those series
I would watch it anywhere it goes
Yes I’m love power wherever he moves it too I think if hes not happy with them he should do the next best thing move on
If They drop Power I am canceling Straz it no point to pay for it
The show is wonderful and yes, I would still watch it even on another network.
will watch it on what ever channel. But prefer for it to stay
I love all the Power shows. If Starz drops them; I’m dropping them! It’s the only show I watch on their network.
Starz ain’t gonna cancel Tommy. He’ll beat their asses!
Keep Power going by any means necessary
The Best Power so far, please don’t leave !
I only added Starz to watch the Power series and now Force. Where they go. I will follow.
Leave all the POWER shows on Starz. They are all great. How hope they renew Force IV
I don’t even watch “Power” but he’s “Power” trippin’. Yeah I just thought of that and I’m proud of it, lol. But seriously, they’ll most likely renew it.
Force has only aired 4 episodes so far. And Hightown didn’t get renewed until two months after its most recent season ended. Hardly the same thing. Of course they’re going to renew Force. Settle down, Curtis.
I said exactly the same thing! Curtis should give it a chance. Sometimes they don’t give a decision on a show for months! But I agree, they will renew it! THE POWER UNIVERSE is very popular. I’m following it all the way through. Since the original Power.
Yes i would
