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?
Where ever fifthy goes I go,we do not watch Starz for anything else.
I will follow whatever station it’s on, bring it to BET I love the Power series
Wherever the Power/Franchise goes I will Follow
The Power series is by far one of my favorites shows. I didn’t start watching it until mid season on the first book, but was hooked nonetheless. I would definitely follow the series to any network it was on. Great job 50 cent.
Force is so far been the weakest of the franchise
I love watching power universe and whatever 50 Cent creates I’ve been watching him since he’s been an artist and he’s been one of my favorite I believe that he should continue with them so we could be in the best of the fans because we love watching his shows and each and everyone that he has come out with hanging in there because I can’t wait to see ghost book 2 season three
This is a no-brainer where ever 50 goes I go . I
I hope power leaves starz all together. I was only paying for prime and starz for power. You have to have prime to even get starz. Paying for 2 streaming channels is crazy. This show will get way more viewers on like Hulu, Netflix. Hopefully we will see a change
I would like Force and other Power Series to remain with Starz however if Force goes to another pay subscription, I will consider dropping Starz to add the new subscription. I do enjoy the Power series and hope Starz and Mr. Jackson can work this out.
If STARZ cancel Power I will cancel STARZ! Enough said! 50 Cents, Respect!
The only reason I got Starz was because of Power. Need to get rid of one of these apps anyway. My bags packed and ready to go. I go where Power goes.
50 should leave Starz since apparently they don’t appreciate him or his work. 50 stated he’s been dealing with a lot of **** with Starz, so just leave and let them have “hightown” – whatever that is. I love all the Power series. LEAVE!
50 should have left long time theres so many options for him. Come on 50 try Netflix rR even BET lol
I will watch Power wherever it goes. I only have Starz because of Power
I will watch Power on any channel as long as the story line don’t have to be compromised. I purchased stars to watch Power.
