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?
Your brand is established 50! Don’t take that mess, bring it to an all black station like BET and be appreciated!
Starz only get our business because of Power,don’t get it twisted.
Power is the only reason I pay for stars faithfully. No power no stars
I absolutely love the power franchise I would watch them on any station they happen to be on and any station that don’t think they’re worth keeping let him go and find out we all will follow.
I’m going where the Series goes Straight Facts
WTH?!? Power is the only reason I paid for staz for the year. WTF?!!!
It’s the show that I am following, not the network. Prime or Netflix would be a good idea for the show. This way I can cancel Starz. It’s the only thing I watch on the network is the Power shows.
Where ever he goes with show I’m following.
Power Book iv– force is my favorite show on Starz. I could care less about Hightower. Renew Power Book iv
I’m down with 50, power has been fire. Yes I’d watch on another channel if he leaves. I only added starzplay to watch spin offs kanen and force. While having stars I watch few of his productions. Starz would be stupid if they acting up and losing him
Yes I will watch it on another network. You should take it to Netflix. No matter where you go me and my husband are following. Period!
I love all his shows I’ll go wherever he go
I like both shows hope the both stay on.
Would watch it on any channel
I love the series and it is one of the top reasons I keep Stars. I will definitely follow the show if it is moved to a different channel.
I follow 50 cent whatever network his shows are on that’s where I will be watching them from period.
