March 14, 2024 Starz has canceled Power Book II: Ghost, with the show’s fourth season to serve as its last.
It will be broken into two parts, premiering June 7 and September 6.
Starz CEO revealed plans to contain content costs by developing more new shows versus sustaining series longer as they become more expensive.
“You look at the [Power] map and say, ‘OK, if I take one of those characters out and spin one of those out, I can bring that on to replace the Power show at half the cost.’ Now I’m putting a lot of money right to the bottom line. And I’m really not losing anything in terms of acquisition costs and subscriber viewership, because we know what those demos want. And we know how to line those up. And so that’s really the core of getting to that 20% [margin] - turning that slate over with fresh content to drive the business.”
Starz announced plans for a new prequel series following Power duo, Ghost and Tommy.
