Starz Says 'Power Book IV: Force' Will Debut Next Year

In the official description for the series, the network also gave more details to fans on what to expect.

It detailed the story behind Tommy's departure from his past life in New York to seek calmer pastures. While trying to figure out his future, he stopped in Chicago for some unfinished business— that had remained unresolved for decades.

According to the statement, several unexpected events pushed Tommy into the drug game again, and this time, he was placed between the two biggest rivals in the city. Unsurprisingly, Tommy utilized his newcomer status to his advantage, browbeating his way on a new quest to become the biggest drug dealer in Chicago.

Starz Trailer For 'Power Book IV: Force'

In addition to the official description for the upcoming series, Starz released a trailer to whet fans' appetite. The barely minute-long video opened with Tommy driving his infamous blue 1960sr Mustang on an unknown spot in Chicago, where he blew it to smithereens.

In a way, it indicated a fresh new start for the hot-tempered gangster as he navigates his life after New York. A later scene showed him being advised not to stick around Chicago. Predictably, he stayed back and seemed to delve into his old habits of violence.

With the release date scheduled for early next year, fans can expect to enjoy ten episodes of Tommy running riot on their screens. Whether or not the series would cross over with season two of its counterpart, "Power Book II: Ghost" is a yet to be confirmed possibility.

A likelihood of a crossover is plausible as the two shows run in the same timeline but just different cities.
