Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is hinting that the Power Universe — one of modern television’s most successful crime franchises — may finally be approaching its end.
The mogul, actor, and executive producer recently took to Instagram to share a first look poster for the upcoming series Power: Legacy, suggesting the new installment could mark his final expansion of the long-running franchise.
Alongside the image featuring Joseph Sikora’s Tommy Egan and Michael Rainey Jr.’s Tariq St. Patrick, Jackson wrote:
“New heat 🔥 on the way, I think this is gonna be the last spin off then I’m done with the POWER universe.”
While the statement stops short of confirming an official conclusion, it signals that Power: Legacy could serve as a closing chapter for the television empire Jackson helped build alongside creator Courtney Kemp — a franchise that has grown from a single Starz drama into a multi-series universe spanning timelines, generations, and cities.
What We Know About Power: Legacy
First announced in June 2025, Power: Legacy will serve as the sixth installment in the Power Universe and the latest sequel series following the events of Power Book II: Ghost and Power Book IV: Force.
The series reunites two of the franchise’s most recognizable characters — Tommy Egan and Tariq St. Patrick — as the story shifts back to New York, bringing the saga closer to where it all began.
Gary Lennon is attached as showrunner, with the series currently expected to arrive around 2027.
If Jackson’s comments hold true, the series could function as a full-circle moment for the franchise, bringing together characters shaped across multiple spinoffs into what may become the universe’s final story.
Raising Kanan Heads Into Its Final Season
The potential end of the franchise comes as another Power chapter prepares to close.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan is officially set to conclude with its upcoming fifth and final season, expected to premiere in 2026.
The prequel series, led by Mekai Curtis and Patina Miller, explores the early rise of Kanan Stark — the character originally portrayed by 50 Cent in the flagship series — charting his transformation from a teenager navigating family loyalty and street politics into the ruthless figure audiences first met in Power.
The final season continues expanding its world with new additions to the cast, including Emmy Award-winning actor Joe Pantoliano, who joins as Pino Bernardi, a powerful Manhattan Mafia boss. Leslie Grossman has also joined the series as Florence “Flossie” Siegel, a well-connected and strategic madam operating within New York’s criminal underworld.
Season four ended with one of the franchise’s most shocking moments after Kanan shot his mother, Raq, leaving viewers awaiting answers about her fate as the story enters its final chapter.
Power: Origins Moves the Story Further Back
Even as Raising Kanan prepares to wrap, the franchise’s past timeline continues expanding through Power: Origins, which is currently filming in New York and New Jersey.
The upcoming prequel will focus on the early years of James “Ghost” St. Patrick and Tommy Egan as young players building their reputations in New York’s streets long before the events of the original series.
Spence Moore II will portray a young Ghost, while Charlie Mann steps into the role of Tommy. Mekai Curtis will also return as Kanan Stark, further connecting the timelines across the franchise.
The growing ensemble includes Kelly McCreary, Hill Harper, Damon Gupton, and Tonya Pinkins in recurring roles, with the series receiving an ambitious 18-episode first-season order, the largest in Power Universe history.
Currently, Origins stands as the only Power series actively in production following the conclusion of Power Book II: Ghost in 2024 and Power Book IV: Force earlier this year.
The End of One Era — Not the End of 50 Cent
If Power: Legacy ultimately becomes the final spinoff, it would mark the end of a franchise that reshaped Starz’s identity and helped redefine interconnected storytelling on premium television.
Since debuting in 2014, Power evolved into a cultural mainstay, launching multiple hit series while turning Jackson into one of television’s most influential producers.
But stepping away from the Power Universe doesn’t mean Jackson is slowing down.
Beyond the franchise, the producer continues expanding his slate through G-Unit Film & Television with several major projects already in motion, including the upcoming international boxing drama Fightland, continued development around Black Mafia Family, and unscripted successes like Hip Hop Homicides, alongside new scripted dramas and global television partnerships currently in development.
So while the Power Universe may be nearing its final ride, 50 Cent’s television run appears far from over — even if he’s preparing to let one of his most defining legacies take its final bow.
