Gbenga Akinnagbe, Kyle Vincent Terry and Caroline Chikezie are set to recur on season three of Power Book II: Ghost.
Season three picks up after the explosive finale of season two in which Monet was informed her nephew/son Zeke was dead. Also, Zeke’s father Daniel Sunjata’s Mecca/Danté Spears was also found dead by his handler, NYPD detective Blanca Rodriguez (Monique Gabriela Curnen). Her return surprised Power fans as she was a character from the franchise’s original series Power.
