That sound you hear? That's the sound of Courtney A. Kemp and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's "Power" universe growing by leaps and bounds. Only four episodes into its second season run, the Michael Rainey, Jr.-starring Power Book II: Ghost has received a Season 3 greenlight from STARZ. This season has seen Tariq (Rainey, Jr.) dealing with the fallout from a literal life-or-death decision during the first season's finale. Brett Mahoney is set to serve as showrunner for the third season, and will executive produce alongside Kemp via her production banner End of Episode, 50 Cent via his G-Unit Film and Television banner, Mark Canton through Atmosphere Entertainment MM, and Chris Selak. Geary McLeod will serve as supervising producer and direct the season opener.
