Back at the beginning of December, STARZ announced that it had given a third season order for Courtney A. Kemp and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's Michael Rainey, Jr.-starring Power Book II: Ghost. Earlier today, we learned that David Walton (9JKL), Monique Curnen (The Dark Knight), and Moriah Brown (Raising Dion) had been tapped to join the cast for its third run. Walton's Lucas Weston is an adventure-seeking, left-leaning high-level executive at his family's Wall Street firm. Brown's Kiki Travis is a young VP at a Wall Street firm. She's Ivy League-educated, doesn't come from privilege but is making her own way in the world of the business elite. Curnen reprises her first season role as former NYPD Detective Blanca Rodriguez, more determined than ever to finish the business of the past. 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, Jackson 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 (Deadline Hollywood first reported exclusively).
