'Power Book II: Ghost' Final Season Exclusive | Blavity Digital Cover Story No. 3

2024 is a monumental year for the 'Power' franchise — not only is it a celebration of a decade since the original Power series premiered, but also it is the year the final season of the beloved spinoff, Power Book II: Ghost, airs.
To commemorate this moment, Blavity and Shadow and Act gathered the cast for our September Blavity cover story, filmed in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The cast discusses the show’s impact on each other, their communities and their careers. We sit down with Michael Rainey Jr. (Tariq), Lovell Adams-Grey (Dru), Alix Lapri (Effie), LaToya Tonodeo (Diana), Gianni Paolo (Brayden) and Woody McClain (Cane).

Starz need to do more to get their shows recognized during award seasons like it's wild the Power Universe shows have not had more awards.

Woody deserve an award for that performance in that scene 😭

What people didn't know is Woody McLane, was a dancer with Chris Brown, successfully played Bobby Brown in the New Edition story and most importantly now Power he's definitely going places . Congratulations to him and the other case members of the show .❤❤❤❤❤❤.

It’s hilarious to say Michael kinda grew up on the show when HE literally DID. He was a kid when the OG Power show started and just turned 22 a few weeks ago.

Needa ask Woody more questions. He really is my favourite character on the show. Hopefully Cane has his own Spinoff one day
