Blige and 50 are already close colleagues as the singer stars on the “Power” spin-off, “Power Book II: Ghost“, which the “In Da Club” rapper executive produces.

The crime drama series was picked up for a second season in September (20) following a record-breaking premiere on U.S. cable network Starz.

In addition to “Ghost”, Starz ordered three more spin-offs, “Power Book III: Raising Kanan“, “Power Book IV: Influence“, and “Power Book V: Force” as the original show concluded in 2019 after six seasons. Unfortunately, production on “Ghost” and “Raising Kanan” was put on hold earlier this year due to Covid-19 pandemic.

“Ghost” continues where the original series leaves off while “Raising Kanan” is set as a prequel series to follow Kanan Stark during the ’90s, “Influence” is expected to revolve around the character of Rashad Tate, and “Force” is going to chronicle the story of Tommy Egan leaving New York for good.
