Why is Power not on?

Due to the Super Bowl LIV - aka the biggest sporting event in the American calendar - taking place on Sunday January 2, the show has been pushed back by a week.

This means Season six episode 15 will be airing on Sunday February 9, 2020.

It will be shown on Starz TV at 9pm, but subscribers to the Starz app will be able to watch it from midnight on Sunday ahead of the broadcast.

While fans in the UK will have to wait for the episode to drop on Netflix on Monday February 10, 2020 at the usual time of 8am.

When is the final episode of Power?

Sadly this will be the very last episode of Power.

The episode synopsis reads: "When Ghost is announced as Lt. Governor it gives him a solid win and one step closer to a fully legitimate world.

"He soon discovers one of his many enemies actively carrying out a plan that changes his life forever."

In the teaser trailer, clips of all the big character Ghost has betrayed appear on the screen before the words "Watch the final betrayal" appear on the screen.

Then we see Ghost looking into the mirror and staring at his bloodstained vest.

As the promo ends, a voice says: "When we met, who did you think I was going to be?"

The sound of a safety catch coming off on a gun is heard before a bullet is fired and the screen goes blank.

Some fans believe they already know the ending after the episode reportedly leaked online.

Is there a Power spin off?

Yep - there is a spin-off show in the works titled Power Book II: Ghost.

RnB legend Mary J Blige in one of the main stars in the new series and has already been pictured on set as they film the first scenes.

Mary shared the news with a crowd at the Television Critics’ Association, saying: “This is probably going to be the most exciting thing that will happen to me this year.

“I’ve known so many Tashas, I’ve known so many Ghosts. I’ve dated so many Ghosts, I’m a huge fan for life, and I’m so grateful to be a part of it.”

Starz and Netflix have not yet revealed the release date for Power Book II: Ghost.
