Starz unveils first look at Power: Origins Season 1, with new Ghost and Tommy and Kanan Stark returning

Starz has released a teaser and a set of first-look photos for Power: Origins Season 1, previewing the show’s next chapter through new casting and character partnerships, according to Deadline. The network’s materials introduce Spence Moore as Ghost and Charlie Mann as Tommy, while MeKai Curtis returns in the role of Kanan Stark from his earlier run on Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

The photos and teaser frame Ghost and Tommy as the central figures in this “Origins” take, with casting choices that distinguish the new generation from the original series’ leads. Moore steps into the role of Ghost, the character originally portrayed by Omari Hardwick in Power. Mann takes on Tommy, a part originally played by Joseph Sikora in Power.

Curtis’ return as Kanan Stark is presented as a through-line connecting Power: Origins to Power Book III: Raising Kanan. Deadline’s report identifies Curtis as reprising the same character, highlighting continuity across the Power universe as the franchise expands into additional origin-focused storytelling.

Deadline also notes that the teaser is part of the network’s Season 1 rollout, accompanied by new promotional imagery featuring the actors behind Ghost and Tommy. The report positions the release as the first public look at how the show will introduce its characters and dynamics early in the season’s marketing cycle.

The teaser and photos come as Starz continues to build on audience familiarity with the Power franchise, which has previously centered viewers on the interplay between characters including Ghost and Tommy, as well as Kanan’s presence across related installments. For viewers following multiple series, Curtis’ casting in Power: Origins is likely to serve as a recognizable anchor as new faces arrive for Ghost and Tommy.

For stakeholders in the entertainment industry, the casting announcements also report how the franchise is handling intellectual property and brand continuity. By pairing legacy-role comparisons (Hardwick and Sikora in the original Power series) with a new set of actors (Moore and Mann) and a returning character (Curtis as Kanan), the show’s Season 1 marketing emphasizes lineage and transitions within the same universe.

Additional episode details, including a full premiere date, episode count, and plot specifics beyond the character introductions, were not included in Deadline’s summary. Viewers and industry observers will likely look to subsequent Starz releases and press materials for timing, story scope, and any expanded cast announcements.

As Starz moves forward with the season rollout, the next set of updates typically determines how the show’s promotional momentum translates into subscriber interest and viewer retention. The emphasis on key character recasting and inter-series continuity suggests Starz plans to maintain franchise coherence while testing audience response to the “Origins” framing through familiar characters presented by a new generation of performers.
