More Power to you
Does Ghost have a chance? When Power returns for its fourth season Sunday, nightclub owner and drug kingpin Ghost (born James St. Patrick), finds himself in jail for a murder he didn’t commit. His past choices are catching up with him and his enemies are multiplying, making his fight for redemption ever out of reach.
“You’ve got all these different complexities wrapped up in one guy,” Ghost’s portrayer, Omari Hardwick, told Channel 7 News in Miami. “There’s the James St. Patrick aspirational character. I think that’s his goal — to be James St. Patrick. Then there’s Ghost, who he is, you know … he can’t escape.”
Showrunner Courtney Kemp told TVLine the new season tackles the big questions head-on.
“We’re going to go right at (the fact that), Ghost was arrested by Angela,” he said.
“We’re going to go right at (the fact that), Tommy’s the connect now, and we’re going to go right at Tasha having made certain choices having to do with LaKeisha and her own ambitions now being stuck in this role of, ‘Uh-oh, my husband was arrested, my kids are affected, what do I do?’”
Power, which hails on U.S. network Starz and airs on Super Channel in Canada, comes from executive producer Curtis Jackson (a.k.a. 50 Cent). It’s already been renewed for a fifth season.
HOME, SANDY HOME
The robust HGTV franchise House Hunters welcomes another new show to its family of addictive and often-frustrating programming. (What do you mean, the condo has to feel secluded but be minutes from downtown?! And how is an icky wall colour a dealbreaker?!).
Beach Hunters, debuting Sunday, is just what you’d expect: Buyers look for their next home in Instagram-worthy beach destinations, picking the winning one from three options. The premiere follows a couple who want a place that facilitates quality family time in the small coastal town of Gearhart, Ore.
No word on when it debuts in Canada.
