‘Power’ Season 6 Air Date, Spoilers: Mid-2019 Premiere Eyed; Showrunner Hints at How Series Will End

“Power” season 6 is expected to keep track of the series’ usual schedule and premiere sometime in the middle of the year. Meanwhile, looking beyond the upcoming season, series creator Courtney Kemp gave some clues at how “Power” will end.

The cast and crew of “Power” season 6 are still in New York to film the upcoming episodes. Kemp confirmed this by sharing an Instagram photo of her on set last week. And since filming is still ongoing, it means that a release date announcement might not happen within the next few months.

The Omari Hardwick-led series has maintained fairly consistent release dates since its first season. So fans can hope for “Power” season 6 to drop sometime in June or July as well.

There are no definitive announcements about the show ending after “Power” season 6. But Kemp and fellow executive producer 50 Cent previously made it clear they never intended for the show to drag on for many years.

Kemp and 50 Cent previously discussed what they have in mind for the show’s future beyond “Power” season 6, especially after Kanan’s fate (Spoiler alert: He died). 50 Cent confirmed to Deadline Kanan’s death had been discussed “early on.” He and Kemp agreed that they cannot prolong the series to up to 10 seasons and said, “We slated the show to go seven seasons initially, because we created it with the success of ‘The Sopranos’ in mind.”

However, Kemp did not give a straight answer when asked if “Power” season 6 is going to be the penultimate series installment. “All I’ll say is that this iteration of the show with me as the showrunner, that iteration of the show is going to have to end because the story that I wanted to tell is almost over,” the series creator further explained.

In the same interview, Kemp also mentioned that Kanan’s storyline has been foreshadowing “the first clues about the end of the series.” When asked how she thinks the story will end, presumably after “Power” season 6, Kemp said, “This show was not designed to go 10 seasons. It was not designed to go 15 seasons. It’s not a crime procedural or a sitcom. It’s a closed-ended story that really begins and, in some way, ends with Ghost.”
