Netflix will stream Power, Power Book II, III and IV globally from November, expanding its drama slate and challenging Starz’s US dominance.
Netflix will launch the four main series of the “Power” franchise – Power, Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Power Book IV: Force – on its platform worldwide at the start of November, taking international rights while Starz retains U.S. domestic control of the flagship series [1].

|---|---|
| Deal | International rights to four Power series |
| Launch | November 2026 (global rollout) |
| Content | Six Power seasons, four Ghost seasons, five Raising Kanan seasons, three Force seasons |
| Exclusions | Canada (Starz/Bell Media) and two upcoming spinoffs (Origins, Legacy) |
The licensing agreement, brokered by Lionsgate Television, covers all six seasons of the original Power series, four seasons of Power Book II: Ghost, five seasons of Power Book III: Raising Kanan and three seasons of Power Book IV: Force [1]. The titles will appear on Netflix in each market according to existing local agreements, with the rollout beginning in early November. Canada is excluded because the franchise streams on Starz via Bell Media, and the two newest offshoots – Power: Origins and Power: Legacy – remain exclusive to Starz [1].
By adding a proven drama franchise that has generated strong viewership on Starz, Netflix bolsters its non‑U.S. catalog at a time when its own original series Nemesis—created by Power co‑creator Courtney Kemp—recorded 32.6 million views in its first six weeks and earned a Season 2 renewal [1]. The move mirrors earlier Lionsgate‑Netflix collaborations, such as the Hunting Wives and Rebecca Cutter series, which also transitioned to Netflix after initial Starz runs [1]. For Starz, retaining domestic rights to the mothership series preserves its core U.S. audience, but the loss of international licensing may pressure the network to accelerate its own content‑ownership strategy, especially as it develops new spinoffs in partnership with Lionsgate [1].
The deal underscores Netflix’s push to secure established, high‑profile IP for its global audience, while Starz leans on domestic exclusivity and new spin‑offs to maintain relevance. How the franchise performs on Netflix versus its Starz home will be a litmus test for future legacy‑content licensing.
