Netflix secures international streaming rights to Power, Ghost, Raising Kanan and Force, launching in November 2026; see how the deal reshapes the franchise’s
Netflix will stream all four Power franchise series—Power, Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Power Book IV: Force—outside the U.S. and Canada beginning in November 2026, expanding the franchise’s audience while Starz retains domestic dominance [2].
| At a glance | |
|---|---|
| Deal | Non‑exclusive, multiyear licensing of four Power series |
| Launch | November 2026 (international rollout) |
| Territories | All markets except Canada (Bell Media) and U.S. (Starz primary) |
| Original series move | Power shifts from Hulu to Netflix in the U.S. [1] |
The agreement gives Netflix worldwide rights to every season of the four shows, but launch dates will vary by market because Lionsgate must honor existing regional contracts [1]. Canada is excluded, where Bell Media continues to stream the franchise via its Starz partnership [2]. In the United States, the flagship Power series—previously on Hulu since 2017—will also appear on Netflix starting the same month, while Starz remains the primary U.S. home for the entire universe [1][2].
The move follows the surprise success of Nemesis, a Netflix original created by Power creator Courtney Kemp, which logged 32.6 million views in its first six weeks and earned a Season 2 renewal [1]. Lionsgate has previously leveraged similar cross‑platform licensing: The Hunting Wives migrated from Starz to Netflix and became a hit, prompting a renewal [2]. By licensing the core Power titles internationally, Lionsgate can monetize its library without exclusive commitments, while Netflix bolsters its catalog against rivals such as Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video.
The deal underscores a growing trend of legacy TV franchises finding new life on global streaming platforms, while preserving domestic strongholds for original owners. How the Power universe performs on Netflix will shape future licensing strategies for both Lionsgate and competing streamers.
