Power Book II is the sequel of the record-breaking TV series Power, which followed the story of James St. Patrick, aka Ghost, as he struggled to lead his double life as a drug lord and a popular nightclub owner. He is killed by his own son, Tariq St. Patrick, in the final season’s finale. Power Book II picks up Tariq’s story after his father’s death as he tries to balance his drug world life with his normal teenage life, which includes high school, love affairs, and family.
The spin-off is full of jaw-dropping plot twists and constantly has us gripping the edges of our seats as we see Tariq navigating his life through complicated situations. The first season aired in September 2020 and generated so much buzz that not getting a second season almost seems like a crime. Fortunately, the producers have released some details about Power Book II: Ghost Season 2, and you can find them all down below.
Power Book II Season 2 Renewal and Release Date
As soon as Power Book II Season 1 made its debut, the producers officially announced the renewal of the series for a second season. The announcement was made on the series official social pages with the caption:
“We thought we told you that we wouldn’t stop. Season 2 is about to be even more (fire emoji).”
Unfortunately, we don’t have an exact release date, but we think Season 2 will premiere in September 2021, a year after it was officially confirmed.

Plot
In the previous season, we saw Tariq killing his professor Jabari for figuring out his involvement with drug dealers. He thought he had gotten rid of all his liabilities, but he left behind some evidence that is going to get caught by someone important. As confirmed by Justin McManus (the actor who plays Jabari’s role in the series). The actor said, “Season two, I can’t say anything, but I will say this: Whoever finds Jabari’s computer is going to have a lot of information.”
In addition to this, we will also see Tariq struggling to contact his mother after he puts her in a protection program to save her life. He will also get more deeply involved with the Tejada’s. Who will face some issues of their own as Lorenzo and Monet disagree on how the business runs.
The new season will be way more challenging for Tariq as he will try to escape getting caught for murder. He will also expand his drug-selling business as he follows the footsteps of his father, Ghost.
