What shows are Tommy Egan in?

List of all Starz series featuring Tommy Egan

  • Power (2014–2020) – main role, all six seasons (Wikipedia (fandom wiki))
  • Power Book II: Ghost (2020–2024) – guest role in 2021 and 2023 (Fandom (fan wiki))
  • Power Book IV: Force (2022–2026) – lead role (YouTube/Starz (official channel))
  • Power Book III: Raising Kanan – does not appear (set in 1990s) – Fandom (fan wiki) confirms absence

The pattern: Tommy is one of the few characters to cross three of the four franchise shows, skipping only the prequel. As Fandom (fan wiki) notes, he is a main protagonist of the entire universe.

Tommy Egan, played by Joseph Sikora, appears in three of the five Power spin-offs, making him the most prolific character in the franchise.

Power Book IV: Force details

The Tommy-led spin-off aired three seasons on Starz. According to USA Today (national daily), the show centered on Tommy’s move to Chicago after the events of Power. Each season was promoted heavily by Starz, with Tommy’s face as the franchise anchor (YouTube/Starz (official channel)).

The performance by Joseph Sikora in Force cemented Tommy Egan as a standalone lead, though the series was cancelled after three seasons.

What are the 5 Power spinoffs?

Starz officially announced five spin-offs after Power ended in 2020. The lineup, as confirmed by Fandom (fan wiki):

  • Power Book II: Ghost – Tariq’s story, aired 2020–2024
  • Power Book III: Raising Kanan – prequel centering on young Kanan, aired 2021–
  • Power Book IV: Force – Tommy’s spin-off, aired 2022–2026
  • Power Book V: Influence – in development, focused on politics
  • Power Book VI: Origins – announced prequel about Ghost and Tommy’s early days – Fandom (fan wiki) cites Tommy as co-protagonist

What this means: two spin-offs are still in the pipeline, with Origins potentially bringing Tommy back even after Force ends.

The franchise’s expansion plans include two unreleased spin-offs, one of which—Origins—could continue Joseph Sikora’s portrayal of Tommy Egan.

What else has Joseph Sikora played in?

Joseph Sikora’s filmography outside Power

Before and alongside his role as Tommy, Sikora built a diverse TV and film career. Wikipedia (fandom wiki) lists notable appearances:

  • Underground (2016–2017) – supporting role in the WGN America historical drama
  • Reasonable Doubt (2022) – guest stint on the legal drama
  • The Separatists – independent film role
  • Numerous theater credits, including Shakespearean stage work

Sikora also received an honorary Doctor of Arts for his contributions to acting, though details are not widely publicized. His range from stage to screen reinforces the depth he brings to Tommy.

Joseph Sikora’s career extends beyond Power with roles in Underground and Reasonable Doubt, showcasing his versatility.

Why did Power Book 4 get cancelled?

Official cancellation announcement

In 2025, Starz announced that Power Book IV: Force would end after its third season, set to air in 2026. USA Today (national daily) reported that the network cited a shift in creative direction and a desire to streamline its slate. Starz president, in a statement, described the decision as “part of our evolving strategy to focus on new narratives within the franchise.”

The trade-off: closing Tommy’s solo show frees up resources for the two remaining spin-offs, but it leaves his arc unfinished in the eyes of many fans.

The trade-off

Cancelling Force gives Starz room to develop Influence and Origins — but it risks losing the core audience that followed Tommy for 12 years.

The cancellation of Force marks a strategic pivot for Starz, prioritizing new narratives over the character that anchored the universe for over a decade.

Is there going to be a show with Tariq and Tommy?

Rumors of a Tommy-Tariq spin-off

Fan speculation has run rampant since a 2025 Starz Instagram reel used the label “Power: Legacy” showing Tommy and Tariq together (Instagram/Starz (unverified)). However, no official announcement from Starz has surfaced. According to Wikipedia (fandom wiki), no confirmed project pairing the two has been greenlit. The ambiguity leaves fans waiting.

Joseph Sikora’s Tommy Egan may yet reunite with Tariq, but as of 2025 no official spin-off has been announced.

What’s clear and what’s not

  • Tommy Egan appears in Power, Ghost, and Force
  • Power Book IV: Force cancelled in 2025 (USA Today (national daily))
  • Joseph Sikora is the actor, born 1976
  • Five spin-offs exist: Ghost, Raising Kanan, Force, Influence, Origins

Rumors & open questions

  • A Tommy-Tariq spin-off is rumored but unconfirmed (Instagram/Starz (speculation))
  • Release dates for Influence and Origins are unknown
  • Tommy’s future after Force remains unclear

The contrast between confirmed facts and open questions highlights the uncertainty surrounding Tommy’s future.

What the people behind Tommy Egan say

“I’ve grown with Tommy over the years. It’s been a wild ride — he’s a character that stays in my blood.”

— Joseph Sikora, in a Q&A with Starz (official YouTube channel)

“We decided to conclude Tommy’s story with Force season 3 to focus on new narrative directions in the Power Universe.”

— Starz president, statement covered by USA Today (national daily)

Both quotes reflect the personal and corporate stakes involved in the character’s journey.

Why this matters

Tommy Egan isn’t just a character — he’s the emotional anchor of the Power franchise. Starz’s decision to end Force without a clear successor puts that anchor at risk, leaving loyal viewers uncertain about the series’ future direction.

For fans of the Power universe, the choice is clear: either embrace the end of Tommy’s standalone story or hold out hope for a reunion with Tariq in a future spin-off. The franchise’s next move — Origins or a surprise project — will determine whether Tommy’s legacy continues or fades into syndication.
