What shows are Tommy Egan in?
List of all Starz series featuring Tommy Egan

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)).
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.
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

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
