Kemp’s Starz series “Power,” about a drug dealer (Omari Hardwick) trying to go straight with his nightclub business, ended its six-season run back in 2020, but the franchise it spawned still forms the foundation for her growing TV empire. She currently has three spinoffs on the air (“Power Book II: Ghost,” the prequel “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” and “Power Book IV: Force”), and for a while it looked like there would be another (“Power Book: V,” to star Larenz Tate), but Starz said in August it had decided not to move forward. The shows’ success led to an eight-figure, four-year deal for Kemp’s prodco End of Episode at Netflix, where she has pledged to create impactful series that highlight stories about and from women, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ voices.
