Netflix just secured global rights to stream the first four series of the Power television franchise. The multiyear agreement surfaced in a report that details the non-exclusive licensing deal with Lionsgate Television for the international rights. And they finally got the streaming catalog they’ve been negotiating for.
Viewers get the flagship original series alongside Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Power Book IV: Force. Courtney A. Kemp created the property alongside executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. Fans will officially see the titles hit the platform in November 2026.
Strict regional limits apply across the United States and Canada. Starz retains control as the primary domestic distributor. But one major exception exists. Both platforms will share the original 2014 series in the U.S. market this November.
Lionsgate isn’t sharing its newest investments. The signed contract mandates the explicit exclusion of the upcoming “Origins” and “Legacy” spinoffs. Those future projects stay strictly locked behind the Starz paywall—far outside the Netflix arrangement.
Exactly 179 episodes exist across 18 seasons of television since the initial 2014 premiere. Kemp produced the massive narrative through her End of Episode banner. Mark Canton’s Canton Entertainment and Jackson’s G-Unit Film and Television also backed the production.
Starz Protects Domestic Subscribers While Monetizing Legacy Catalog
Premium cable networks don’t hoard older properties anymore. Starz protects its core U.S. subscriber base today by keeping the newest spinoffs strictly exclusive. So Netflix pays to distribute the older catalog internationally instead.
The agreement replaces a fragmented distribution setup. It officially supersedes older deals like the Starzplay arrangement via Amazon Prime Video in the United Kingdom. Lionsgate trades total exclusivity for immediate capital and global exposure.
