'Power Book II: Ghost' Cast & Crew Celebrate S3 In NYC [Photos]

It’s almost time to link up with Tariq, Brayden, Effie and the Tejada clan again. Power Book II: Ghost is set to lure us back into its addictive world with its third season, and STARZ brought the cast together to celebrate.  Tuesday, March 14, STARZ celebrated the upcoming season three premiere of Power Book II: Ghost. The intimate event happened at the Public Hotel in New York City, and CASSIUS Life was in the building. Daytime Emmy Award-winner Tamron Hall hosted the evening with the cast from the hit STARZ show in attendance. Cast members like NAACP Image Award winner Cliff “Method Man” Smith, our Young Icon cover man Michael Rainey Jr., Larenz Tate, Lovell Adams-Gray, Gianni Paolo, LaToya Tonodeo, Alix Lapri, Berto Colon, Caroline Chikezie, Paton Ashbrook and Shane Johnson were in the building.

Also in attendance were showrunner Brett Mahoney, executive producer Mark Canton, producer Dorothy Canton and President of Original Programming at STARZ Kathryn Busby. The evening began with a cocktail reception where guests enjoyed cocktails and light bites before transitioning to an intimate dinner. Guests were seated with cast members to talk about the upcoming season.

Power Book II: Ghost Is Going To Be “Juicier, Bloodier and Sexier”

Kathryn Bubsy began the dinner by welcoming attendees and discussing the upcoming season. “You will see that this year the show is juicier, bloodier and sexier than ever before and that we’ve got the same betrayals, alliances and ‘Power’ dynamics you’ve come to love and respect,” Busby said. Hall added, “Season three is always a huge accomplishment, but when you become a cultural phenomenon, that is a next level that few shows can claim, but this show, this cast can honestly say that you are transformative, important, relevant, game-changing.” The daytime talk show host also asked each cast member about working on the show and, of course, closing things out with a toast. “I think we should toast to this phenomenal cast who have brought something to TV with STARZ that people truly can’t stop talking about,” Hall said. During the Q&A segment, Rainey Jr. added he couldn’t believe Starz had enough faith to build a show around his character Tariq St. Patrick. Power Book II: Ghost returns Friday, March 17, on STARZ.
