Annie, are you okay? You look like you might faint after producer Graham King turned up at CinemaCon to surprise the crowd with a first look at Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic, Michael. Said to be an emotionally intense depiction of the King of Pop, Michael is positioning itself as a Huge event film. JoBlo’s editor-in-chief, Chris Bumbray, is in the crowd and says Michael will surely be controversial.
During his presentation, Graham said he knows everyone has an opinion about Michael Jackson, for good or ill. However, he did change the world of pop music forever, and his controversy made him a fascinating subject for Fuqua’s film. Graham also said Jackson was an enigma, but behind everything was a man with a very complicated, difficult life.
Michael contains 30 songs from Jackson’s legendary catalog. Next, a trailer played for the crowd, showing Jaafar Jackson as the Gloved One.

The Power universe expanded considerably following the demise of the original series in 2020.
After the news that Power Book II: Ghost would conclude with its forthcoming fourth season, there were questions about what that meant for Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
Thankfully, Starz was quick to shut down the end date buzz for the prequel series by announcing a renewal for Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 5.
The news dropped while production on Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 4 was underway, meaning that fans still have at least two seasons of the show to look forward to.

The upcoming Michael Jackson biopic “Michael” is embracing the Motown sound — announcing key castings including Larenz Tate as Motown Records founder Berry Gordy and Kat Graham as the legendary Diana Ross.
As the film chronicles Jackson’s rise to prominence — first as a member of the Jackson 5, then as a solo artist — the record label will factor in significantly. “Power” franchise star Tate (who coincidentally played “Thriller” producer Quincy Jones in 2004’s “Ray”) takes on the Motown impresario Gordy, who redefined American music by platforming such acts as the Jackson 5, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, the Four Tops, Gladys Knight and the Pips and Diana Ross & the Supremes.
Graham portrays Ross, who, as lead singer of the chart-topping group, was asked to officially introduce the Jackson 5 to the world and remained a lifelong influence on Michael Jackson.

Ghost and Tommy are getting their own “Power” origins story. As Starz continues to span the “Power” universe into multiple series, the network is ready to announce the official fourth spinoff. The network confirmed Wednesday that it is developing the “Power” prequel series “Origins,” which will follow the beginning story of characters Ghost and Tommy, played in the original “Power” by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora.
Sascha Penn (“Power Book III: Raising Kanan”) will serve as the executive producer for “Origins,” which comes from Lionsgate TV. (It’s unclear whether it will actually be called “Power Book V: Origins.”)
The first “Power,” which debuted in 2014, starred Hardwick as James St. Patrick, a nightlife entrepreneur who is also a massively successful cocaine distributor known on the streets as “Ghost.” He rules that empore alongside his childhood friend Tommy, played by Sikora.

Starz is expanding the Power Universe again with a prequel spinoff series that will reunite Ghost and Tommy.
In the vein of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, which follows the youthful years of everyone’s favorite foe, Kanan Stark (played by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson), the new series Origin will follow the early years of the beloved duo of Ghost and Tommy’s (played by Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora in the Og series).
Fans of Raising Kanan have been asking for seasons when Ghost and Tommy would run into Kanan since the teens met in high school, yet those characters had never been cast. But as Tommy reappeared after Power in Power Book II: Ghost before spinning off into his series Power Book IV: Force, it would make sense if Ghost and Tommy appeared in Raising Kanan before Origins.

With Starz set to become a pure play standalone public company by year end, CEO Jeff Hirsch is out talking up its strong points and how it competes in a crowded streaming landscape — price increases, bundling, and most importantly, he said, containing content costs with a slate of new shows in development as later season series get costly.
“When seasons go from one to two to three to four [seasons], three to four is where the cost really pops because most of the actors get bigger raises, and you have to really manage that. So, you have to have in your portfolio of development shows that can actually replace shows as they get into later seasons,” he said at a Deutsche Bank media conference today, providing one of the most blunt assessments of a practice introduced by Netflix and embraced by other streamers where shows produced under the Cost Plus model...

Never say never.
We should know better by now as Power fans to assume anything because rarely are things exactly what they seem.
And Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Episode 10 was the kind of hour that makes you remember why the Power Universe is one of the best things on television.
This whole season has been building toward Raq versus Ronnie, Lou-Lou confronting his demons head-on, and Howard either getting away with it all or finally getting his comeuppance.
And the finale didn't disappoint in getting us a lot of answers.
Coming off the Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Episode 9 cliffhanger, we quickly learned that Raq and Marvin didn't kill their younger brother or leave him somewhere to fend for himself.
Instead, they enrolled him in a posh rehabilitation center, which wasn't surprising. No matter how frustrated they became with Lou-Lou, he's still family. And even in anger,...

Hey, "Power Book III: Raising Kanan" fans. We hope you guys totally savored every moment of tonight's episode 10, especially since it was indeed the very last episode of Power Book III: Raising Kanan's current season 3. That means you guys will have to wait quite a while to see another new episode. However, that is the good news. We can officially confirm with you guys, right now, that you will get to see another new episode in the future because Starz did renew it for a brand new season 4. In fact, they did it quite early according to the folks over at Deadline.com.

Production has already started for season 4, but again, it will be a while before you get to see it because our sources over at Trakt.

Remember that whole truth setting you free thing? Yeah, well, Lou-Lou found out the hard way that the saying doesn't always come true.
And in a season that's seen him try to break free from Raq's influence and follow his passions, his quest to liberate himself from his past has put him right back in it.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Episode 7 was all about further division, big choices, and many threatening words. So, it was just another day in the Power universe.
Raising Kanan may be Kanan's origin story, but it's also the story of the Thomas family. And this season, in particular, has leaned into furthering everyone's individual storylines away from each other.
We, of course, see Kanan in the beginning stages of building something for himself, while Raq has had to see what life is like when she's not getting everything she wants.
But Marvin...

Butta is coming together, but the struggles are evident.
Jukebox's new girl group has a lot of talent, but something is missing when it comes to turning them from three strangers into a marketable group. And N'kiyah can see the writing on the wall.
In this clip exclusive to TV Fanatic from Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Episode 6, N'Kiyah rips into the three girls as she lays out the problem and challenges them to fix it.
Even though we know that, ultimately, this won't lead Jukebox to her big break in the entertainment business, it's still fascinating to see how this chapter of her story plays out.
Jukebox has a massive amount of talent, and it's why she was chosen out of so many others to begin the journey alongside Crystal and Iesha. But it's fairly clear there's not a lot of camaraderie amongst the girls.
Jukebox and Iesha have bonded from the start,...
Jukebox's new girl group has a lot of talent, but something is missing when it comes to turning them from three strangers into a marketable group. And N'kiyah can see the writing on the wall.
In this clip exclusive to TV Fanatic from Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Episode 6, N'Kiyah rips into the three girls as she lays out the problem and challenges them to fix it.
Even though we know that, ultimately, this won't lead Jukebox to her big break in the entertainment business, it's still fascinating to see how this chapter of her story plays out.
