Exclusive: Naturi Naughton On Returning As Tasha St. Patrick In ‘Power Book II: Ghost’

Premiering September 6, 2020 is upcoming sequel series Power Book II: Ghost, the first installment of the expanded Power Universe. The series will premiere on Sunday, September 6 at 9:00 PM ET/PT, then move to its regular timeslot at 8:00 PM ET/PT starting on Sunday, September 13.

“Power Book II: Ghost" picks up shortly after the earth-shattering events of “Power” as Tariq St. Patrick grapples with a new world order: his father dead and his mother, Tasha, facing charges for the murder her son committed. Not to mention the academic rigors of the Ivy League university Tariq is attending to earn his inheritance. Truly on his own for the first time in his life, Tariq is forced to split his time between school and hustling to pay for Davis MacLean, the fame-hungry defense lawyer who is Tasha’s only hope of getting out of jail and escaping prosecution by newly minted U.S. Attorney Cooper Saxe.

With no better options, Tariq turns to the familiar drug game, entangling himself with a cutthroat family headed by Monet Stewart Tejada, that’s been at it far longer than him. As Tariq tries to balance his drug operation with his grades, love life, and family, he figures out that the only way to avoid the same fate his father met is to become him — only better.

Although Tasha lived to see another day and make it to this new series, we are going to see a different side of her than when she was on Power. Whether she becomes more ruthless than Ghost or the opposite, time will tell.

In speaking with BlackFilmandTV.com’s Wilson Morales, Naughton goes over Tasha’s change for the new series and keeping her braids intact while Tasha’s stuck in jail.
