Larenz Tate Upped To Series Regular To Season 2 Of Starz’s Power Book II: Ghost

STARZ announced today that Larenz Tate (“Power”, Ray, Crash) has been upped to series regular in Season 2 of STARZ’s “Power Book II: Ghost” set to premiere on Sunday, November 21 across all STARZ platforms in the U.S. and Canada, and will air day and date internationally on the STARZPLAY premium streaming platform across its complete footprint in Europe, Latin America and Japan.

Tate will reprise his role as Rashad Tate, a down-but-never-defeated Councilman. With the loss of the New York gubernatorial race still fresh, he refuses to feel sorry for himself. Some guidance from his brother pushes Tate to stop waiting for something to happen and use his influence to take action – leading him to unexpected places. After sampling a taste of power, Tate won’t be satisfied until he has the full meal, but he’ll have to decide what he’s willing to sacrifice for his seat at the table.
