What is Power Book II: Ghost about?

Picking up just a few short days after the final episode of Power, Book II sees Tariq St Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr) cope with the earth-shattering fallout, as his mother faces charges for a murder she didn't commit.

The midseason finale, titled The Gift of the Magi, presented some major new challenges for Tariq, who made an emotional confession while drugged at a party and later has his stash stolen by Brayden's brother.

It seems like the walls are closing in on Tariq, as his enemies are intent on seeing him go down for James St Patrick's murder - but can he find a way out?

Who is in the cast of Power Book II: Ghost?

Leading the Power Book II: Ghost cast, Michael Rainey Jr plays the role of Tariq St Patrick, which he reprises from the original Power series, with Naturi Naughton also returning as Tasha St Patrick.

Musician and Umbrella Academy star Mary J Blige is joining the series in a new role, along with rapper and songwriter Method Man.

The principal cast also includes Paige Hurd (Everybody Hates Chris), Sherri Saum (Locke & Key) and Shane Johnson, reprising the role of Cooper Saxe from Power.
