Starz has ordered 18 episodes of a new "Power" prequel series, following the action-packed rise of two young dealers, Ghost and Tommy. "Power: Origins" will expand the "Power" universe, as the teenage entrepreneurs on the rise make their mark on the New York City streets.

Cable network Starz announced it has given the greenlight to "Power: Origins," a prequel series focused on the lives of a young Ghost and Tommy in New York.

You can’t keep a good Ghost (or a bad one, for that matter) down. The character played by Omari Hardwick in Starz’s Power will live again in the prequel series Power: Origins, which the network officially ordered to series Tuesday.
