“Power Book II” was renewed for a third season by Starz, with Brett Mahoney taking over as showrunner for Courtney Kemp.
Mahoney previously was the showrunner of Fox’s “Empire.”
In August, Kemp signed a rich overall deal with Netflix. While she will retain an executive producer role on the “Power” spinoffs, she will no longer be involved in the day-to-day creative process of the shows. The “Power” franchise is produced by Lionsgate, which owns Starz. Kemp’s agreement is similar to that of Shonda Rhimes and “Grey’s Anatomy,” when she left ABC for Netflix back in 2018.
