G-Unit head 50 Cent is standing behind calling his “Power” Starz hit the best show on television amid publicized competition from Fox’s “Empire” hit.
Fif playfully taunted the Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson-starring show on Instagram this week.
“Power” remained Starz’s most popular series after bringing in over 2 million viewers for its final show earlier this month.
The drama, which stars Omari Hardwick as a New York City nightclub owner who doubles as a drug kingpin to an elite clientele, drew 2.39 million viewers in Nielsen’s “live plus-3” estimates, which includes both same-night viewership (1.54 million) and time-shifted playback done over the next three days (850,000). This was up 51% vs. the show’s first-season finale last year (1.59 million) and broke the network’s “live plus-3” record set the previous week when “Power” averaged 2.29 million. (Variety)
Fif recently predicted how long his “Power” show would run.
“It’s the number one show on the network now – the second season [premiere] was the largest original series numbers they ever saw at Starz. They’re excited. Those are the kind of numbers that would have made [Diddy’s television network] Revolt a success. It would have did it. [Season three] is green lit. This will be going on for about probably seven seasons. Six or seven seasons. But, you know, they wait ’til after the first show has great numbers every season before they say the next one is green lit. But you know, the arc is written for five at this point.” (Hot 93.7)
Starz announced big news recently of the show’s renewal for a third season.
Fresh off a record-setting second season premiere, Starz announced today a season three pickup of “Power,” the New York-based drama starring Omari Hardwick. Creator, executive producer and showrunner Courtney Kemp Agboh will return to the helm alongside executive producers Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Mark Canton, Randall Emmett and newly elevated Gary Lennon.

Agree with 50 for sure. Power on that deep shit. Empire kinda fruity and for the girls and shit with all that lame ass singing and all them fags in the show. Power some real ass shit. Guess I just dont wanna watch a show with a buncha faggots. To each they own though.
But think of this though: With them being two different shows and on two different networks, why even compare them?
