‘Power’ Deal: Netflix Licenses First Four Series Of Starz Franchise From Lionsgate Television

Netflix has recently finalized a significant licensing agreement with Lionsgate Television to stream the first four series of the Power crime franchise starting in November 2026. This deal includes the original show and its three completed spin-offs, making them available to a vast global audience while maintaining specific domestic rights for the Starz network. The move follows the corporate separation of Lionsgate and Starz, allowing both entities to maximize the financial value of their existing content libraries. This strategic partnership highlights Netflix’s desire for high-engagement dramas that resonate particularly well with Black and younger viewers. While these established titles move to the streaming giant, Starz will continue to serve as the exclusive home for upcoming expansions like Power: Origins and Power: Legacy. Ultimately, this arrangement ensures the long-term cultural relevance and commercial growth of a franchise that has already generated billions of viewing hours.This episode includes AI-generated content.
