Power: Origins will make franchise history with a supersized episode count. The upcoming spinoff in Starz's Power franchise is a prequel featuring Spence Moore as young James "Ghost" St. Patrick and Charlie Mann as a young Tommy Egan. Omari Hardwick and Joseph Sikora previously played the respective roles of Ghost and Tommy.

Unlike the previous spinoffs, which have had ten episodes each, Power: Origins will have 18 episodes in season 1. The announcement comes as the show adds six recurring stars to the cast and with filming taking place in New Jersey.

The new cast members are Jason Dirden (Raising Kanan) as Traymond Stinson, Jennifer Ferrin (The Blacklist) as Tommy's mother Kate Egan, Lizzy DeClement (New Amsterdam) as nurse Jill Wexler, Lenny Platt (The Hot Zone) as finance bro Lenny Seidel, Armani Gabriel (Blue Bloods) as foot soldier J-Boogs, and Everett Osborne (Sweetwater) as professional football player Omay Moreau.

With Raising Kanan being another Power show, Dirden is reprising the role of Traymont from that series. Traymont betrayed the Thomas family after previously being one of their trusted associates.
