Last month, during an Instagram Live session, showrunner Courtney Kemp didn’t rule out the possibility of a spin-off with Tommy and Ghost during their teenage years. In the past, she shut the idea down but now has taken a “u-turn” on the thought. There’s also four more Power spin-offs heading our way, plus, 50 Cent has eight shows total in the works.
