Thirteen years ago, Sikora started work on Starz's Power, a crime drama from creator Courtney A. Kemp and producer 50 Cent. While the series centered on the suave and intelligent drug distributor/club owner Ghost (Omari Hardwick), it was Ghost's hot-tempered, street-wise partner Tommy Egan (Sikora), who quickly emerged as the fan favorite. Power eventually became a juggernaut for Starz, so much so that it has spawned four spinoffs and counting since wrapping its six-season run.

With no fences mended, Tommy then headed for Chicago, marking the launch of Force in 2022. Tommy built a life and empire for himself in the Windy City, learning that he has a brother and nephew, and finding romance with Mireya (Carmela Zumbado), who is now carrying his child. But Tommy's rise to the top of the Chicago drug game earned him plenty of enemies. Late in the third and final season, Tommy's brother JP (Anthony Fleming) was killed by Jenard (Kris D. Lofton), and Tommy's payback mission then resulted in the death of Diamond (Isaac Keys), Tommy's former associate and Jenard's brother. Released on Friday, the Force series finale, "Beginning of the End," doesn't settle all scores, leaving open the door for an unconfirmed spinoff that would continue Tommy's story. But the war over Chicago's streets is won by Tommy when the cartels come to a truce and Jenard loses his support. Surprisingly, Jenard is left alive, and he's last seen being reunited with Vic (Shane Harper), as the unexpected bedfellows come together for one purpose: "Let's take Tommy F***ing Egan down." Mireya escapes the violence by running off to Mexico, telling Tommy to find their child when he's ready. But Tommy has another family member back in his life when he calls Tariq for backup. This possibility was first teased in the post-credits scene of Ghost's 2024 series finale. Once Tariq has helped Tommy rule Chicago, Force signs off with the Power OGs settling their past issues, as well as Tariq sharing a proposition. "The Uncle Tommy I know loves a f***ing challenge," says Tariq, who wants him to return to New York so that they can be partners in crime. "You told me that, if you ain't pushing, you're falling.... I'm talking legacy." Tommy is intrigued by the idea of his kid growing up on his streets. "Sounds beautiful, doesn't it?" Tariq adds. "So whatchu say, we start some new shit or what?" Just then, the original Power theme song, "Big Rich Town" from 50 Cent and Joe, begins playing, and Tommy and Tariq both smile. While neither Starz nor Sikora will yet confirm, the final scene of Force only further fuels the reports of a new series from Force showrunner and Tommy whisperer Gary Lennon - Power: Legacy, which would follow Tommy and Tariq's partnership. "If and where there is another chapter, what infrastructure will we have left," Sikora teases, "if Gary Lennon is writing it, I want to play it. I think it could be so much fun to see something with Tommy and Tariq. There's so much disaster, destruction and expansion that could happen with the relationship between those two." Below in a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, Sikora breaks down the end of Force, suggests what could be next and explains why "being recognized by the culture" means more to him than anything. *** Here we are, once again, talking about a Power series finale. You've been A1 since day one, so I gotta give you some love. You and I talked before we started the season, and I told you that I wanted to know what you thought, because I'm so proud of this season. I think you guys did a great job ramping up in the last couple episodes. Episodes eight, nine and 10, it's like, wow! One of my favorite things was the fight with Diamond, because Tommy tries to run away. He's like, "Nah, fuck that, I'm not dying on this hill. I'll come back." Most times you see the hero/antihero has to have the upper-hand guy, and I was like, "No, not there." If those guys didn't save Tommy, he would have got his ass handed to him, and maybe even been beaten to death. We had a lot of these "wow" moments. I don't think people saw Diamond's death coming. You had warned me that people needed to die this seaso
