'Power Book II: Ghost' Season 4: Release date, cast, trailer, where to watch new episodes

"Power Book II: Ghost," the beloved Starz's crime drama executive produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, returns to our TV screens for its fourth and final season this week just in time for summer.

Earlier this year, fans took to social media to express their disappointment after the network announced that the show was ending.

Michael Rainey Jr., who has portrayed Tariq St. Patrick for ten years since the original "Power" series, says the show's ending is bittersweet.

"It's been a long, legendary run," the actor said in a recent interview on the popular radio show "The Breakfast Club". "God's timing is everything. Everything got to come to an end. I feel like it just time to step into the next chapter of my career."

During an appearance on "The Tamron Hall Show," Rainey said they are going out "with a bang."
