‘Power Book IV: Force’: Jeremih Joins Starz Series As Recurring

Grammy-nominated artist Jeremih (Jeremy P. Felton) is set for a recurring role opposite Joseph Sikora in Power Book IV: Force, the third installment in the Power universe, from Courtney Kemp, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Lionsgate Television.

Power Book IV: Force centers around Tommy Egan, played by Sikora, after he cuts ties and puts New York in his rearview mirror for good. Kemp and Jackson will executive produce alongside Mark Canton, and series creator and showrunner Robert Munic (Vital Signs, The Cleaner). Lionsgate Television produces the series for Starz.

Jeremih will play Elijah, a high-ranking member of CBI who knows how the drug game is played and isn’t afraid to bend the rules. As the closest ally of Jenard Sampson (Kris D. Lofton), there’s nothing he won’t do to prove his loyalty to both the Sampson brothers.
