However, Jackson did add that he’s involved with four spinoffs from the series. Season 6 will feature 50 Cent’s directorial debut, and will also see the return of Emmy award-winning director Anthony Hemingway, who directed the show’s first two episodes back in 2014. “The last 5 seasons of Power have been an incredible ride for me and all of our supportive fans. We are far from over and I am excited to bring you more from the Power brand,” Jackson wrote in a statement released Thursday. “I am proud that I was able to put a lasting stamp on this chapter with my directorial debut in an episode that features one of the wildest scenes ever on the show.” Kwaku Alston Power Crew Member, 63, Dies After Being Struck by SUV on Location of Starz Series Two of the show’s stars provided their own brief Instagram statements on Power‘s final season.
