The cast and crew of the Starz drama Power filmed their final episode earlier this week, and they took to the ‘gram to give emotional farewells and pause to say thank you.
Starz announced back in May that the hit series, which stars ESSENCE cover star Omari Hardwick, Naturi Naughton and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, will come to a close with its sixth season aptly called “The Final Betrayal.” As Starz’s most most-watched and highest-rated show, the series averaged 10 million viewers per episode across platforms.
Check out what Hardwick, Naughton, Lela Loren, La La Anthony, and Larenz Tate had to see about ending the show, and behind-the-scenes photos of the cast on set.
The sixth and final season will premiere on August 25.
