Some shows spend years being the thing everybody else already watched. Then one Monday they land on a new service, a whole second audience walks in, and somebody asks the question that sells a show better than any trailer: wait, what is this?

That is the week Power is having. All six seasons of the Starz crime drama, 63 episodes in all, began streaming on Netflix in the U.S. on Monday, Nov. 9, 2026. If you came here asking whether it is really on Netflix, whether the spinoffs came along and how much of your life it will take, the short answer is above and the long one is below.

A note on what this is. I have not watched all 63 episodes for this story, so it is not a review. It is a guide built from the deal announcements, the reporting around them and the public record of the series. Wherever I give a plan, a verdict or an opinion, I say so.

Spoiler policy. I only describe the premise. Nothing here gives away what happens to anyone.

What to Know

  • All six seasons of Power, 63 episodes in all, began streaming on Netflix in the U.S. on Nov. 9, 2026. The show also stays on Starz.
  • In the U.S., only the original series moved. Ghost, Raising Kanan and Force remain on Starz there. Outside the U.S., Netflix’s deal covers them too, with dates that vary by market and Canada left out.
  • At roughly 50 minutes an episode, the full run is about 52 hours.
  • My plan: three episodes a night for three weeks, with season 1 as an eight-episode audition.
  • My take: the smartest thing about this deal is that it sends new viewers to the beginning.

What exactly landed on Netflix?

Netflix announced the move on July 27, 2026, saying the series would premiere on the service in November. The deal comes from Lionsgate Television, which ComingSoon describes as a non-exclusive arrangement. That is why Power now lives on both Netflix and Starz in the U.S., as TheWrap put it when the news broke.

If you are new to it, here is the background. Power was created by Courtney A. Kemp, with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as an executive producer. It premiered on Starz in 2014 and wrapped its six-season run in 2020. For much of the streaming era its subscription home outside Starz was Hulu, where What’s on Netflix says it had been licensed since 2017. That arrangement ended with the Netflix move.

Is the whole Power universe on Netflix?

This is where people get tripped up, so I will be blunt. In the U.S., no. Only the original series came over. Here is where each piece lives, based on the deal reporting.

Why is Canada missing? What’s on Netflix reports that it is excluded from the international rollout because the franchise already streams there on Starz through Bell Media.

My take

If you are in the U.S. and only want the flagship, Netflix is all you need. The moment you want a spinoff, you need Starz. That is not a complaint, just the sticker you should read before you promise a friend “the whole universe.”

How long does Power take to watch?

Season 1 has eight episodes, seasons 2 through 5 have ten each, and the sixth and final season has fifteen, per TV Insider. That adds up to 63. A CompareTV listing shows episodes of about 50 minutes, so the full run comes to roughly 52 and a half hours. That is a rounded figure, not a stopwatch count.

Here is what that looks like at three paces, using my own arithmetic.

2 a night32 nightsAbout 4½ weeks, roughly 1 hour 40 minutes a night.
3 a night · my pick21 nightsExactly three weeks, roughly 2 hours 30 minutes a night.
4 a night16 nightsA little over two weeks, roughly 3 hours 20 minutes a night.

What is Power about, without spoilers?

James “Ghost” St. Patrick, played by Omari Hardwick, runs a nightclub in New York and wants out of the drug trade that built his life. The trouble is that his past keeps showing up at the door. That tug between the man he wants to be and the one he has been is the engine of the whole series.

Around him are Joseph Sikora as Tommy Egan, Naturi Naughton as Tasha St. Patrick, Lela Loren as Angela Valdes and 50 Cent as Kanan Stark. Collider’s November binge list called it the most exciting arrival of the month and listed it at 81% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.1 on IMDb.

FandomWire pitched it as a rival to Breaking Bad because both are about a man living two lives. As a hook, I get it. But I would rather judge a show by whether it earns the next 60 hours than by its famous cousin.

My three-week plan

This is my plan, not a rule, and it is built from the episode counts above. Three episodes a night, seven nights a week.

Week 1 · episodes 1 to 21Season 1, season 2 and the first three of season 3

Eight plus ten plus three. Treat season 1 as an audition. My rule: if you feel no pull by the middle of it, you have your answer and you only lost four episodes.

Week 2 · episodes 22 to 42The last seven of season 3, all of season 4 and the first four of season 5

Seven plus ten plus four. By now you are either in or out, and the middle stretch is where a long show tends to prove which.

Week 3 · episodes 43 to 63The last six of season 5 and all fifteen of the final season

Six plus fifteen. The last season is the longest, so I would save the weekend for it.

What I think the deal really means

Here is my read, and it is an opinion. A non-exclusive deal that moves only the first show means Netflix gets a big, finished library title that works as a front door, while Starz keeps the spinoffs and the new shows as the reason to stay. Nobody gives up the house. Everybody opens a window.

There is a fair counterargument. Some will say putting the flagship on a bigger platform risks sending Starz subscribers out the door. I understand the worry. But the deal’s shape, with the original on both services and the rest still on Starz in the U.S., looks designed to turn Netflix viewers into curious Starz customers, not the reverse. That part is my interpretation, not something either company has said.

The best outcome for viewers is simple. More people start at the beginning, and a show that ended in 2020 gets a second life.

My verdict

Start it now if

  • You like slow-burn crime dramas about people who cannot outrun their past.
  • You want a long show with a real ending, since there is no season 7.
  • You are fine with Netflix being the only service you need for the flagship.

Hold off if

  • You want the spinoffs too and do not have Starz.
  • You need a short commitment. This is about 52 hours.
  • You are in Canada, where the international Netflix rollout does not apply.

My verdict: start it, and give season 1 its eight episodes before you decide anything. A show that has lasted this long on streaming has earned an audition. It has not earned your next three weeks until it wins one.

Quick answers people are searching for

Is Power on Netflix?

Yes. All six seasons began streaming on Netflix in the U.S. on Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, per What’s on Netflix and TV Insider. The show also remains on Starz, which TheWrap reported when the deal was announced.

How many episodes does Power have?

63 across six seasons. Season 1 has eight episodes, seasons 2 through 5 have ten each and the sixth and final season has fifteen, per TV Insider.

Where was Power streaming before Netflix?

On Starz, where it premiered in 2014, and on Hulu, where What’s on Netflix says it had been licensed since 2017 until the Netflix move.

Are Ghost, Raising Kanan and Force on Netflix in the U.S.?

No. In the U.S. only the original Power series moved to Netflix, and Starz remains the exclusive U.S. streaming home for the spinoffs, per What’s on Netflix.

Are the spinoffs on Netflix outside the U.S.?

Netflix’s international rollout covers Power, Power Book II: Ghost (four seasons), Power Book III: Raising Kanan (five seasons) and Power Book IV: Force (three seasons), beginning in November with dates that vary by market. Canada is excluded, per What’s on Netflix.

How long does it take to watch all of Power?

About 52 hours. A CompareTV listing shows episodes of roughly 50 minutes, and 63 episodes at that length come to about 52 and a half hours. That is a rounded estimate, not a stopwatch count.

Who created Power and who stars in it?

Courtney A. Kemp created it, with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as an executive producer. Omari Hardwick plays James “Ghost” St. Patrick, Joseph Sikora plays Tommy Egan, Naturi Naughton plays Tasha St. Patrick, Lela Loren plays Angela Valdes and 50 Cent plays Kanan Stark.

Will there be a Power season 7?

No. TV Insider reports that the series will not get a seventh season, though 50 Cent said in 2017 that he had originally planned seven.

Are there new Power shows coming?

Starz is developing Power: Origins, a prequel about Ghost and Tommy, and Power: Legacy, which follows Tommy after Force alongside Ghost’s son Tariq, per Collider. Neither is part of the Netflix deal.

Should I watch Power before the spinoffs?

That is my advice, and it is an opinion. The spinoffs are built from the characters and world of the original show, and the upcoming prequel Origins goes back to Ghost and Tommy, so the original is the natural front door.
