Power Book II: Ghost is set to wrap up by releasing its final five episodes, with the show returning to TV screens on Friday. Its mid-season finale left things on a cliffhanger with Detective Carter inching closer to the Tejadas' operation and baby Tejada on the way.
The Starz crime drama features Michael Rainey Jr. as Tariq St. Patrick, son of James St. Patrick -- aka Ghost -- a drug lord and businessman. Tariq kills his father in the first series, only to morph into a version of his father who also lives a duality: Ivy League college student and narcotics dealer. For three seasons, viewers have watched him try to earn his inheritance by completing school, only to plunge himself into a life of crime. He's essentially Ghost 2.0.
Broken into two parts, season 4 is capping things off for this part of Tariq St. Patrick's journey, taking viewers along for the ride through the series finale. No one's survival is guaranteed, so fans should tune in to see how things roll for Tariq, Effie, Cane, McClean, Monet, Diana and Brayden.
Check out our interviews with stars Michael Rainey Jr. and Alix Lapri about this season, and make sure to keep up with all the action, drama and shaky alliances by following our guide to watching Power Book II: Ghost season 4 from anywhere.

How to watch 'Power Book II: Ghost' with a VPN
Maybe you're traveling abroad and want to stream Starz while away from home. With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to TV shows and movies from anywhere in the world. There are other good reasons to use a VPN for streaming, too.
A VPN is the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds by encrypting your traffic. Using a VPN is also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. Streaming TV can be a bit smoother with a reliable, quality VPN that's passed our tests and security standards.
You can use a VPN to stream content legally as long as VPNs are legal in your country and you have a valid subscription to the streaming service you're using. The US and Canada are among the countries where VPNs are legal, but we advise against streaming or downloading content on illegal torrent sites. We recommend ExpressVPN, but you may opt for another provider from our best list, such as Surfshark or NordVPN.
ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month. But you can save 49%, plus get three months of access for free -- the equivalent of $6.67 a month -- if you get an annual subscription. Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Follow the VPN provider's instructions for installation and choose a country where Power Book II: Ghost will be streaming on Starz. Before you open the streaming app, make sure you're connected to your VPN using your selected region. If you want to stream the series on more than one device, it's possible you'll need to configure each one to ensure you're signed in. Go to settings and check your network connections to verify you're logged in and connected to your VPN account. Now, you're ready to open Starz to stream.
If you run into issues with streaming, make sure your VPN is up and running on its encrypted IP address. Double-check that you've followed installation instructions correctly and picked the right geographical area for viewing. If you still encounter connection problems, you may need to reboot your device. Close all apps and windows, restart your device and connect to your VPN first. Note that some streaming services will restrict VPN access.
