50 Cent’s “Power” Season 3 Premiere Was Starz’s Most-Watched Show Ever

    50 Cent’s “Power” stays breaking records. The Season 3 premiere is officially Starz’s most-watched episode of an original series ever, Deadline reports.

    The show pulled in 2.2 million viewers in its first time being aired on a Sunday night instead of Saturday. Across the first showing and two replays, the episode was seen by 3.37 million people.

    After the Season 2 premiere of “Power” brought in 1.43 million pairs of eyes and set a new mark for most viewers on the network, the program was quickly granted a third season.

    That record was barely surpassed in April when the Season 2 premiere of Outlander had 1.46 million viewers.

    Season 3 of “Power” is set for 10 episodes. 50 Cent serves as executive producer for the show and stars as Kanan, a rival to the main character James St. Patrick, played by Omari Hardwick. St. Patrick goes by the street name “Ghost” as he runs a drug ring in New York while balancing his career as a nightclub owner. The third season’s tagline is “Ghost Must Die” as St. Patrick tries to escape his drug-dealing past, but he can’t let go completely and many of his foes put threats on his life.

    L.A. rapper Dumbfoundead appeared in the Season 3 premiere and is slated to appear in the first four episodes of the new season.

    “Power” airs at 9 p.m. EST Sundays on Starz.

    1. Which 50 song is being played during the credits? ??? Man I cant find 1 answer on google..wtf… I watched it on replay and the credits get cut off after like 10 seconds… HELPPPPP

    2. It’s actually a pretty badass show lol, empire is like the urban Glee. Power is where it’s at, give 50 his and quit sippin on the haterade W lol

    3. Mush… Big Rich Town…Is the song played at the end of the show during the credits?? I know its the that song is the Introduction… but it sounded like a diff 50 song at the end when the credits were rollin..

    4. Yea that Drama Never End song hard I heard it a few months back. Still knocks. I gotta go back and check out the first two seasons

    5. Ohhh.. That song from the south paw soundtrack… LIKE REALLY???? Come on Fif … You couldnt have put toegther a new song that actually sounds good? I fuckin hate that song lol His flow is mad boring.. < I hate every song he flow like that… Stop!!! It sounds like hes trying to hard or somthing… That I'm The Man flow… thats the fire flow.

    6. Black shows in general are boring. If they can come out with more diverse or compelling material, I’d watch black shows.

      1. There were plenty of compelling black shows but the powers that be only want to see black ppl depicted negatively. The few ones that do show black ppl in a positive light nowadays are never watched.

    7. 50 stays winning !! Power best show out period .. 3.4 milli one show those are big numbers bottom line.

    8. These be a goodd shoe eme like be 50;but cast is likeni go me onstarz itsee atntunnel hhad to paybutbahow it worth me fav dono can’twait I’ll tew these shoe is bestes

    9. Honestly, this is the only show on Starz that tells me to keep this network on my cable bill. That and Survivors’ Remorse. While they do have good movies content, they have lacked in original show content in the past 4 – 5 years. This comes to show you can have a majority black cast, it’s just have to be good and authentic. What networks do not get is you have to be realistic about the storylines. Not everybody wants “Empire” show because that feels like a soap opera. Sometimes we, as the audience need something concrete, simple, and something we all come to common ground with.
