How to watch Power Book IV: Force season 2 — stream the crime drama online

We pick back up with Tommy Egan in Power Book IV: Force season 2, as this spin-off of Power focuses on the drug dealer.

After the events of Power and Power Book II: Ghost, Book IV: Force follows Tommy as he relocates to Chicago and sets up a base of operations there. He creates new connections, revives old ones and even slows down to understand more about his family.

With the ending to season 1 raising the stakes for Tommy and giving him a fresh new motivation, Force season 2 sees him embark on a new war path.

As that synopsis suggests, having watched Power and its first spin-off (though not Book III: Raising Kanan) is pretty important for understanding this show. So in this guide on how to watch Power Book IV: Force season 2, we'll also help you figure out how to watch the previous seasons.

Power Book IV: Force season 2 is available to watch starting Friday, September 1, with the first episode added to the Starz streaming app at midnight. 

Starz costs $8.99 per month or $74.99 per year, but there's currently a limited-time offer that you can find here, which lets new subscribers pay just $3 for their first three months. Force season 2 will finish in this time, so the timing is perfect.

Starz is also available as a channel for Prime Video, Apple TV and The Roku Channel, and these all cost the same amount (other than the deal). You can use the streamer to watch every previous episode of Force too, if you need to catch up.

If you don't have a cable subscription that includes Starz, then you can use Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV and FuboTV, though on some it's part of various add-on packages.
