49 free Power (TV Series) trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Power ran on Starz from 2014 to 2020 and became one of the network's most-watched dramas: a New York nightclub owner, James 'Ghost' St. Patrick, trying to leave the drug trade while the prosecutor he loves is building a case against him. It spawned a whole universe of spin-offs, from Tariq's college-age sequel to the 1990s prequel for Kanan and Tommy Egan's move to a new city. These 49 questions cover all of it: Ghost, Tommy, Tasha, Angela and Kanan, the assassins, moles and lawyers of the first six seasons, the creator and 50 Cent's roles on and off screen, the opening theme and its infamous remix, the suspects in the final-season whodunnit, and the casts and premises of Book II, Raising Kanan and Force, plus the prequel now in production. It suits a fan night, a pub round or a long group chat argument. Play it on your phone with instant answers and explanations, or print it for the table.
