Omari Hardwick, who portrayed James “Ghost” St. Patrick in Starz’s original Power series, is listed by IMDb as appearing in Episode 10 of Power Book IV: Force, a credit that has sparked renewed speculation among fans of the franchise.
Ghost was killed in the final season of Power, a moment that served as a cornerstone for the spinoff universe that followed, including Ghost, Raising Kanan and Force. Starz and series creator Courtney A. Kemp have repeatedly stated that the character’s death is canon, making any potential appearance notable.
IMDb credits for unaired episodes, however, are not always definitive. The database allows submissions based on early production information, and listings are frequently updated once episodes air. In similar cases, actors have been credited for flashbacks, archival footage or scenes that were ultimately cut from the final broadcast.
Hardwick has not publicly commented on the listing, and Starz has made no official announcement regarding his involvement in Force. Representatives for the network did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
If Hardwick does appear, it would most likely be in a limited capacity, such as a flashback or a brief archival moment, rather than a return of Ghost as a living character. The Power franchise has previously used flashbacks and memory sequences to deepen character arcs without altering established storylines.
Until Episode 10 airs, the IMDb credit should be viewed as unconfirmed. Historically, casting information for future episodes has been revised after broadcast to reflect final on-screen appearances.
For now, the listing has added intrigue ahead of the season’s conclusion, leaving viewers to watch closely for any sign of Ghost’s presence — even if only from the past.
