Mary J. Blige is set to star in Starz' upcoming extension of its flagship show, 'Power,' according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The series, titled 'Power Book II: Ghost,' is in pre-production, according to its creator Courtney Kemp. Kemp said that the show will "continue THE JOURNEY of some of Power's most controversial characters."

Power is executive produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, and tells the story of James St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), a ruthless drug-dealer under the nickname "Ghost", who wishes to leave the criminal world in order to support his legitimate business interests as a nightclub owner. James aims to balance these two lives, while avoiding police capture, and looks to resolve his personal life as his marriage crumbles.
