After Power Book II: Ghost finished its first season, fans questioned Tariq St. Patrick’s fate. He just killed Professor Jabari Reynolds, which will generate a “big response” to the school.
There are some concerns that law enforcement is focused on the wrong person. A new theory says that Zeke Cross could be implicated in the murder. From the tailor that was released for Season 2 Power Book II: Ghost.
Jabari’s murder has been covered up. But actor Justin McManus (Jabari Reynolds) has already said that there may be evidence that suggests a criminal act.
Power creator and showrunner Courtney Kemp teased some of the details about season two, sharing with Entertainment Weekly that there will be a “big reaction” to death at Stansfield University.
“Where we had begun an encroachment of [Tariq’s] drug life into his school life with the incidents that took place in episode 8 with the attempt on his life and the body in the pool, now his whole drug life is crashed into his campus life in a real way,” she said.
“And Tariq definitely feels like he’s walking around as a ticking time bomb. His relationships are going to get more complicated, and while that’s all happening, he’s still got a love life,” she added.
Speaking of Tariq, he is played by Michael Rainey Jr, and he was on Instagram Live on Tuesday afternoon. He was asked about the three women in Tariq’s life during the session.
“Effie, Diana, or Lauren? All three, Tariq gotta share the Lov”.”
