EXCLUSIVE:<\/strong> The first of many Power<\/em> spinoffs is set to debut in September<\/a> and a lot of the Courtney Kemp<\/a>-created series is still under lock and key. However, today we have more of sense as to who the new players will be and who they will be working for.<\/p>\n

Coming off a shapeshifted role on the first season of Netflix’s Locke & Key<\/a><\/em>, Sherri Saum<\/a> has joined Power Book II: Ghost<\/a><\/em> for its first season, I’ve learned.<\/p>\n

The Fosters<\/em> alum will play Paula Matarazzo on the Mary J. Blige, Michael Rainey Jr, Naturi Naughton and Cliff ‘Method Man’ Smith-led Ghost.<\/p>\n

Picking up not long after the fatal and incarcerating February 9 airing conclusion<\/a> of the sixth and final season of Power<\/em>, Saum’s Matarazzo is the top investigator and right-hand of Smith’s arrogant defense lawyer Davis MacLean. All of which means the hard-driven ex-law enforcement character could prove a major player in this expansion of Kemp’s franchise on Starz<\/a> – especially as MacLean may be instrumental (or not) in getting Naughton’s Tasha St. Patrick out of jail for the supposed murder of her husband, one James St, Patrick\/Ghost.<\/p>\n

Having started out on soap Sunset Beach<\/em> back in the late 1990s, and snagged a Daytime Emmy nomination in the process, before moving on to One Life to Live<\/em>, Saum in more recent years was one of the leads with Terri Polo on five seasons of Freeform’s extended family drama The Fosters<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Peter Paige and Bradley Bredeweg-created show ended in 2018, but the actor also made appearances on spinoff Good Trouble<\/em>. Additionally, Saum has had recurring roles on Roswell, New Mexico<\/em> and Limetown<\/em>, as well as the Netflix supernatural drama based on Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez.<\/p>\n

Executive produced by series creator and showrunner Kemp through her company End of Episode, and Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson through his G-Unit Film and Television, Ghost<\/em> also stars Power<\/em> alum Shane Johnson once again as federal prosecutor Cooper Saxe.<\/p>\n

Besides Ghost<\/em>, fellow Power<\/em> spinoffs in the works for Starz include<\/a> Power Book III: Raising Kanan<\/em> and the Empire State politics of Power Book IV: Influence<\/em>. There is also Power Book V: Force<\/em>, which sees mothership show vet Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) out of the Big Apple and now up to no good in the City of Angels.<\/p>\n

Sherri Saum is repped by A3 Artists Agency<\/a> and manager Warren Binder.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
