DEADLINE: After the two-season pick-up you got for Power in July last year, this years finale and the colliding direction of Season 5, the question is if there is a lot power left in Power or are you thinking of pulling the plug?
KEMP: Thats up to STARZ, but you know, I think I would like to make some really big moves. The plan is to make some huge moves and some huge cast changes in Season 5, for sure. So the show, at the very least, is going to transform into something slightly different as we go forward.
DEADLINE: A big death is in the offering for Season 5?
KEMP: Look, no ones been safe on our show for quite some time, but obviously, the main characters have had longer lives. We are reaching the end of this journey, so the main characters are less safe than they have ever been before.
So, of course, it can get worse, because no ones been caught for anything yet. You know, theres always another way that things can go badly on Power, but then also there might be some great joy and some great success. People might come out ahead. I dont know. Maybe two of our characters are going to fall back in love. Who knows?
DEADLINE: And, with that tease, how about you, are you thinking of handing over the showrunning reigns after Season 5?
KEMP: I would love to hand Power over fully, but I think if were not going to do too many more seasons, its probably best for me to stay on and finish what I started.
