Power Book IV: Force (2022)

Tommy Egan leaves New York behind and plans to take on Chicago, using his outsider status to break all the local rules and rewrite them on his quest to become the biggest drug dealer in the city.

Real Chicago Influence: Joseph Sikora, who plays Tommy Egan, is a Chicago native and brought his personal understanding of the city to the show, influencing how "Force" looked and felt by ensuring authenticity in the portrayal of neighborhoods and characters.
COVID-19 Challenges: Filming during the height of the pandemic presented unique challenges, with cast and crew operating in a strict bubble, limiting their ability to explore Chicago beyond their immediate work environment.
Multiple Endings Filmed: To prevent finale leaks, showrunner Gary Lennon revealed that multiple endings were filmed for the series finale, keeping everyone, including the cast, guessing about the ultimate outcome. This also allowed the writers to experiment with different tones for the show's final vibe.
Tommy's Style: During filming, Kris D. Lofton, who plays Jenard Sampson, observed Joseph Sikora's portrayal of Tommy Egan so closely that he began to borrow a "Tommy stance" for his own character.
Chicago as a Character: The location manager for "Power Book IV: Force" emphasized making Chicago more than just a backdrop, weaving it into the fabric of the show by including specific details and areas in each neighborhood. Transitions between scenes often featured images specific to each neighborhood, recognizable mainly to locals.
