Power follows the tale of James “ghost” St. Patrick as he struggles to transition from drug dealing to being a legitimate nightclub owner. After five critically acclaimed seasons that left Starz audiences ravings, Power is back with a sixth on Sunday. Whether you plan on jumping right into the sixth season or binging the first five in preparation, we’ve got you covered.
In the tragic season 5 closer, Ghost saw one of his closest allies betray him. As Power enters its sixth and final season, all of Ghosts’ enemies are closing in on him, including the Justice Department, underworld enemies, and even members of his own family. Will he finally go legitimate or will his empire crumble like the many Ozymandiases before him? The only thing for certain is that not everyone is going to make it out alive before it’s all over.
Here’s everything you need to know about watching the sixth season of Power.

How to stream Power season 6
1) Hulu and Hulu with Live TV
- Cost: $5.99 to $54.99 per month for Hulu or Hulu with Live TV | $8.99 per month for Starz
- Hulu devices: Roku, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire Stick and Fire TV, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, and iOS and Android devices
Hulu‘s basic service has all five seasons of Power available to stream on-demand. At just $7.99 per month (or $4 more per month to watch hulu commercial-free), it’s one of the best ways to watch Power online. But when it comes to new episodes, you’ll want to add Starz as a premium channel to Hulu with Live TV, which offers more than 50 channels for $40 per month and includes a free Hulu account. Even better: You can preview Starz for a full month before you’ll be charged.
2) Sling TV
- Cost: $30 to $45 per month (10$ off first month) for Sling TV | $9 per month for Starz
- Sling TV devices: Amazon Fire TVs, Android Fire Stick, Apple TV, Android TV, Roku, Xbox One, Google Chromecast, Oculus Go, and iOS and Android devices
Sling TV is split up between two packages, so you can choose whether to pay $25 per month for a single package or double up for $40. Either way, the Starz add-on—and thus a Power live stream—will cost an additional $9 per month. If premium channels are your thing, Sling has plenty to pick from at competitive prices. (Here’s the complete guide to Sling TV channels.)
3) Starz app
- Cost: $8.99 per month
- Devices: iOS, Android, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Mac, PC, Apple TV, Android TV, Fire Stick, Xbox One, Xbox One S, select Samsung Smart TVs
The Starz app is the cheapest and most direct way to stream Power. Not only do you get every current and previous episode of Power, but you’ll also get access to any other Starz show, like Outlander and American Gods, plus Starz’ lineup of current popular films.

If you already have a Prime subscription, Amazon Prime Video is an easy way to add Starz to your viewing lineup. You’ll also get access to all previous seasons of Power (and any other Starz show), so you’ll have no trouble catching up. If you don’t feel like subscribing to a monthly service, or you just want to try the series, you can buy individual episodes for $2.99 a pop. Only seasons 2 ($9.99) and 5 ($19.99) are available for purchase, and not every season will let you buy all individual episodes.
