Power Book II: Ghost has just launched its second season. The series follows college student Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr.). Following his father’s death, Tariq attempts to juggle his life in school with his role as a drug dealer for the Tejada crime family.

Unfortunately, Tariq is having trouble keeping his two lives separate and as season 2 presses forward things appear to be on the verge of imploding. In fact, Power Universe creator Courtney Kemp says that fans should expect some very dramatic deaths this season.

‘Power Book II: Ghost’: Season 2 is going to be extremely dramatic

Two episodes in, the second season of Power Book II: Ghost is already a whirlwind. Amid the death of Professor Jabari Reynolds (Justin McManus), Tariq’s life as a drug dealer is beginning to interfere with his life as a college student. Things are only set to get more dramatic from here.

 “In the second season, Tariq’s journey with the Tejada family will get even more complicated — and more dangerous — as he begins to understand the man he’s going to become,” Power Universe creator Kemp told TV Line.

This season is also tackling ethics, which Tariq is studying in his Canonical Studies class.

‘Power Book II: Ghost’: Fans Believe Monet and Ghost Have a Secret Daughter

Fans are convinced Tariq will kill Monet and Lorenzo Tejada

Though Kemp did not spill the beans about who is going to die this season, fans have their own ideas. In fact, some believe that Tariq will kill Monet and Lorenzo to take over their empire. A Reddit user believes Tariq will use Ghost’s killing of Breeze and his set up of Kanan as a blueprint to take over the Tejadas’ business.

“As for Tariq, even though his dumba** choose to enter the game through will and manipulation, I feel that he will want out the game toward the end of Power and he will have to take out Monet and Lorenzo Tejada to do that since they basically own him and he’s their main moneymaker right now,” they speculated via Express.

While we don’t necessarily think the Tejada matriarch and patriarch’s lives are on the line, some other characters including Dru (Lovell Adams-Gray) and Zeke (Daniel Bellomy) seem to be more obvious choices.
