EXCLUSIVE: Peabody Award-winning producer, showrunner, and writer Gary Lennon (Power Book IV: Force, Hightown) is developing the new crime drama Los Feliz at Starz.
Los Feliz is an emotional high-stakes crime drama about an affair that destroys friendships, marriages, and careers – ultimately leading to a murder case that divides a community and destroys them all. If the lies don’t kill them, the truth will.
The series is set in the Los Angeles neighborhood of the same name near Hollywood. All 8 episodes are currently being written by Lennon.
Also for Starz, Lennon has been in development on the new “Power” Universe spinoff series Power: Legacy (working title) since last June. He continues to work on that project simultaneously with Los Feliz, as Power: Legacy is still in the development phase.
When/If Legacy gets ordered to series, it would push the present timeline story ahead that ended with the series finale of Power Book IV: Force and would join Power: Origins, a Power prequel from Sascha Penn, on the network’s slate. Lennon was the showrunner, writer, director, and executive producer of Force, led by Joseph Sikora, who is expected to lead Legacy alongside Power Book II: Ghost lead Michael Rainey Jr. Additionally, Lennon served as co-showrunner on the final season of the mothership Power series and executive producer of the series.
In 2024, Lennon extended his deal with Lionsgate Television, the studio behind the Power franchise, created by Courtney A. Kemp. Under said deal, he will continue to work with Lionsgate Television and Starz on development opportunities to expand the Power Universe
Outside of that franchise, he executive produces on the hit HBO series Euphoria, Starz’s P-Valley and Hightown, as well as the hit Netflix series Orange Is the New Black. Lennon received Peabody Awards for his work as a producer on FX’s Justified and Orange Is the New Black. He also won two NAACP Image Awards for the original Power series.
