Power
James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick) seems to have it all: a spectacular Manhattan mansion, a lovely wife, and the authority and prosperity that come with running the trendiest new nightclub Truth. Upon closer inspection, however, it is revealed Ghost is leading a second life. When Ghost isn’t taking care of his Fortune 500 company, he’s taking care of the customers of another enterprise: a drug monopoly that exclusively caters to the wealthy and powerful. Ghost’s new reality is utilizing Truth as more than just a cover to launder money, even while devoted sidekick Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) defends the cash-cow drug operation at all costs. Even if everything he cares about is unintentionally jeopardized, it’s a way for him to leave the drug trade and transition into a normal life with his family. Stream Power on Lionsgate Play here!
Ramy
Ramy Hassan (Ramy Youssef), a first-generation Egyptian-American, is on a spiritual quest in his politically polarized New Jersey neighborhood. He’s forced to choose between the Muslim community, which views life as a moral test, and the millennial generation, which considers there to be no hereafter—all while he continues to try to date and engage in other activities typical of 20-somethings despite everything. In essence, he is a man who struggles with the decision of whether to pray in a mosque or attend parties on Friday evenings. Which side will prevail in this conflict that seems to go on forever? Find out by streaming Ramy on Lionsgate Play here.
Spartacus
Spartacus is sold into slavery and sent to the deadly gladiator’s arena in Rome after being uprooted from his own country and separated from the lady he loves. He learns as he makes his way through the vicious and deadly world that not all conflicts are fought in the ring; and that, in order to live, he must resist temptation and betrayal. This Spartacus retelling, however, is not appropriate for younger audiences since it is filled with blood, violence, and sex. Stream Spartacus on Lionsgate Play here!
