Power Book IV: Force has been dropping new episodes week by week since early November 2025. If you are waiting on Episode 9, a.k.a. War Requiem, mark your calendar for January 2, 2026, in the U.S.

If you have access to the Starz app, you can usually start watching right at midnight Eastern Time on release day. If you prefer watching on actual Starz TV, they usually air it later that same night, usually around 8 p.m. ET.

So, where can you actually stream it? The Starz app is ground zero, but you have other options, too. There’s the Starz Roku Premium Channel, Starz on Amazon, Apple TV, or even Philo. If it streams and it has Starz, you are good to go.

Heads up: you need an active Starz subscription. In the U.S., it’s about $10.99 a month if you are signing up directly. If you are already paying for Hulu, Amazon Prime, Philo, Sling TV, or fuboTV, you can tack on Starz for the same price.

Additionally, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV Channels, and Roku usually let you try Starz for a week before they start charging, so you can catch up on a few episodes.

Power Book IV: Force Season 3 Episode 9 is a Molotov cocktail just waiting to blow. There will be revenge, backstabbing, and secret deals flying all over the place as everyone is in full-on survival mode, no one is safe, and absolutely nobody is playing fair. Rotten Tomatoes says it’s a mad scramble for power, and that checks out.

The title, War Requiem, itself suggests that people are going to die. The Chicago underworld has turned into a battleground right after the disaster depicted in Episode 8, which saw the death of numerous key characters. The story is likely to be told mainly through the perspective of revenge-seeking Tommy Egan, who lost his half-brother JP Gibbs in the process.

JP was killed by Jenard Sampson in a violent act that also took out King Kilo and his bodyguard. Industry experts and entertainment media houses predict that Power Book IV: Force Season 3 Episode 9 will be oriented towards Tommy Egan’s quest for revenge.

The emotional and psychological impact on Tommy will be huge, as JP was one of his last true family bonds. We already saw the grief boiling over into straight-up rage, the kind that makes him ten times more reckless and way scarier. Tommy is out for blood now, and we wouldn’t want to be anywhere near Jenard when he finds him. The upcoming episode is probably just going to be Tommy smashing his way through anyone in his way, all in the name of payback.

Then there’s Diamond. He is stuck in the nastiest spot. He got his brother, Jenard, on one side, but also a tense partnership with Tommy. It’s a pick-your-poison kind of situation. He has to make some brutal calls if he wants to keep his own skin intact. It’s not an easy place to be, and you just know something is going to snap.

The reference to “new alliances” in Book IV: Force Season 3 Episode 9 synopsis implies that the characters will reconsider their roles in the aftermath of the recent deaths and changes. Some surprises in terms of partnerships will be the result of that. It wouldn’t be shocking if Shanti Page slides in to team up with Tommy. She is smart, and the power vacuum left by JP’s death is just begging to be filled. Plus, Tommy needs someone to watch his six.

Miguel Garcia is still kicking, despite Ortega trying (and failing) to have him killed. He and Tommy are stuck with each other for the supply chain, but the cartel drama is always lurking, ready to blow up. And don’t forget Mireya. She has her own mess to deal with, stuck between family drama and the cartel’s nonstop pressure, all while trying to help Miguel keep his head above water.
