Nearly four months have passed since Starz’s sprawling “Power” universe was last on the air, following the April season finale of the Tommy Egan-focused “Force.” That’s not much time, and certainly not the longest span of time between installments in “Power” creator Courtney Kemp’s ever-widening tableau of cocaine entrepreneurs. But it feels like a long time, evidence that Kemp has succeeded into turning “Power” into a Marvel-style narrative ecosystem, for better and for worse.
The “for worse” part comes when any extended amount of time passes, when the richness and depth of a long-running, hyperconnected story triggers the audience’s anxiety about their ability to keep track of all its machinations. For example, “Force” reintroduced O.G. character Liliana (Audrey Esparza), who hadn’t been seen in over seven years since her initial three-episode arc in “Power.” The move ultimately paid off, but it also signaled to the fanbase that,...

Here is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Tuesday, August 31.
Hulu's Olga Dies Dreaming, the Hulu pilot based on Xóchitl Gonzalez’s forthcoming novel, has added another cast member.
Williams is set to play Matteo Jones, who’s described "as a collector of music, objects, trivia and, mainly, opinions," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"A passionate Brooklynite, he would come across as a know it all if, in fact, he wasn’t so genuinely curious about everything."
"Matteo is keenly aware of people’s inclination to put everyone and everything into neat little boxes and he firmly refuses to conform."
Williams will star opposite Aubrey Plaza and Ramón Rodriguez on the series, which has landed a pilot order.
Williams exited Grey's Anatomy after a decade in the role of Jackson Avery earlier this year.

Hulu's Olga Dies Dreaming, the Hulu pilot based on Xóchitl Gonzalez’s forthcoming novel, has added another cast member.
Williams is set to play Matteo Jones, who’s described "as a collector of music, objects, trivia and, mainly, opinions," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"A passionate Brooklynite, he would come across as a know it all if, in fact, he wasn’t so genuinely curious about everything."
"Matteo is keenly aware of people’s inclination to put everyone and everything into neat little boxes and he firmly refuses to conform."
Williams will star opposite Aubrey Plaza and Ramón Rodriguez on the series, which has landed a pilot order.

Seeing as Starz's Power Book III: Raising Kanan was renewed for a season two ahead of its premiere, we think it's safe to say that expectations for the show were already high. Partially inspired by executive producer 50 Cent's childhood, the series follows 15-year-old Kanan Stark's life in 1991 Queens, NY. We also get to see how he becomes Ghost's rival and the antagonist of Power, all the while discovering what it is that made him join in on the family business. The recurring cast includes Quincy Brown as Crown Camacho, Ade Chike Torbert as Scrappy, Natalee Linez as Jessica Figueroa, and Annabelle Zasowski as Nicole Bingham. From Mekai Curtis as the perfect younger version of the 50 Cent character to several Broadway stars, including Patina Miller and Hailey Kilgore, you can see the main cast ahead.

Well, it looks like Maluma and Scott Disick's Twitter feud turned out to be all a ruse. After the two had a seemingly heated exchange in a series of tweets on July 6, Maluma took fans by surprise when he dropped a music video on Thursday starring none other than Disick himself. The video is for Maluma's new single, "Sobrio," and it features a bunch of star-studded cameos from Disick, as well as Quincy Brown, Saweetie, Shanina Shaik, and Eden Fines. The Jessy Terrero-directed video sees Maluma drinking his sorrows away as he reminisces on a past relationship.
Maluma and Disick have hung out together several times within the last year, so it's no surprise that the two collaborated on the singer's latest project. However, fans were left scratching their heads earlier this week when Maluma and Disick started calling each other out on Twitter. "Wtf with this guy @maluma,...
