The Fosters momma Sherri Saum is entering the world of Power: The actress has joined the cast of the spinoff Power Book II: Ghost, our sister site Deadline reports.
The upcoming series “picks up shortly after the earth-shattering events of Power as Tariq St. Patrick (played by Rainey Jr.) grapples with a new world order: his father dead and his mother, Tasha (Naturi Naughton), facing charges for the murder her son committed,” per the official synopsis. Saum — who has also appeared on Locke & Key and Roswell, New Mexico — will play Paula Matarazzo, the top investigator and right-hand man of the arrogant defense lawyer Davis MacLean (Cliff “Method Man” Smith).
Power Book II: Ghost will premiere in September on Starz, the first of four planned offshoots of the original series.
