The cast of Power Book IV Force reflected on the upcoming final season during a virtual press junket, sharing memories from set, stories about their experience filming in Chicago, and what the show taught them about stretching their craft. With the third and final chapter just starting to air this week, the actors spoke openly about saying goodbye to a world they have lived in for years.
Joseph Sikora, who plays Tommy Egan, appeared alongside Isaac Keys, who portrays Diamond Sampson, and spoke about the bond they built through long shoot days and intense scenes that pushed their characters to the edge. Sikora explained that filming in Chicago gave him a deeper appreciation for the city’s rhythm and personality. He shared that the neighborhoods, the food, and the people shaped the grit and authenticity of Tommy’s journey. Keys added that working in the city taught him how each location can help drive a performance. He said the energy of Chicago often guided the emotional stakes of Diamond’s story.
Manuel Eduardo Ramirez and Carmela Zumbado, who play siblings Miguel and Mireya Garcia, spoke about creating a layered dynamic that blends loyalty, conflict, and unexpected vulnerability. Ramirez said the final season challenged him to explore new emotional territory, noting that Miguel’s story demanded a fuller range of intensity and quiet reflection. Zumbado added that she learned how to ground her character by observing the way Chicagoans carry themselves. She described the city as both tough and warm, which helped her shape Mireya’s presence in scenes that required stillness and strength.
Lili Simmons, who portrays Claudia Flynn, reflected on her final days on set with a mix of pride and gratitude. She said wrapping the series felt surreal, especially after filming some of her most demanding scenes during the last stretch of production. Simmons explained that Claudia’s evolution taught her how to play power, fear, and ambition in more nuanced ways. She also shared that Chicago became a second home, crediting the cast and crew for creating a supportive environment that made even the most intense moments feel collaborative.
As the final season approaches, the cast agreed that this chapter of Power Book IV Force is their most emotional and personal yet. They hope fans feel the dedication that went into every scene and believe the story ends exactly where it was meant to.
