The network has announced that it has acquired exclusive US rights The Nowhere Manan action-packed six-episode series featuring Bonko Khoza (The female king) and Power franchise standout Naughton-Lewis nature.
The series is set to premiere on Friday, January 16, 2026, with new episodes streaming weekly on the STARZ app and across all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms.
Set on the streets of Johannesburg, The Nowhere Man follows Lukas (Khoza), a former Special Forces mercenary haunted by PTSD who has traded combat for survival as a junk collector, according to a press release. When he witnesses a violent home invasion and intervenes, Lukas is drawn back into a dangerous world he's spent years trying to leave behind, “forcing him to confront both buried trauma and brutal truths from his past.”
While Khoza anchors the series as its conflicted central figure, The Nowhere Man also marks an important STARZ reunion for Naturi Naughton-Lewis, whose Powerhouse performances as Tasha St Patrick over the Power universe helped define the network's modern identity. In addition to starring, Naughton-Lewis serves as an executive producer through her company, Take Two Entertainment.
Filmed on location in South Africa, The Nowhere Man is created by Motion Story and produced by Phillip Wolmarans and Nick Keulemans. Fred Wolmarans and Gareth Crocker directed the series, with Crocker also serving as showrunner. Executive producers include Chris Lawrance, Colleen Lawrance, Sean Mikael Butler, Naughton-Lewis, and the actress' husband, Two Lewis.
“We are thrilled to reunite with Naturi, an extraordinary talent that viewers know and love,” Alison Hoffman, president of STARZ Networks, said in an official statement. “The Nowhere Man is a powerful addition to our action lineup, and with our audience eager for the next high-octane thrill ride, this show delivers.
Likewise, Naturi Naughton-Lewis said the series represents both a creative evolution and a full-circle moment.
“The Nowhere Man represents an exciting evolution for me as both an actress and executive producer, and I'm thrilled that my company, Take Two Entertainment, is part of this incredible team,” she said. “It's especially meaningful to reunite with my STARZ family to tell a bold, action-packed, globally relevant story.
