The streets of Southside Jamaica, Queens are set to light up once more as “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” gears up for its third season, premiering on December 1, 2023. This Starz series, a prequel to the critically acclaimed “Power,” continues to unravel the early days of Kanan Stark and his entanglement in the family’s criminal empire.
Mark your calendars for a thrilling return; the new season kicks off on Starz with episodes dropping weekly. For the eager fans, the episodes will be available from midnight on Fridays via the Starz app, and on all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms. Internationally, viewers in the U.K. and Ireland can catch the premiere on the Lionsgate+ streaming platform. For traditional viewing, tune into Starz at 8 p.m. in the U.S. and Canada.
Following a dramatic season two finale, the upcoming season dives deep into the chaos left behind by the Mob’s attack on key characters Raquel, Marvin, and Lou-Lou. The stakes are higher than ever as each character grapples with their moral compasses, questioning the essence of right and wrong. Kanan Stark, portrayed by Mekai Curtis, finds himself particularly disillusioned, shedding his naivety as he faces the harsh realities of his family’s legacy of secrets and lies.
This season promises a journey of self-discovery and redemption, with characters like Marvin seeking redemption and Raq confronting her past actions. The complexity of their choices paints a gritty picture of life and survival in the drug game, where lines between right and wrong blur, leaving viewers questioning if there are ever any true heroes or villains in the world of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan.”
The series boasts a stellar ensemble including Patina Miller as Raquel ‘Raq’ Thomas, Omar Epps, London Brown, Malcolm Mays, Hailey Kilgore, Joey Bada$$, Shanley Caswell, and Antonio Ortiz. Season 3 also welcomes new faces such as Wendell Pierce and Erika Woods, adding fresh dynamics to the already explosive narrative.
Behind the scenes, Sascha Penn returns as the showrunner and executive producer, ensuring the continuity of the gritty storytelling that fans have come to expect. The series is produced by Lionsgate Television for Starz, with executive production credits including Courtney A. Kemp, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, and Mark Canton among others.
Even before the third season hits screens, Starz has confirmed the renewal of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” for a fourth season, signaling strong confidence in the series’ continued appeal. Production for the new season is already underway in New York, promising more intense drama and character evolution.
Kathryn Busby, president of original programming at Starz, expressed excitement about the series’ trajectory, hinting at even more compelling developments as Kanan Stark’s journey into the criminal underworld deepens.
While U.S. fans can enjoy the series on Starz, international viewers in the U.K. and Ireland can catch the episodes on Lionsgate+. However, details about the availability of Season 3 in other regions remain uncertain, especially with the upcoming strategic changes at Starz as it prepares to operate as a standalone entity post its separation from Lionsgate in 2024.
As the countdown to December begins, fans of the “Power” universe are on the edge of their seats, anticipating yet another gripping chapter in Kanan Stark’s tumultuous rise. Stay tuned for a season filled with twists, betrayals, and revelations that promise to shake the very foundations of the characters’ lives.
