STARZ has made an announcement that Power Book III: Raising Kanan will premiere its fifth and last season on June 12. Episodes will be released every Friday on the STARZ app and across all other STARZ streaming platforms.
Raising Kanan is a prequel to the Power series, portraying Kanan Stark’s rise from a young man to a drug kingpin in the Power world. The fifth season begins after a confrontation between Kanan (MeKai Curtis) and his mother, Raquel Thomas (Patina Miller), who survived the Season Four finale and refuses to protect him anymore.
This season, Kanan attempts to dominate Southside’s drug business with a new partner, Breeze (Shameik Moore). Kanan distances himself from his mother, making reconciliation seem impossible before a war erupts.
The series stars London Brown, Malcolm Mays, Joey Bada$$, Hailey Kilgore, Wendell Pierce, Erika Woods, Tony Danza, Joe Pantoliano, and Leslie Grossman.
Sascha Penn is the showrunner and executive producer of the series. Co-executive producers include Courtney A. Kemp, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, and Mark Canton. Raising Kanan is produced by Lionsgate Television for STARZ.
Additionally, a spin-off called Power: Origins is in production and will air after Raising Kanan ends.
Seasons One to Four of the series are currently available on the STARZ app.
