Power Book III: Raising Kanan S1-4
Family makes you. The game defines you.
Kanan, Raq, and the rest of the Thomas family return for a new season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, filling in the gaps leading up to the deadly showdown in the Season 3 finale.
Already renewed for a fifth season, Raising Kanan is a prequel to the smash hit crime drama Power and stars Mekai Curtis as the young Kanan Stark (played in the original series by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, who once again exec produces here).
As Kanan’s ruthless mother, Raq, Tony Award winner Patina Miller picked up her second Black Reel Award nomination last year. She’s also been nominated twice at the Women’s Image Network Awards, where the show was nominated for Best Drama Series.
The Hollywood Reporter hails Miller for "one of TV’s most magnetic (and beautifully costumed) under-the-radar lead performances,” adding “Raising Kanan is both more narratively meticulous and emotionally grounded than a threequel/prequel crime drama spinoff has any right to be.”

Power Book III: Raising Kanan S1-4 are now available to stream on Showmax.
