Starz Releases First-Look Photos of ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ Season 3

*The third season of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” is set to return on Dec. 1.

“Power Book III: Raising Kanan” is a prequel set in the 1990s that will chronicle the early years of Kanan Stark, the character first played by executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson,” per IMDB. On Monday, Starz unveiled first-look photos of season 3, including new cast members Wendell Pierce and Erika Woods. Check out the images below.

The network’s press release states: With emotions high and the stakes even higher, we return to Southside Jamaica, Queens right where we left the Thomas family at the end of season two, with the family in turmoil and reeling from the Mob’s coordinated attack on Raquel, Marvin and Lou-Lou. The photos include a first look at new cast members Wendell Pierce and Erika Woods as “Snaps” and “Pop” Henry, as well as Grantham Coleman as “Ronnie,” whose casting was announced earlier this year. The new images also include Tony Danza reprising his role of Italian mobster Stefano Marchetti, and of course, returning series regulars including the formidable Patina Miller as “Raquel Thomas” and MeKai Curtis in the titular role of “Kanan Stark.”

In addition to Miller, Curtis, Pierce, Woods and Danza, “Raising Kanan” also stars Omar Epps as “Detective Malcolm Howard,” London Brown as “Marvin Thomas,” Malcolm Mays as “Lou-Lou Thomas,” Hailey Kilgore as “Jukebox,” Joey Bada$$ as “Unique,” Shanley Caswell as “Detective Burke” and Antonio Ortiz as “Famous.”

As Urban Hollywood 411 reports, Season 3 “will find the Thomas family reeling after the Mob’s coordinated attack on Raquel, Marvin and Lou-Lou,” the outlet writes.

Here’s the official S4 description via Urban Hollywood 411: “Kanan finds himself grappling with the very notions of right and wrong. Good and evil. Fidelity and disloyalty. And he’s not alone. Every member of the Thomas family must confront an existential crisis that challenges their very identity. Whether it’s Marvin, who’s still trying to redeem himself, or Raq, who’s finally coming clean, or Lou, who’s wrestling with his own evil, or Jukebox, who’s simply trying to break free from her family’s pathology, they are all attempting to redefine and reinvent themselves. They won’t all be able to complete this intensely personal quest, but for those who do, the destination may reveal the most terrifying secret of all. There is no right and wrong or good and evil. There are no absolutes. In the end, there’s just you.”

The “Power” Universe series is executive produced by the creator and showrunner of the original “Power,” Courtney A. Kemp through her production company End of Episode, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson through G-Unit Film and Television, and Mark Canton through Atmosphere Entertainment MM.

New episodes of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” will drop weekly on Fridays at midnight ET/PT on the Starz app, all Starz streaming, and on-demand platforms. On TV, the series airs on Starz at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S. and Canada.
