The big twist in Season 4, though, is that rival drug kingpin Unique, played by rapper Joey Bada$$, is alive after all — though he’s sporting some pretty rough scars in the first-look photos below. “Slates have seemingly been wiped clean for Kanan, Raq, and the rest of the Thomas family in pursuit of a fresh start,” per the official Season 4 synopsis. “However in the eye of the storm, one very dangerous obstacle looms large, Unique is alive.”

In Season 4, “Unique makes a volatile and violent return, as he hunts to upend the lives of the Thomas family. Amidst the chaos, the Thomas family faces a truth that can no longer be denied: You are who you are. Although you may be capable of change, the fundamentals remain the same, and sooner or later, you will be forced to confront the inescapable reality of your inherent nature. In Season 4, whether the family chooses to reject or embrace the truth may be the difference between life and death.”

Also in the Power Book III cast are Tony Danza as Italian mobster Stefano Marchetti, Wendell Pierce and Erika Woods as Snaps and Pop, London Brown as Marvin Thomas, Malcolm Mays as Lou-Lou Thomas and Hailey Kilgore as Jukebox.
