Starz has set March 7 as the official Season 4 premiere of Power Book III: Raising Kanan and dropped first-look photos of what’s ahead. New episodes will be released on Fridays.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan explores the early life of everyone’s favorite villain Kanan Stark, originally played by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson in the flagship series, and shows his evolution from a näive teenager to a cutthroat villain. Season 3 saw an epic showdown between Kanan (Mekai Curtis) and his mother Raq (Patina Miller), resulting in a couple of surprise deaths and the return of a fan-favorite character.

In Season 4, slates have seemingly been wiped clean for Kanan, Raq, and the rest of the Thomas family in pursuit of a fresh start. However, in the eye of the storm, one very dangerous obstacle looms large, Unique is alive. Unique (Joey Bada$$) 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 four, the difference between life and death may be whether the family chooses to reject or embrace the truth.
