‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ Season 4 Trailer Teases Tension Coming To A Boiling Point
Starz dropped the first trailer for its hit series Power Book III: Raising Kanan’s fourth season (above) and things are heating up. The show returns with new episodes on March 7.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan focuses on 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.
The trailer shows a more confident Kanan finding his place in the world away from his mother’s shadow, as she questions if she can trust her son and business partner. The two continue to expand their drug empire, working with street legends “Snaps” (Wendell Pierce) and “Pop” (Erika Woods) and Italian mob boss Stefano Marchetti (Tony Danza), all while a resurrected “Unique” (Joey Bada$$) is working quietly, looking for vengeance against those he believes wronged him.
Last season, Kanan took a big step forward by leaning into his future. After enduring his mother’s lies, Kanan assumed control of his life and took matters into his own hands by orchestrating the plan that ended in the deaths of Ronnie and Detective Howard.
Flash forward to Season 4, and it appears slates have seemingly been wiped clean for Kanan, Raq, and the rest of the Thomas family. Kanan’s drug business has hit its stride; Raq is free of the foes who once plagued her; Lou (Malcolm Mays) has cleansed himself of his demons; the Federal Task Force case against Marvin (London Brown) has become shrouded by Howard’s corruption; and Jukebox (Hailey Kilgore) has chosen a new path away from home.
However, trouble lies ahead. Unique is alive, and his volatility and violent streak are worse than ever. He wants revenge and to upend the lives of the Thomas family. Amidst the chaos, a truth will emerge 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. Rejecting or embracing this truth may be the difference between life and death.
The cast also includes Pardison Fontaine as “B-Rilla” and Chris Redd as “Early Tyler,” Sibongile Mlambo as “Imani Okoye” and Paul Ben-Victor as “Phil Russo.”
Power Book III: Raising Kanan is the second series in the expanded “Power” Universe franchise. Sascha Penn serves as showrunner and executive producer for season four. 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 Canton Entertainment. Chris Selak and Kevin Fox also serve as executive producers. Lionsgate Television produces the series for Starz.
