Season Two for Power Book III: Raising Kanan

Ahead of its series premiere this Sunday, Starz has greenlit a second season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

Set in South Jamaica Queens in the early ’90s, the prequel is about the early years of the now-deceased Power character Kanan Stark, portrayed in the original Power series by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. It premieres July 18 at 8 p.m. on Starz and across all platforms in the U.S. and Canada, airing day and date internationally on the StarzPlay streaming platform across its footprint in Europe, Latin America and Japan.

Sascha Penn returns as creator and showrunner and will continue executive producing alongside Jackson and Courtney A. Kemp.

“One season isn’t enough to tell the coming-of-age story of Kanan Stark and his mother, Raq, a fierce and successful woman who is a force of nature,” said Jeffrey Hirsch, president and CEO of Starz. “The anticipation globally for more of the Power Universe made it clear that the Kanan story needs to continue.”
