What Is Power Book III: Raising Kanan About?

For those who haven’t been following the Power saga, Raising Kanan is the prequel that dives into the origins of Kanan Stark. Set in the 1990s, the show follows Kanan’s transformation from an innocent teenager to a ruthless player in his mother’s drug empire. His mother, Raquel “Raq” Thomas (Patina Miller), is a force to be reckoned with, controlling the streets while trying to keep her son under her thumb.

What Happened at the End of Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3? (Spoilers Ahead!)

Season three was nothing short of explosive. Kanan, tired of being manipulated by Raq, made his move, orchestrating a deadly plan that led to the demise of both Ronnie and Detective Howard. Meanwhile, the Thomas family found themselves at a turning point: Raq freed herself from her past enemies, Lou severed ties with his demons, and Jukebox chose a new life away from the family business. Marvin, once a target of the Federal Task Force, found himself protected by the very corruption he sought to escape. But if Power has taught us anything, it’s that peace is always short-lived.

What Is Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 4 About?

Season four picks up with Kanan finally stepping out of his mother’s shadow and solidifying his presence in the game. Raq, once the untouchable queen pin, is now questioning if she can trust her son or her business associates. As the empire expands, Kanan and Raq find themselves entangled with street legends “Snaps” (Wendell Pierce) and “Pop” (Erika Woods), as well as the powerful Italian mob boss Stefano Marchetti (Tony Danza). But lurking in the shadows is Unique (Joey Bada$$), a man with a score to settle and vengeance on his mind.

With old alliances crumbling and new enemies emerging, season four promises to be a relentless, edge-of-your-seat ride. So, sports bar owners, if you’re looking to keep patrons entertained beyond the final whistle, Raising Kanan is the perfect post-game watch.
