franchise since Curtis Jackson (aka 50 Cent) took on the role of adult Kanan Stark in 2014, you'll know that Raising Kanan is one in a string of spinoffs, including Power Book II: Ghost and Power Book IV: Force , which ended earlier this year. Set in the 1990s, Raising Kanan has been exploring the early years of Kanan Stark (Mekai Curtis) since 2021, as he gets into the drugs game and helps his mom's growing drugs business. We've seen plenty of violence, drama and scandal since then, and sadly, we've only got eight more episodes of it.

Power-Book III: Raising Kanan season 5
trailer Official Trailer | Power Book III: Raising Kanan | Season 5 - YouTube Watch On The season 5 trailer dropped on May 18, with this synopsis: "Kanan has become exactly who he was meant to be, and the Thomas family is ready for an all-out war."

Incredibly, it's also resolves the outstanding season 4 cliffhanger of
whether Kanan actually killed his mother, Raq. Surprise... she's very much alive and well.

That doesn't necessarily mean she's off the hook, though, with the above trailer suggesting that a number of other people might want her to be bumped off too.

(Image credit: Starz) We're expecting the following main cast members
to return for Power-Book III: Raising Kanan season 5: Mekai Curtis as Kanan Stark Shameik Moore as Breeze Patina Miller as Raquel Thomas London Brown as Marvin Thomas Malcolm Mays as Lou Thomas Joey Bada$$ as Unique Hailey Kilgoreas Laverne Jukebox Thomas Wendell Pierceas Ishmael Snaps Henry Erika Woods as Stephanie Pop Henry Tony Danza as Stefano Marchetti Joe
Pantollianoas Pino Bernardi Leslie Grossman as Florence Flossie Sigel. While Moore is technically a new cast member, he made a surprise appearance during the season 4 finale, but will be a series regular going forward.

"The Power Universe fans have been patiently anticipating this moment and I'm honored to step into the iconic role of Breeze," Moore said in a statement when his casting was first announced.

"I jumped into a story that is already alive with such strong characters, but it was a fun challenge to find Breeze's unique identity, and I can't wait for fans to see how Breeze will shift dynamics in the story. It's gonna be a wild ride." Power-Book III: Raising Kanan season 5 plot synopsis This is exactly where I want to be. (Image credit: Starz) Luckily for us, Starz has gone into some exceptional detail when it comes to the synopsis of season 5.

As it explains, "Kanan Starks journey over the last four seasons of Raising Kanan has been fraught with ambition, betrayal and relentless attempts to escape his mothers shadow. He once looked up to Raq, eager to join her
empire, but he soon learned the truth about who she really was and the
secrets she was hiding from him. Forced to confront this web of lies,

"Kanan faced an existential crisis of self-discovery and emerged stronger and more resolute than ever. Although he embraced his true self, and broke free from his mothers influence, he still couldnt let her crimes go unanswered."
It continues, "Now, in season 5, Kanans true ruthlessness takes shape. He knows exactly who he is and who he must become to defeat his enemies. As his relationship with Raq reaches a point of no return, and any chance of reconciliation becomes a distant memory, war is inevitable. Kanan solidifies his place in the Queens drug game alongside Breeze, the Southside legend, and their alliance sets the stage for a reckoning that will ripple through every player in this dangerous business.

"Many sacrifices will be made, whether its the Thomas family facing the collapse of their reign, Unique fighting to preserve his legacy or the Mafia maneuvering behind the scenes. However, nothing will stand in the way of Kanans pursuit of power. After all, this isnt the end for Kanan Stark. Its just the beginning." Is this the end of the Power franchise? Don't be silly, of course it's not. (Image credit: Starz) Thankfully, no it isn't. Just because Raising Kanan is ending, Power still has two other spinoffs in production: Origins and Legacy .

More crucially, anybody who is still alive at the end of Raising Kanan has
the chance to appear in Origins , which will follow the early lives of James "Ghost" St. Patrick and Tommy Egan in late-1990s and early-2000s New York.

We already know that Curtis will be reprising is role of Kanan for the next spinoff, with Spence Moore II playing young Ghost and Charlie Mann playing Egan.

Legacy will be a direct continuation of the original Power series rather
than a prequel, following the returns of Tariq St. Patrick (Michael Rainey Jr.) and Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) to the streets of New York.

Neither have release dates as of yet. Today's best Starz deals 1st 3 months Starz EXCLUSIVE LIMITED TIME OFFER $5 /mth View at Starz Starz Monthly $8.99 /mth View at Starz Starz Annual $74.99 /year View at Starz Follow TechRadar
