The new trailer for Starz’s third season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan dives even deeper into the dynamics between Kanan (MeKai Curtis) and his mother Raquel (Patina Miller) as Kanan gets closer to the man he becomes in the flagship series, as played by 50 Cent.
The third season finds Raquel dealing with the aftermath of the Mob’s attack and Kanan’s growing distrust. According to the description:
Season three picks up where we left off, in Southside Jamaica Queens with the Thomas family in turmoil and reeling from the Mob’s coordinated attack on Raquel, Marvin and Lou-Lou. After her close call, Raquel is looking to make a fresh start, but Kanan doesn’t trust her or believe it when she says she’s done. Can she really be out of the game? As the trailer claims, the truth is a lie, and Kanan’s been burned before. The trailer also shows the return of Italian mob boss Stefano (Tony Danza) and introduces new adversaries “Snaps” and “Pop” (Wendell Pierce and Erika Woods.)
The prior two seasons of Raising Kanan have shown Kanan slowly learning the truth about his mother as well as himself. STARZ described Kanan’s coming of age “a tortuous journey for him and everyone around him.With each new revelation, Kanan has been forced to confront his family’s seemingly never-ending web of secrets and lies. He has spent much of this time in a state of denial, but now, Kanan’s blinders are finally off, and he doesn’t like what he sees.”
The series also stars London Brown, Omar Epps, Malcolm Mays, Hailey Kilgore, Joey Bada$$, Shanley Caswell, Antonio Ortiz and Grantham Coleman.
