Power Book III: Raising Kanan explores 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 naive teenager to cutthroat villain. Season 3 saw an epic showdown between Kanan (Mekai Curtis) and Raq (Patina Miller), resulting in a couple of surprise deaths and the return of a fan-favorite character. The series stars MeKai Curtis in the titular role of “Kanan,” Tony and Grammy Award winner Patina Miller as his mother, Raquel “Raq” Thomas” and London Brown as “Marvin Thomas.” Season 4 is currently in production in New York. The series scored an early renewal for a fifth season following the Season 3 finale in February.
Sascha Penn will return as showrunner and executive producer for Season 4. The 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 Atmosphere Entertainment MM. Chris Selak and Kevin Fox also serve as executive producers. Lionsgate Television produces the series for Starz. Mlambo most recently recurred in Netflix’s Florida Man starring Edgar Ramirez, Lex Scott Davis and Otmara Marrero, which premiered last week. Additional credits include leading roles in Netflix’s Lost in Space and Freeform’s Siren, and recurring roles in the CW’s Roswell, New Mexico, MacGyver for CBS, MTV’s Teen Wolf and Black Sails for Starz.
