“We’re thrilled to continue Kanan Stark’s story, and for fans to see how the events of his formative adolescent years continue to mold him into the cold-hearted villain they were first introduced to in Power. We are quite sure that after viewers see the battle lines being drawn between Raq and Kanan on this epic upcoming third season that they will demand more,” said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming for Starz.
Set in the early 1990s, the third series in the Power universe tells the story of fan-favorite character Kanan Stark (Mekai Curtis), played by Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson in the original Power franchise, and his entry into the criminal world through his mother, who ruthlessly runs the family's drug empire.
When the series returns, Kanan continues his evolution from the devoted son of Raquel "Raq" Thomas (Patina Miller) to the eventual crime boss feared by almost everyone.
Joining Curtis and Miller are Omar Epps as Detective Malcolm Howard, London Brown as Marvin Thomas, Malcolm Mays as Lou-Lou Thomas, Hailey Kilgore as Jukebox, Joey Bada$$ as Unique, Shanley Caswell as Detective Burke, Antonio Ortiz as Famous and Grantham Coleman plays Ronnie in the series.
Sascha Penn returns as showrunner and executive producer for season four. The series is produced by original Power creator and showrunner 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 are also executive producers. Lionsgate Television produces the series for Starz.
