Is Power Book 3 season 3 out?

Set in the ’90s in Queens, New York, Power Book III: Raising Kanan centers on the teen years of Kanan Stark (Mekai Curtis) before he became the menacing man fans met in Power. Kanan’s mother, Raquel “Raq” Thomas (Patina Miller), is a drug queenpin who runs her business with her brothers, Marvin (London Brown) and Lou Lou (Malcolm Mays). However, Raq’s lies and ambitions have caused her family and her business to implode.

With everything in shambles following the Raising Kanan Season 2 finale, here’s what we know about Season 3.

Filming for ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ Season 3 is already underway

Fans of Raising Kanan will be thrilled that filming for the new season has been underway for a couple of months. In Sept. Raising Kanan showrunner Sascha Penn shared an image of a vintage McDonald’s Supersized cup on his Instagram. He captioned it, “Today is the first day of production on the third season of Raising Kanan. We’re back at it!”

Here’s what is known about Season 3 so far.

Creator Sascha Penn shared some insights into Season 3

Though he’s remaining mostly tightlipped about what’s next in the series, Penn has given fans some small details about what they can expect when the next season of the show premieres in 2023.

“I do think that in season three, there’s a lot that happens, and there are some new characters that emerge,” he told Uproxx. “We’ve done, I think, a very decent job pacing this thing out so we can get to where we are now. We’ve spent a good amount of time over the past two seasons developing these characters, making them feel human, and exploring their humanity. I think we’ve done a good enough job that people are responding well, right? So I think if you liked the finale, you’re going to really, really like season three because season three continues on with the groundwork that the finale laid out.”

Tony Danza will star in ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’

Speaking of new characters, fans can expect to see more of Tony Danza in Season 3 of Power Book III: Raising Kanan. The Hollywood icon appeared in the Season 2 finale “If Y’don’t Know, Now You Know.” He portrayed New York mob godfather Stefano Marchetti. Stefano warns both Raq and Newark mob boss Sal Boselli (Michael Rispoli) to end their war quickly and quietly.

However, as fans know, that didn’t happen. Now, both the gangster and the queenpin will face Stefano’s wrath in Season 3.

According to Deadline, the official character deception reads, “Danza will portray Stefano Marchetti, the godfather of New York City’s mafia scene and the most powerful man in town. Anyone wanting to do business in NYC needs to come to see him first or expect to pay the price.”

Power Book III: Raising Kanan is returning for Season 3.

The Starz show, which takes fans back to the '90s and the early life of infamous Power villain Kanan Stark, premiered its second season earlier this month.

Raising Kanan is the third spinoff in the Power universe and sees actor Mekai Curtis in the lead role, which was originally played by 50 Cent.

Newsweek has everything we know so far about Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3.

When Will Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Be Released?

Season 2 of Power Book III: Raising Kanan is still airing at the time of writing, but creator Sascha Penn confirmed that production on the third installment has already begun.

On August 22, Penn posted a picture on Instagram of a giant McDonald's cup along with the caption: "Today is the first day of production on the third season of Raising Kanan. We're back at it! #raisingkananstarz #raisingkanan #powerstarz #lionsgate."

Season 2 began in August 2022 so the next season could follow suit and begin in the summer of 2023.

Who Will Be in The Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Cast?

Currently, the show boasts a star-studded cast that includes The Hunger Games star Patina Miller as Kanan's mom Raquel "Raq" Thomas; Ballers star London Brown as Marvin Thomas; Malcolm Mays as Lou-Lou Thomas; and Hailey Kilgore as Laverne "Jukebox" Thomas.

It's likely the main cast will be back for Season 3 but, of course, it's not guaranteed.

What Will Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 3 Be About?

The specific plot details of Season 3 are not yet known, and no doubt they will hinge on the events of the rest of Season 2.

At the end of Season 1 of Raising Kanan, Detective Malcolm Howard (played by Omar Epps) was revealed to still be alive after Kanan shot him.

Kanan, who at the time did not know that Howard is actually his father, was ordered to kill the detective by his own mother Raq, after she became worried that her secret (Kanan's paternity) was going to be revealed.

She also managed to frame her rival, fellow drug dealer Unique, played by rapper Joey Bada$$, in the process, leaving her as the biggest drug dealer in New York City.

Season 2 has explored the fallout of this situation—specifically the changed relationship between Raq and Kanan—so Season 3 could see the aftermath play out even more as Kanan continues his journey towards the character that fans love to hate from Power.

Speaking to Newsweek ahead of the Season 2 premiere in August, Kanan actor Curtis said of Raq and Kanan's relationship: "It's fractured, [it's] rocky, it's tumultuous. It's in a rebuilding phase I guess you could call it. It's uncharted territory for each of them in [their own] personal respects."

"You watch this woman try to navigate this relationship, to get back in with her son, but also bring him on as an employee. She's going to do whatever she needs to do to keep Kanan [close]," Miller added of her character's Season 2 journey.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 2 continues Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on Starz.
