There will! Power Book III: Raising Kanan was officially renewed for season 3 before its second season had even debuted.

Starz’s president of original programming Kathryn Busby said the time: “Our passionate and loyal fans have been eagerly awaiting the season 2 return of Raising Kanan to see the continued transformation of a young and naïve teenage Kanan Stark into the ruthless, no-nonsense character they know and love.

“And we’re thrilled to be doubling down on a third season with this incredible cast led by Patina and Mekai.”

We don’t know exactly when the new season will be released just yet but based on the gap between seasons 1 and 2 we’d imagine season 3 will start a year after the second.

That means we can expect the season to return in the Summer of 2023. We’ll keep this page updated with any more solid information as we get it.
