The ’90s-set Power spin-off series will return for a fourth instalment. <\/p>

Just like that, the third season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan<\/a> is over \u2013 and what a season it was.<\/p>\n

The spin-off to the original Power<\/a> series has proven more than a little popular, as fans of the franchise have delved into Kanan Stark\u2019s origin story, unfolding throughout the \u201990s.<\/p>\n

A character originally played by executive producer 50 Cent in the Power series, here we meet Kanan (played by Mekai Curtis) as an adolescent who is getting his introduction into the criminal world through his mother Raquel \u2018Raq\u2019 Thomas (Patina Miller), who runs the family\u2019s drug empire.<\/p>\n

With plenty of tension between the mother and son duo, the previous seasons have seen Kanan\u2019s story getting more twisted as villains old and new rear their heads in the high-stakes drug business.<\/p>\n

Although UK fans of the series haven\u2019t yet been able to watch the third season<\/a>, ahead of the season premiere it was already confirmed that Power Book III: Raising Kanan would be back for season 4.<\/p>\n

Announcing the news, Kathryn Busby, president of original programming for Starz, said: \u201cWe are quite sure that after viewers see the battle lines being drawn between Raq and Kanan on this epic upcoming third season, they will demand more.\u201d<\/p>\n

With that, read on for everything we know so far about Power Book III: Raising Kanan season 4.<\/p>\n

Power Book III: Raising Kanan season 4 release date speculation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Announced back in November 2023, there\u2019s not yet been any confirmation<\/strong> as to when the fourth season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan will be released.<\/p>\n

We do know, though, that the season is currently in production, so we could expect the new run to land sometime later this year or early 2025, fingers crossed.<\/p>\n

If we\u2019re to follow the pattern of release of previous seasons, the new instalment usually airs around one year after the release of the previous finale. So, with season 3\u2019s finale having aired on 2nd February 2024, we could expect season 4 in early 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the official Starz announcement of season 4, Busby said: \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to continue Kanan Stark\u2019s story, and for fans to see how the events of his formative adolescent years continue to mould him into the cold-hearted villain they were first introduced to in Power.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be a prequel series about Kanan Stark without the boy himself, so we\u2019d expect Mekai Curtis to return to helm the drama, as well as Patina Miller as his mother, Raq.<\/p>\n

While the pair have only grown increasingly suspicious of each other, perhaps<\/em> there could be some hope in store for their relationship in season 4.<\/p>\n

As for the rest of the cast, we\u2019d expect the main line-up to all return \u2013 but one person who won\u2019t be making an appearance in season 4 is Shanley Caswell as Shannon Burke.<\/p>\n

The detective was shockingly killed at the start of season 3 by her fellow detective Malcolm Howard (Omar Epps), after getting too close to exposing his corruption.<\/p>\n

Speaking about her character\u2019s death in an interview with Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, Burke said: \u201cIt was leading in that direction in season 2. Shannon had done her job by sowing the seeds of doubt in as many people as she can. There\u2019s only so many things that can happen to a detective that gets a little bit too nosy in the Power universe.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the rest of the Power Book III: Raising Kanan cast, here\u2019s who we would expect to see in season 4:<\/p>\n
