STARZ has officially announced that the fifth and final season of "Power Book III: Raising Kanan" will premiere on June 12, 2026.
New episodes are set to debut every Friday across all STARZ streaming platforms and the official STARZ app.
Kanan's Transformation into a Drug Kingpin
The upcoming season follows Kanan Stark, played by MeKai Curtis, as his innocence fades into coldness during his rise toward becoming a drug kingpin.
According to the network trailer, the plot centers on the aftermath of a major confrontation between Kanan and his mother, Raquel "Raq" Thomas, portrayed by Patina Miller.
Raquel Thomas survived the dramatic season four finale but now refuses to offer protection to her son.
This development makes any potential reconciliation between mother and son highly unlikely before conflict erupts in the Southside neighborhood.
In his pursuit to dominate the local drug trade, Kanan forms a new criminal alliance with a partner named Breeze, played by Shameik Moore.
Entertainment reports indicate that this partnership solidifies Kanan's transition into the ruthless criminal persona featured in the original "Power" universe.
Cast and Production Details
The final season features an ensemble cast including London Brown, Malcolm Mays, Joey Bada$$, Hailey Kilgore, and Wendell Pierce.
Additional cast members include Erika Woods, Tony Danza, Joe Pantoliano, and Leslie Grossman.
Sascha Penn serves as the showrunner and executive producer for the Lionsgate Television production.
Courtney A. Kemp, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, and Mark Canton also return as co-executive producers for the network.
Viewers can currently access seasons one through four on the network streaming application ahead of the final broadcast.
Furthermore, a new spin-off series titled "Power: Origins" has entered production and is scheduled to air following the conclusion of the flagship prequel.
