Earlier this morning, STARZ sent out a press release announcing the renewal of Power Book III: Raising Kanan for a fourth season. Showrunner and Executive Producer Sascha Penn is set to return and production starts later this week in New York City. Below is the official statement courtesy of STARZ president of Original Programming Kathryn Busby:
“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”.
Show Description:
