The news comes ahead of the Season 3 premiere, which is due to debut on Starz on Dec. 1. Production is now underway on Season 4 in New York.
“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,'” said Kathryn Busby, president of original programming for Starz. “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.”
The official description for the series states, “Set in the early 1990’s, the third series in the ‘Power’ Universe tells the origin story of fan favorite character, Kanan Stark, and his entry into the criminal world through his mother, who ruthlessly runs the family’s drug empire.”

The cast also includes: Omar Epps as Detective Malcolm Howard, London Brown as Marvin Thomas, Malcolm Mays as Lou-Lou Thomas, Hailey Kilgore as Jukebox, Joey Bada$$ as Unique, Shanley Caswell as Detective Burke, Antonio Ortiz as Famous, and Grantham Coleman as Ronnie.
