Power Book III: Raising Kanan to End with Season 5 – Starz Confirms the Final Chapter

Fans of the hit crime drama, get ready for one last ride. Starz has officially announced that Season 5 will mark the end of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, bringing Kanan Stark’s origin story to a powerful close.

The Final Season: Starz Confirms Raising Kanan's Conclusion

In a major announcement on Friday, Starz revealed that Power Book III: Raising Kanan will conclude with its fifth season. The prequel series, part of the Power Universe created by Courtney A. Kemp and executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, has captivated audiences with its gritty storytelling and deep character development. With four intense seasons behind it, the show will wrap up Kanan Stark’s transformation from a troubled teen to a feared figure in the criminal underworld.

Why Ending with Season 5 Makes Sense

Starz’s decision to end the series after Season 5 aligns with the network’s broader vision for the Power Universe. According to Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming at Starz, the upcoming season will bring Kanan’s journey full circle. Season 5 is expected to bridge the gap between the young Kanan portrayed by MeKai Curtis and the adult version introduced in the original Power series, played by 50 Cent.

This planned conclusion ensures a well-crafted, satisfying arc rather than stretching the story thin. The creative team, including showrunner Sascha Penn, is fully on board to deliver a powerful finale that honors fans’ investment.

What to Expect in Season 5

Though a release date hasn’t been officially announced, Season 5 is currently in post-production and is expected to premiere in 2026. The final season will likely dive deeper into Kanan’s moral conflicts, his evolving relationship with his mother Raq (Patina Miller), and the consequences of his rise in New York’s drug game.

With intersecting storylines and connections to other Power Universe characters, fans can expect high stakes, emotional depth, and some surprises along the way.

Where to Watch Power Book III: Raising Kanan

All previous seasons of Raising Kanan are available to stream on Starz.com, the Starz app, and platforms like Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV, and Philo with a Starz subscription.

The Legacy of Raising Kanan

As Power Book III: Raising Kanan gears up for its fifth and final season, fans can look forward to a thrilling conclusion that honors the legacy of one of television’s most compelling crime sagas. With strong storytelling and unforgettable performances, the series has carved out its place in the Power franchise and in the hearts of viewers.
