Season 1 recap
The first season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan was an exploration of betrayals, secrets, lies, and the ways in which they fester, metastasize and ultimately erupt. The overarching theme of this first season was, "You reap what you sow." In other words, actions can have consequences.
Every character in the series was hiding something - from the world, from each other, from themselves. As the story unfolded, they each had to grapple with the unintended and destructive consequences of the information they had withheld.
While the ways in which these betrayals, secrets, and lies manifest themselves may differ, one truth remains constant: No one can be trusted in Power Book III: Raising Kanan. And nothing is ever as it appears.
Check out the trailer for the upcoming season
The official trailer for the upcoming season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan dropped last month and depicted a lot of external and internal struggles Raq, Kanan, and the rest of the family will have to go through. The season will pick up right after season 1 and will see Kanan returning to his family in Queens. His illusions regarding the glamor of his family’s lifestyle and his relationship with his mother shattered.
The second season of the show will centre on Kanan's relationship with Detective Howard, the officer he shot and left for dead. It will also examine how the Detective balances his responsibilities to the police force and Kanan, whom he knows is his biological son. Fans of the show can expect to see more of the Unique and New Jersey Mafia in Season 2 as well.
