Power Book III: Raising Kanan takes us back to the 90s, exploring the formative years of Kanan Stark. But who brings these compelling characters to life? Let's meet the amazing cast that makes this prequel so captivating!
Leading the charge is Mekai Curtis as young Kanan, navigating the dangerous world his queenpin mother, Raquel 'Raq' Thomas (played with chilling brilliance by Patina Miller), commands. The dynamic between them is the heart of the show.
We also have Omar Epps as Detective Malcolm Howard, a cop with secrets of his own, and London Brown as Marvin Thomas, Raq's impulsive and sometimes reckless brother. Malcolm Mays portrays Lou-Lou Thomas, the calmer, more business-minded brother, and Hailey Kilgore shines as Jukebox, Kanan's cousin, struggling with her identity and place in the family.
Rounding out the cast are Joey Bada$$ as Unique, a rival dealer, and Shanley Caswell as Detective Burke, adding further complexity to the narrative. This talented ensemble truly embodies the characters and brings the world of Raising Kanan to life. Their performances are a major reason why the show resonates with audiences.
