It is definitely a wonderful time to be a fan of the Power Universe on STARZ. For Power Book IV: Force just wrapped up a powerhouse second season of the show, one that wowed fans everywhere with Tommy’s incredible moves to be the King of Chicago. And of course, Power Book II: Ghost took the story in a bold new direction that put the heat upon Tariq St. Patrick like never before and we are of course… days away from season three of Power Book III: Raising Kanan.
​
Oh, and… there’s going be more adventures with Kanan happening on the horizon. For recently, STARZ also announced that production has begun on season four of Raising Kanan, letting all the fans know that truly… Power Never Ends.  And well… to properly celebrate this wonderful news, here are all the details on this surprise season four announcement of this beloved show, to further build excitement for season three, and the fourth season that lies ahead… courtesy of STARZ.

‘STARZ announced its prestige family crime drama “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” is kicking off production on the fourth season ahead of its highly anticipated December 1 season three premiere. Production will begin this week 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.’ 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,” said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming for STARZ. 
 
As previously announced, season three will premiere on December 1 with new episodes available weekly on Fridays at midnight ET on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms. On linear, it will debut on STARZ at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT in the U.S. and 9:00 pm ET in Canada.
