‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’ Season 2 Preview
When we last saw Raq (Patina Miller), Kanan (Mekai Curtis) and the rest of the “Power Book III” gang, Raq managed to manipulate Kanan into murdering his biological father, Det. Howard (Omar Epps) though Kanan was not successful. Jukebox (Hailey Kilgore) eventually explained that they needed to stop getting caught up in their parents’ criminal activities.
When the show returns for its second season, Raq is still up to no good, “eager to expand the operation and set[ting] her sights on New Jersey,” according to the Starz press release.
It reads:
The second season of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” takes us back to early ‘90s South Jamaica, Queens, but not the same Queens we left in Season One. Raquel “Raq” Thomas is no longer vying for street corners in the war with Unique — she has won that battle and now controls the borough’s distribution. But as Raq’s power grows, so does her appetite. She’s eager to expand the operation and sets her sights on New Jersey. But with new territory, comes new foes, and this time it’s the Jersey Mafia.
As Raq looks to the Garden State, another battle brews back home: the fight for her son’s trust. Kanan Stark escaped Queens at the end of the first season after putting two bullets in the chest of Detective Malcolm Howard. But Kanan returns home to find that Howard and the dangerous secret he holds – he is Kanan’s father – are both alive and well. And while Raq isn’t about to let this secret upend Kanan’s life and alter her relationship with him forever, Kanan has plans of his own. As he searches for the truth, so does Howard’s partner, Detective Burke, who grows increasingly suspicious that Howard is hiding something.
With her relationship with Kanan profoundly strained, Raq turns to her brothers, Marvin and Lou-Lou, to help execute her expansion strategy. Lou proves unreliable as he starts to turn his back on the crime world in favor of his record label, placing all his hope on a hot new artist now that the light has faded on his previous star, Famous. Meanwhile, Marvin, who last season, brutally attacked his daughter, Jukebox, searches for redemption and forgiveness. However, Juke is still mourning the loss of her first love, Nicole, and isn’t interested in granting her father the forgiveness he so desperately craves. Instead, she turns to someone from a past she barely knows to fill the holes in her heart.
The press release continues, “In season two, these precarious relationships all hang in the balance, highlighting this season’s overarching theme: ‘The ties that bind.’ In its most common form, this phrase refers to the notion that our shared values, interests and beliefs connect us in profound and immutable ways. They link us. Bond us.
“But for this family, the ties that bind are dangerous. Life-threatening. As much as each of these characters would like to chart their own course, they are inextricably bound to each other in ways they can’t escape. It’s a past they can’t shake. A legacy they can’t elude. A biology they can’t change.”
“Power Book III: Raising Kanan” returns on Sunday, August 14 at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on Starz.
