Set in South Jamaica, Queens, in 1991, the sprawling family drama revolves around the coming-of-age of Kanan Stark (Mekai Curtis) — Ghost and Tommy’s mentor, partner, and adversary, who dies in a hail of gunfire in “Power’s” final season. In the prequel series, Kanan is the 15-year-old only child of Raquel “Raq” Thomas (Patina Miller), a cocaine distributor with an emerging network of dealers around the city. Like its predecessors, “Power” and “Power Book II: Ghost,” “Raising Kanan” explores themes of identity, violence, loyalty, and legacy. It’s also a deep dive into the pathology of family: The nuanced but unique dynamic between parent and child, mother and father, and brother and sister.

The cast includes Omar Epps (“House,” “Love and Basketball”) as Detective Malcolm Howard, London Brown (“Ballers”) as Marvin Thomas, Malcolm Mays (“Them,” “Snowfall”) as Louis “Lou-Lou” Thomas, Hailey Kilgore (“Respect”) as Jukebox, Joey Bada$$ (“Wu-Tang and American Saga”) as Unique, Toby Sandeman (“The Royals”) as Symphony Bosket, Shanley Caswell (“The Conjuring”) as Detective Shannon Burke, Lovie Simone (“The Craft: Legacy”) as Davina Harrison, and Quincy Brown (“Dope”) as Crown Camacho. The season finale will arrive on the app on September 26, and will premiere on the network at 8:00 p.m. EST.
