Power finished with its sixth season which ended earlier this year. Fans needn’t worry though as creator Courtney Kemp and executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson brought it back to life in the shape with four new spin-off series. The first of the four, Power Book II: Ghost, is nearing its end with the finale ready to air this weekend. After this, it will soon be time for the start of a new story to begin.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan will be the second of the new series in the Power franchise to come out.
While the other three shows are about what happened next following the death of James “Ghost” St Patrick (played by Omari Hardwick), Power Book III is going to take fans to where it all began.
The upcoming drama will be a prequel about Ghost’s enemy and fellow drug dealer Kanan Stark (Curtis Jackson) growing up in the 1990s.
Power Book III is going to delve into how Kanan got involved in the drug world and became the man who many feared.

Is there a trailer for Power Book 3?
Yes, a trailer has now been released for the first season of Power Book III.
In the series of clips, a street mural of Kanan is seen who then morphs into his younger self, a role which will be played by Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day actor Mekai Curtis.
Jackson as Kanan is the narrator in the trailer who says: “You already know how my s**t ended, this is how it started.
“This is my story. This is a Southside, Jamaica Queens story.”
A series of photos from scenes in the upcoming drama are then shown, including actor Curtis as a young Kanan, actress Patina Miller as his mum Raq and numerous other characters who haven’t yet been introduced.
There are numerous references to the time period as well with the boom boxes, gold chain necklaces and plenty of 1990s fashion.
At the end of the trailer, it is then revealed the drama will come out sometime in 2021.
So far though, an exact release date hasn’t been announced for when Power Book III will premiere.
