While waiting for more Power Book III: Raising Kanan or Rising Kanan Season 2. The prequel focusing on Kanan Stark, Starz has kept us occupied with lots of Power content. But that doesn't lessen our eagerness for its comeback.

Kanan's ascension before his horrific death in Power is chronicled in the 1990s-set series. Kanan is only 15 years old when he joins his family's criminal enterprise. Further pushing him to mature quickly and become the man he aspires to be. The program has been filming Rising Kanan Season 2 since before the first was completed. But there appears to be a slight delay in bringing it to the air.
