Storyline of Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 4: What it able to be about?
The story is set in Queens, South Jamaica, New York and follows 15 year old Kanan Stark whose family runs a prominent drug business and is lead by the charismatic “Raquel “Raq” Thomas, who is the queenpin of the New York City drug cartel, alongside her brothers Marwin and Lou-Lou
Kanan is the heir of his family’s dung business but wants to make a name for himself in the hood, before taking over the business from his mother. But Raq does not want Kanan to get involved in the drug business and live a normal life, despite him being drawn to the allure of the money and drugs.
But despite prevention from Raq, Kanan still continues to be curious about the family business and upon being kept out of the business by his mother, grows close to rival gang leader Unique who soon becomes a sort of mentor figure to him.
Under Unique’s guidance Kanan begins to learn the nuances of the business and how ruthless one needs to be to survive in the drug business and life. Throughout the series we see Kanan trying his best to get out of his mother’s shadow and make a name for himself.
Kanan’s character development is one of the most iconic character developments, as we see him from being an immature teenager of the good to being a man who understands how to deal with rivals and friends, how to reward loyalty and punish betrayal and how every decision he makes has its consequences.
What happened at the end of Power Book III: Raising Kanan previous season?
Season 2 ended with several questions unanswered and left the audiences amazed and wanting more. Here’s how it concluded:
The Final episode reveals that it was Marvin who was responsible for the death of Sam, a former accountant, Raq and Unique’s meeting sparks an attraction among the rival drug dealers which came as a surprise to fans judging by the tense relationship and positions they are in.
Kanan steals drugs from his mother’s operation which is viewed by Raq as an open betrayal and puts them at odds with one another.
Sal, another mob boss, launches an assault on Raq’s operations as revenge for the death of his son. As the Season 2 ends with Raq’s fate left unknown.
What will be going to happen in Season 4 with expectations and spoilers?
A lot happened in Season 3 and some events shocked the entire Fandom. Following up upon what happened in Season 3 here is what to expect out of Season 4 The new season will see Kanan suffering from all the violence around him as he questions his actions and why he is suffering from its consequences.
Kanan questions the morality of his actions and whether he should continue or quit.
With Lou-Lou and Marvin becoming untrustworthy in the eyes of Raq, Season 4 sees her go against the rival gangs alone, will she perish or survive alone is a question that will be answered in the new Season.
Unique is killed by his brother Ronnie who looks to gain control over the business of Unique and emerge as a rival to Raq. If you are expecting Unique to not be dead and somehow survive after he was left listless after being beaten up by Ronnie.
Then unfortunately I have to inform you that it’s confirmed that it was Unique’s last appearance in the series by Joey Bada$$ who plays the role of Unique.
With the death of Unique his love story with Raq also comes to an end, as Raq is ultimately left alone with no one by her side.
