Raising Kanan Season 1 Isn't Over Yet, but We Already Have a Few Details About Next Season

Though the official plot for season two hasn’t been revealed yet, it’s clear that the second season will dive even deeper into Kanan’s backstory and possibly start bridging the gap between the prequel and Power. “One season isn’t enough to tell the coming-of-age story of Kanan Stark and his mother, Raq, a fierce and successful woman who is a force of nature,” Jeffrey Hirsch, president and CEO of Starz, previously said in a statement about the show’s renewal. “The anticipation globally for more of the Power Universe made it clear that the Kanan story needs to continue.” The upcoming season one finale on Sept. 19 will likely give us an even better idea about what to expect in season two.

Patina Miller, Mekai Curtis, Omar Epps, Malcolm Mays, Joey Bada$$, Toby Sandeman, Shanley Caswell, Quincy Brown, and Antonio Ortiz are all expected to return next season. There are also a few new additions to the cast, including Omar Dorsey as a businessman named Cartier “Duns” Fareed, LeToya Luckett as Jukebox’s mom, Krystal Joy Brown as Marvin’s anger-management therapist, and Paulina Singer as a rising singer at Lou and Crown’s label.

A release date hasn’t been confirmed, but many NY locals have reported that filming for the second season kicked off in July. Seeing that season one premiered in July, we could be looking at another summer release date.
