Raising Kanan sees a younger version of 50 Cent’s character navigating his bumpy entry into the drug world while juggling the monopoly his mother, Raq (Patina Miller), has already built, and his relationship with his father, Howard (Omar Epps), a detective.

“We always felt like Kanan was a product of the people he was around growing up — the notion of that takes a village. And so each season is a cornerstone in terms of who Kanan will eventually become when fully realized by 50 Cent in the original Power,” Penn said of how the previous installment builds Power universe. “Each season we try to understand more and more how he becomes what he has become. So I think this season is another part of that story.”
