On New Year’s Day, Brooklyn rapper Joey Bada$$ took aim at Kendrick Lamar with a track called “The Ruler’s Back.” Kendrick has yet to respond, but Tde rapper Ray Vaughn, Tde affiliate Daylyt, and other West Coasters have spent much of 2025 shooting back at Bada$$ in his stead. After a contentious week of back-and-forth dissing, most think Bada$$ has held his own against the onslaught of disses.

In this day and age of peak(ish) TV, it’s not unusual for a series to cap a season with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger. But the third season of the Starz hit Power Book III: Raising Kanan dropped one and then some.

“I don’t think anyone was ready for how it ended,” star Patina Miller told The Hollywood Reporter during a special event in partnership with Starz in Park City, Utah, during the Sundance Film Festival in January. “It literally ended on two bangs.”

Two bangs followed by two bodies hitting the floor to close out a wild and action-packed third season. The fourth is locked and loaded and ready to roll out on March 7, and ahead of its debut Miller joined showrunner, executive producer and Power guru Sascha Penn, title star Mekai Curtis and the one and only Tony Danza for a compliment-filled panel discussion at Pendry Park City.

Starz released today the explosive trailer for season four of Power Book III: Raising Kanan, which premieres Friday, March 7. New episodes of the unpredictable, star-studded and action-packed drama will be available to stream weekly on Fridays on the Starz app and all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms.

The captivating new trailer shows a more confident Kanan (MeKai Curtis) continuing to step out of the shadow of his formidable mother, drug queen pin Raquel Thomas (Patina Miller), as she questions if she can trust her son and business partner.

The two continue to expand their drug empire, working with street legends “Snaps” (Wendell Pierce) and “Pop” (Erika Woods) and Italian mob boss Stefano Marchetti (Tony Danza), all while a resurrected “Unique” (Joey Bada$$) is working in the shadows, looking for vengeance against those he believes wronged him.

Season three of Power Book III: Raising Kanan averaged over 9 million viewers per episode,...

On Tuesday, less than a month before the season four premiere on March 7, Starz dropped a trailer for the new batch of episodes of Power Book III: Raising Kanan. It opens with the title character, Kanan Stark, played by Mekai Curtis, fielding questions about identity and pondering exactly who he wants to be in the shadow of his powerhouse mother, Raq, played by Patina Miller.

Who can blame him after that explosive season three finale that ended in a bloodbath and brought mother and son face to face with the realization that they may be much more alike than they previously thought. “I want them to see me as me, not who my mother is,” Kanan says in the new clip.

As it unfolds, the trailer shows a more confident Kanan paving his way in business while Raq questions if she can trust her son in blood and business. As...

Taking cues from The Cosby Show’s iconic spinoff A Different World but updated for some 30 years later, Grown-ish, the Black-ish spawn premiered on Freeform in January 2018 by following Yara Shahidi’s Zoey Johnson, Dre (Anthony Anderson) and Bow’s (Tracee Ellis Ross) firstborn, to college. Similar to its predecessor, Grown-ish tackled many controversial topics, including university investment in the prison system, drug use, pre-nil exploitation of college athletes, sex, the value of college and more, but did so with a fresh voice and perspective.

Zoey’s college world included her competing love interests — woke Black campus activist Aaron (Trevor Jackson) and ultimate hipster Luca (Luka Sabbat) — as well as Latina Republican Ana (Francia Raìsa), Jewish rebel Nomi (Emily Arlook), first-generation Indian American and all-around hustler Vivek (Jordan Buhat), Olympic-bound South Los Angeles track stars Jazz and Sky (sisters Chloe and Halle Bailey, who perform the show’s theme song) and later,...

As decades pass, it’s become clear that Brandy and Monica’s 1998 stare-down, “The Boy Is Mine,” wasn’t just a ubiquitous song and video in its day.

Contestants covered it on The Voice, Ariana Grande remade it on Eternal Sunshine, and the debate over whether the two singers in it were really in a feud or not is a movie waiting to be made.

Starz announced today that its hit drama series, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, has been renewed for a fifth season. The third installment in the Power franchise, Raising Kanan, recently concluded its explosive third season and is currently filming season four in New York.

Busby added: “As we continue to expand the storytelling within the Power universe, we’re looking forward to how this story may intersect with other Power characters during this prequel era.”

“Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” the third “book” in the growing “Power Universe” on Starz, has been renewed for a second season ahead of its debut on July 18. The prequel’s greenlight comes amidst strong demand for spinoffs of rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s original “Power” show, which currently holds an average critics score of 81% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

“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,” said Jeffrey Hirsch, President and CEO of Starz, in a statement. “The anticipation globally for more of the ‘Power’ Universe made it clear that the Kanan story needs to continue.”
