About the show:
Set in South Jamaica, Queens, in 1991, Raising Kanan is a prequel to the original Power franchise. This family drama revolves around the coming of age of Kanan Stark, the 15-year-old child of Raq Thomas, a cocaine distributor with an emerging network of dealers across NYC. Raising Kanan explores themes of identity, violence, and legacy, but it also takes a deep dive into the pathology of family, discovering that those closest to us are the ones who betray us most. Season one explores these betrayals, secrets, and lies and the ways in which they fester, metastasize and ultimately erupt.
