Power is one of the most popular franchises that Starz has in store, and they’re betting big on its future. The third season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan recently ended its run on Starz, and this series has been given an early Season 5 renewal.

The fourth season of Raising Kanan is yet to air on Starz since it’s currently in production in New York, but the network bosses have no doubt that it will be a success. The journey of everyone’s favorite Power villain Kanan Stark will continue in the upcoming fifth season.

Kathryn Busby, president of original programming for Starz, confirmed the show’s renewal and added they’re looking forward to seeing this story intersect with others in the Power universe.

“We know that our fans can’t get enough of Raising Kanan. As the inevitable evolution of this young man into a killer plays out, we knew we had much more backstory to share in this ever-escalating family saga,” said Busby in a statement.

Renewing Raising Kanan for the fifth season is a huge step for Starz since they’re mostly focusing on creating new spin-offs instead of letting the existing shows run for too long. They’ve recently announced Ghost and Tommy prequel series Power: Origins and canceled Power Book II: Ghost after four seasons.
