How many episodes are in Raising Kanan season 4?
Power Book III: Raising Kanan came back swinging in 2025, and if you're planning to catch up before the final season, the math is mercifully simple.
The short answer
10 episodes. Season 4 premiered on Starz on Friday, March 7, 2025, and rolled out weekly, one episode every Friday, wrapping in May 2025. Each episode runs roughly 52 to 59 minutes, so you're looking at around nine hours of viewing.
What season 4 covers
The season picks up after Kanan orchestrated the deaths of Ronnie and Detective Howard in the season 3 finale. The slate looks clean — Kanan's business is thriving, Raq is free of her old enemies, Lou is chasing music, and the federal case against Marvin has gone quiet. Then Unique (Joey Bada$$) comes back.
The premiere, "Gangstas Don't Die," directed by Mario Van Peebles, reveals that Unique survived the season 3 showdown — and spends his recovery fueled by pure vengeance. His secret return to power fractures everything between Kanan, Raq, and the rest of the Thomas family.
The season 4 count fits the whole series
Every season of Raising Kanan has run exactly 10 episodes:
- Season 1 (2021) — 10 episodes
- Season 2 (2022) — 10 episodes
- Season 3 (2023–24) — 10 episodes
- Season 4 (2025) — 10 episodes
Forty episodes total through season 4. MeKai Curtis and Patina Miller lead the returning cast, with season 4 newcomers including Chris Redd, Pardison Fontaine, Sibongile Mlambo, and Paul Ben-Victor.
Is there a season 5?
Yes — and it 's the last one. Starz renewed the show back in March 2024, confirmed in May 2025 that season 5 would end the series, and premiered it on June 12, 2026. The final season adds Leslie Grossman and Joe Pantoliano, the latter playing the head of the Manhattan mafia — the story that finally bridges young Kanan to the man 50 Cent played in the original Power.
Where to watch
All of season 4 streams on the Starz app and Starz add-ons through Hulu, Prime Video, and The Roku Channel — a Starz subscription is required either way.
Ten episodes per season, five seasons, one very bad kid from Queens. The whole prequel will clock in at exactly 50 episodes when it's done. Fitting.
