Power Book III: Raising Kanan will take us back to where it all began, telling the story of how Kanan Stark (played by Curtis Jackson), James Ghost St Patrick (Omari Hardwick) and Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora) came to be involved in the drug world. The Starz prequel will give fans an insight into how the former friends eventually became enemies, starting off with their days in high school. Another key character to play a major role in Raising Kanan is the titular character s cousin Jukebox (Anika Noni Rose).
WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Power.
Kanan, Ghost and Tommy Egan (Ethan Cutkosky) developed a bond as they were taken under the wing of Breeze, a notorious drug dealer in New York.
The kingpin got all of them into the drug trade and was a major influence on all of their lives.
Breeze wasn t in the original Power drama but he should be in Raising Kanan as it focuses on the trio when they were just starting out.
This will be the first time Breeze will be seen on screen as he has only ever been talked about in the drama.
