Power Book III: Raising Kanan, the relationship at its heart, between Raquel “Raq” Thomas (Patina Miller) and Kanan Stark (MeKai Curtis) takes fans on the most complicated personal ride.

Miller and Curtis spoke exclusively with ESSENCE ahead of the season 2 premiere of the hit STARZ crime drama, and talked about crafting a complicated yet authentic mother-son dynamic for their characters on screen. “You see these two people wanting to protect each other,” Miller said of season 1. “But one action from Raquel…has thrown everything out of alignment.
