Season 2 of Power Book III: Raising Kanan left viewers on the edge of their seats. The intense shootout between the Italians and the Thomas family has flipped the script for each character, giving us a new perspective on who they truly are.

Suspense continues to hang in the air as we await the fallout from this explosive event, which we’ll see in Season 3.

The cast sat down and spoke with Onsite!, sharing details and giving us a sneak peek into what viewers can expect in this upcoming season.

Shanley Caswell Talks Detective Burke’s Role

Shanley Caswell, who plays Detective Burke in the series, talked about her character’s journey. In the show, Detective Burke is adamant about finding the truth about her partner Howard’s connection to the Thomas family.

Caswell told us,

“You will see more of that in Season 3, and we will see the consequences of that for her as well.”

She also revealed that finding her niche within her character was a challenge.

“She’s (Detective Burke) very strong-willed and puts her foot down to stand up for what’s right, and I think that’s something I’m not used to. Having the authority too, where she’s a detective, she needs to tell people what to do… that’s something I had to learn.”

Joey Bada$$ Talks Unique’s Role

Joey Bada$$, also known as Unique on screen, delved into his character as a cunning drug dealer. Upon receiving the role, Joey revealed that he wasn’t initially thrilled about it.

“For a long time, I did not want to play a role like this, and the reason being is that I didn’t want to get stereotyped too early in my career.”

He went on to say,

“This is a role that resonates with me deeply. It’s extremely relatable to me and my upbringing… I was really close to this side of things and I feel like I was able to bring a lot of my real-life experiences to this character.”

We see a shift in Unique’s character, from ruthless to empathetic and a comrade for Patina Miller’s character, Raquel Thomas. Season 3 is out now, and the hit series has been renewed for its fourth season.
