“Power Book III: Raising Kanan” has scored an early renewal for Season 4 at Starz.

The news comes ahead of the Season 3 premiere, which is due to debut on Starz on Dec. 1. Production is now underway on Season 4 in New York.

“We’re thrilled to continue Kanan Stark’s story, and for fans to see how the events of his formative adolescent years continue to mold him into the cold-hearted villain they were first introduced to in ‘Power,'” said Kathryn Busby, president of original programming for Starz. “We are quite sure that after viewers see the battle lines being drawn between Raq and Kanan on this epic upcoming third season that they will demand more.”
