Six decades ago, Carnegie Hall bore witness to a musical revolution as the vibrant sounds of Bossa Nova's budding Brazilian talents graced its stage for the very first time. That pivotal moment, rich with cultural significance, ignited a musical movement that would shape the course of history.

The new season will include Tony Danza reprising his role of Italian mobster Stefano Marchetti, and of course, returning series regulars including the formidable Patina Miller as “Raquel Thomas” and MeKai Curtis in the titular role of “Kanan Stark.” Broadway alum Hailey Kilgore will also return to the series as “Jukebox.”

Set in the early 1990’s, the third series in the “Power” Universe tells the story of “Kanan Stark,” and his entry into the criminal world through his mother, who runs the family’s drug empire. It stars MeKai Curtis in the role of “Kanan” and Tony Award winner Patina Miller (Into the Woods, “Madam Secretary”) as his mother, Raquel “Raq” Thomas.
