STARZ DECEMBER 2023 HIGHLIGHTS
POWER BOOK III: RAISING KANAN SEASON 3
Power Book III: Raising Kanan returns for its third season on Friday, December 1 with new episodes all month long, available Fridays at midnight (ET) on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms. On linear, they will air on STARZ at 8:00PM ET/PT in the U.S. and Canada.
Over the last two seasons of Raising Kanan, Kanan Stark has slowly learned the truth about not only his mother, but also himself. It has been a tortuous journey for him and everyone around him.
With each new revelation, Kanan has been forced to confront his family’s seemingly never-ending web of secrets and lies. He has spent much of this time in a state of denial, but now, Kanan’s blinders are finally off, and he doesn’t like what he sees.
In season three, Kanan finds himself grappling with the very notions of right and wrong. Good and evil. Fidelity and disloyalty. And he’s not alone. Every member of the Thomas family must confront an existential crisis that challenges their very identity.
Whether it’s Marvin, who’s still trying to redeem himself, or Raq, who’s finally coming clean, or Lou, who’s wrestling with his own evil, or Jukebox, who’s simply trying to break free from her family’s pathology, they are all attempting to redefine and reinvent themselves.
They won’t all be able to complete this intensely personal quest, but for those who do, the destination may reveal the most terrifying secret of all. There is no right and wrong or good and evil. There are no absolutes. In the end, there’s just you.
SHINING VALE SEASON 2
Shining Vale concludes its second season on Friday, December 1 with the season finale available at midnight ET on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms. On linear, it will air on STARZ at 9PM ET/PT in the U.S. and Canada.
In season two of Shining Vale, Pat is released from the psychiatric hospital early when her insurance runs out. She returns home, determined to pick up the pieces of her broken family, but quickly finds out her children don’t need her, Terry doesn’t remember her and to make matters worse, Pat’s new neighbor Ruth looks exactly like Rosemary.
Meanwhile, the house starts to reveal the shocking secrets of its dark past. Every mother feels like they live in an insane asylum, but Pat may be right!
