The third and final season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan premieres June 12 on Starz. Kanan Stark’s journey over the last four seasons has been fraught with ambition, betrayal and relentless attempts to escape his mother’s shadow. He once looked up to Raq, eager to join her empire, but he soon learned the truth about who she really was and the secrets she was hiding from him.

Although he embraced his true self, and broke free from his mother’s influence, he still couldn’t let her crimes go unanswered. Now, in Season Five, Kanan’s true ruthlessness takes shape. He knows exactly who he is and who he must become to defeat his enemies. Kanan solidifies his place in the Queens drug business alongside Southside legend Breeze, and their alliance sets the stage for a reckoning that will ripple through every player in this dangerous game. Whether it’s the Thomas family facing the collapse of their reign, Unique fighting to preserve his legacy or the Mafia maneuvering behind the scenes, many sacrifices will be made. However, nothing will stand in the way of Kanan’s pursuit of power. After all, this isn’t the end for Kanan Stark. It’s just the beginning.

Paul Wesley has been cast in the upcoming third season of The Buccaneers. Wesley will play the role as Frank, a mysterious but charming stranger who arrives into Nan and Mrs. St. George’s world, turning it upside down. In the first season, a group of fun-loving young American girls exploded into the tightly corseted London of the 1870s, setting hearts racing and kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash. Season two saw these American whirlwinds battling love, heartbreak, motherhood, jealousy and the full force of the English legal system. In season three our Buccaneers are fighting back. And they’re doing it together. When they arrived in England, they were all navigating their first loves. Now, they’re looking for the loves of their lives. And with a new and enigmatic Duke at the helm, Tintagel is also facing an uncertain future. If polite English society thought our American girls rocked the boat, this new bad-boy Duke is about to sink the ship.
Dandelion, the debut work by Gintama creator Hideaki Sorachi, is officially being adapted into a Netflix series, streaming this April 2026. Set within the Send-Off Department of the Japanese Angel Federation, Dandelion follows “Angels” Tetsuo Tanba and Misaki Kurogane as they scramble to track down Earthbound spirits – souls unable to move on and find peace – and gently guide them to pass on. The angels find themselves struggling to meet their daily tasks. However, Tetsuo Tanba and his leader, Misaki Kurogane, who make up the 21st Division’s Dandelion Clan, chose to take things at their own pace: instead of rushing through cases, they take time with each spirit, listening to their regrets and helping them resolve what’s holding them back. One day, they encounter the Earthbound spirit of an elderly man who is running at full speed, trying desperately to escape. At the heart of the story are its two leads: Tetsuo Tanba, a foul-mouthed man with a constant scowl who may seem apathetic at first glance, but shows deep compassion as he listens and offers support to spirits; and Misaki Kurogane, the leader of the 21st Division’s Dandelion Clan. Despite her youthful, girl-like appearance, Misaki is a formidable force, rumored to have even laid to rest the legendary soul of Musashi Miyamoto. Blending humor with uniquely crafted characters, the story carries the same creative DNA that would later define Gintama.
