Patina Miller Celebrates ‘Raising Kanan’ Season 4 at PopViewers’ ‘Vibes & Views’
This week, Dumbo House in Brooklyn was buzzing as PopViewers and Starz joined forces to celebrate the highly anticipated Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 4 premiere. With Loverboy Spritz keeping the drinks flowing, the event was standing room only—packed with die-hard fans, industry heavyweights, and top creatives, all eager to experience the next explosive chapter of the Power universe.
The night kicked off with an exclusive screening of Episode 2, igniting excitement throughout the room. But the real highlight? A deep-dive conversation led by the woman of the hour, Patina Miller, who took center stage to break down the series, her powerhouse character, and what’s next for Raq. The energy was electric, the vibes were unmatched, and one thing was clear—Raising Kanan Season 4 is about to be must-watch TV.
Patina Miller: The Icon of The Night
Patina Miller isn’t just a star—she’s a force. A Grammy and Tony Award-winning powerhouse, Miller commands the screen as Raquel “Raq” Thomas, the fierce and calculating drug queenpin at the heart of Raising Kanan. Known for her electrifying Broadway performances in Sister Act (Tony-nominated), Pippin (Tony-winning), and Into the Woods, she’s long proven she can own any stage. But her brilliance isn’t confined to theater—she’s captivated TV audiences inMadam Secretary and now, in her most groundbreaking role yet, as the formidable Raq in Raising Kanan.
“I’ve always wanted this,” Miller shared in her Vibes & Views interview with Chris Witherspoon. “I always wanted to be something, and I didn’t know how I was going to do it at first. My mom had me at 15, and a lot of people told me, ‘You’re going to follow the same path.’ I wanted to prove them wrong.”
And prove them wrong, she did. For nearly two decades, Miller has shattered expectations, redefining what’s possible and carving out a career filled with limitless potential.
“My life has literally been a series of moments proving that anything is possible,” she added. “And the one thing I’ve never wavered on? Working hard. I believe in earning everything in my life.”
From Broadway to primetime, Miller isn’t just making moves—she’s making history.
The Rise of Kanan and Season 4 Premise
As the series enters its fourth season, viewers witness a more confident, ruthless Kanan Stark (played by MeKai Curtis), who is stepping out of his mother’s shadow and embracing his own path in the dangerous world of drug dealing. This season delves deeper into Kanan’s journey as he navigates the complexities of family, power, and loyalty, with his strained relationship with Raquel intensifying.
The pressure is on as the Thomas family empire reaches new heights, introducing formidable new players like legendary street figures Snaps (Wendell Pierce), Pop (Erika Woods), and ruthless Italian mob boss Stefano Marchetti (Tony Danza). But just as things seem to settle, chaos comes knocking—Unique (Joey Bada$$) is back, and his thirst for revenge threatens to dismantle everything Raq has built.
As for what’s next for Raquel Thomas, Patina Miller shared her personal hopes for the character’s journey:
“I just want her to be happy, really. That’s it,” Miller revealed. “She spends so much time putting out fires, constantly fighting to keep things together—it’s heartbreaking. She’s always teetering on the edge, never knowing if it’ll all last, always having to watch her back. I think she thrives in that chaos, but I’d love to see her have a happy ending. She deserves it—she deserves a soft life.”
