‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan‘ is now casting talent in New York City.
‘Power’ casting directors are now hiring actors, models, and talent to work on scenes filming in New York City starting this February 2020. Producers are looking for babies, background actors, photo doubles, stand-ins, and other positions for acting jobs as the show films throughout NYC.
About ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan’:
“Power Book II: Raising Kanan,” “Power Book IV: Influence” and “Power Book V: Force” are the newest collection of series’ that will proceed to discuss the stories and watch the lives of old and new characters within the “Power” landscape.
“Raising Kanan” is a prequel set in the ‘90s during the early years of “Power” character Kanan Stark, played by 50 Cent. “Influence” will follow Rashad Tate (Larenz Tate) in his pursuit of political power as he runs for governor. Finally, “Force” centers on Tommy Egan after he cuts ties and puts New York in his rearview mirror for good, as he heads for California.
Jeffrey Hirsch, President & CEO of Starz, had this to say regarding the new projects:
“In television history, only a select few shows have inspired four consecutive series extensions, launched into active production and development at the same time. These new and exciting chapters will continue the journey of some of the show’s most controversial characters while featuring a growing ensemble of complex, distinct characters along with the high-octane drama that set ‘Power’ in a class of its own.”
