Shameik Moore & Wendell Pierce Talk Breeze’s Power Move | Raising Kanan Season 5

Shameik Moore and Wendell Pierce join us to discuss Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 5, premiering June 12 on STARZ. Shameik Moore plays Branford “Breeze” Frady, the long-awaited Southside figure whose arrival has been one of the biggest moments fans have been waiting for in the Power Universe. Wendell Pierce plays Snaps, one of the OG forces helping shape the world around Breeze, Pop and Kanan as the game changes in Queens. In this interview, Shameik talks about the pressure and responsibility of bringing Breeze to life, knowing how much fans have been anticipating the character’s introduction. He discusses stepping into the Power Universe, giving everything to the performance, and making every second of screen time count. Wendell Pierce also breaks down the dynamic between Breeze, Snaps and Pop, explaining why Breeze is the “tip of the spear” while the OGs remain the support system behind him. Together, they discuss power, family, protection, old-school authority, and what it means when Breeze says the clock is running out on the old guard. We also talk about Taz, Breeze’s circle, and why not knowing your position in this world can become dangerous very quickly. Wendell also gives major praise to Shameik Moore’s performance and Patina Miller’s work as Raq, calling out the level of acting happening across the final season. ABOUT POWER BOOK III: RAISING KANAN SEASON 5: Kanan Stark’s journey over the last four seasons has been filled with ambition, betrayal and relentless attempts to escape his mother’s shadow. Now, in Season 5, 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, played by Shameik Moore, and their alliance sets the stage for a reckoning that will ripple through every player in this dangerous game. Whether it is 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. Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 5 premieres Friday, June 12 at midnight on the STARZ app and at 8:00 PM ET/PT on STARZ. #RaisingKanan #ShameikMoore #WendellPierce
