Patina Miller Talks Raq’s Big Lie & Kanan’s Betrayal & More | Raising Kanan Season 5

Patina Miller joins us to discuss playing Raquel “Raq” Thomas in Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 5, premiering June 12 on STARZ. In this interview, Patina talks about carrying the weight of one of television’s biggest cliffhangers, keeping Raq’s fate a secret, and how fans, friends and even family reacted after the Season 4 finale. She also opens up about Raq’s complicated position in Season 5 as she deals with grief, family loyalty, and the fallout of protecting Kanan. We discuss Raq’s fractured relationship with Kanan, the emotional cost of covering up the truth, the ripple effect of lies within the Thomas family, and why Raq still chooses to protect her son even when their bond has been pushed to its breaking point. Patina also reflects on Raq trying to keep the family together while Marvin, Jukebox and everyone around her are dealing with the consequences of what happened. ABOUT POWER BOOK III: RAISING KANAN SEASON 5: Kanan Stark’s journey over the last four seasons has been fraught 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 #PatinaMiller #PowerBookIII
