Sascha Penn Speaks On Patina Miller's Status Following ‘Power Book III: Raising Kanan' Season 4 Finale Cliffhanger
Source: Starz / Power Book III: Raising Kanan / Patina Miller Power Book III: Raising Kanan left us with a cliffhanger involving one of its main characters, and according to Deadline , we shouldn't expect this character to return for the show's fifth and final season. Spoiler alert if you haven't seen Raising Kanan's season 4 finale, 'Gimme The Weight.' The street got plenty of bodies in the season 4 finale, setting up what could be a very explosive fifth and final season for Power Book III: Raising Kanan . When the show returns, one of its lead stars won't be back, and it's none other than Patina Miller, who plays our favorite hustling mama, Raquel Thomas, aka Raq, the website reports. This pretty much confirms what we all feared when the screen fades to black with her son Kanan (MeKai Curtis) pointing a gun at her and we hear one single gunshot. Deadline spoke with series showrunner Sascha Penn and Miller about the season finale and Raq's apparent fate. Per Deadline : Raq accepts her fate like a G, maybe even welcomes it. The episode, 'Gimme the Weight,' written by series creator Sascha Penn, gave her the saddest yet most perfect ending. Raq never shied away from her destiny. When I spoke with Penn this week about Miller's exit, wanting a confirmation that her character is dead and gone, he answered, 'No one is safe, Rosy. Nobody is safe.' Penn continued, 'One of the things we talk about a lot, both on Raising Kanan and also with Power in general, is the existence of characters by proxy. This means that their presence is felt even if they aren't there in the physical sense, so to speak. Raq has left an indelible mark on the family, so if she's not there, we'll still feel her presence if we don't see her. And that's how we do it.' Miller added, 'I've loved [playing Raq], it's been a role of a lifetime. I have loved playing this character. I have loved being able to shape her and do all of the things an actor wants to do with a character. To tell a story from Season 1 all the way to Season 4, not many actors get that opportunity in shows these days. It was a luxury to be part of a long-running show. I've been fortunate and blessed to bring my skill, if you will, and all of the things that I like to bring to my work, to this character, and I've worked incredibly hard. I'm incredibly proud of the work, working with this group, the cast, and the crew. It's really one of my favorite shows I've ever had the opportunity to work on, and one of my favorite experiences. I've learned so much.' Damn. The Streets, aka Social Media, Are Not Happy About Raq's Fate As you can imagine, Power fans were not happy to learn that one of their favorite characters' time running the streets of Southside Jamaica, Queens, had apparently ended. Damn Raq, say it ain't so. You can see more reactions in the gallery below.
