Family is everything on Starz's Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and it seems that sentiment has been fully embraced by the show's cast. While there may be friction between Patina Miller's Raquel Thomas and Joey Bada$$'s Unique as they fight for control of South Jamaica, Queens, NY, off screen it's all love. From Hailey Kilgore (Jukebox), Annabelle Zasowski (Nicole Bingham), and Natalee Linez (Jessica Figueroa) enjoying a "ladies night out" to Mekai Curtis (Kanan Stark) and Antonio Ortiz (Shawn "Famous" Figueroa) competing in a push-up contest, the group knows how to have a good time. Ahead, you can see pictures of the cast hanging out, including between takes of Power Book III and at the show's premiere.

Laverne “Jukebox” Ganner is a fascinating and complicated character on Starz’s franchise prequel Power Book III: Raising Kanan. And Hailey Kilgore, the Broadway actress who plays her, hopes fans can accept and embrace her beyond being gay.

The crime-family drama will further explore Jukebox’s blossoming relationship with Nicole (played by Annabelle Zasowski, Divorce), a rich white girl she met in choir, when the show airs this Sunday at 8/7c. That said, Kilgore and series’ creator, Sascha Penn, pushed to make sure the exploration feels fleshed-out and layered to delineate where Laverne stops and Jukebox begins.

Seeing as Starz's Power Book III: Raising Kanan was renewed for a season two ahead of its premiere, we think it's safe to say that expectations for the show were already high. Partially inspired by executive producer 50 Cent's childhood, the series follows 15-year-old Kanan Stark's life in 1991 Queens, NY. We also get to see how he becomes Ghost's rival and the antagonist of Power, all the while discovering what it is that made him join in on the family business. The recurring cast includes Quincy Brown as Crown Camacho, Ade Chike Torbert as Scrappy, Natalee Linez as Jessica Figueroa, and Annabelle Zasowski as Nicole Bingham. From Mekai Curtis as the perfect younger version of the 50 Cent character to several Broadway stars, including Patina Miller and Hailey Kilgore, you can see the main cast ahead.

The third series in the Power universe will receive its debut this summer.

Starz on Monday announced that Power Book III would arrive on the premium cabler Sunday, July 18.

The prequel takes viewers back to the ‘90s and the early years of the now-deceased iconic character Kanan Stark, portrayed by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson in the original series from Courtney A. Kemp and Jackson.

Starring as series regulars are Mekai Curtis as the young Kanan Stark, Patina Miller as Kanan’s mother Raquel “Raq” Thomas, Omar Epps as Detective Malcolm Howard, London Brown as Marvin Thomas, Malcolm Mays as Louis “Lou-Lou” Thomas, Shanley Caswell as Detective Shannon Burke, Lovie Simone as Davina Harrison, Toby Sandeman as Symphony Bosket, Joey Bada$$ as Unique, and Hailey Kilgore as Jukebox.
