If Starz continues to have this level of faith in Raising Kanan, this could speed up potential future release dates as well.

For now, at least, there has been no talk of a third season on the US network.Starz president and CEO Jeffrey Hirsch said: "One season isn't enough to tell the coming of age story of Kanan Stark and his mother, Raq, a fierce and successful woman who is a force of nature.

"The anticipation globally for more of the Power Universe made it clear that the Kanan story needs to continue."
