Shameik Moore Officially Joins “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” as Breeze in Explosive Season 4 Finale
Fans of the Power Universe finally got their long-awaited introduction to Branford “Breeze” Frady in the Season 4 finale of Power Book III: Raising Kanan. The iconic character, referenced as early as Season 1 of the original Power series, made his long-anticipated debut played by acclaimed actor and musician Shameik Moore.
Known for voicing Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and starring as Raekwon in Wu-Tang: An American Saga, Moore brings star power and depth to the role. His addition sets the stage for a high-stakes final season as STARZ officially confirms that Season 5 will be the series’ last.
The Introduction of Breeze: A Pivotal Power Universe Moment
In the thrilling Season 4 finale, Breeze is introduced by street legends “Snaps” (Wendell Pierce) and “Pop” (Erika Woods), who present him to Kanan Stark (MeKai Curtis). Their meeting hints at a partnership that could redefine the power dynamics in Jamaica, Queens.
Series creator and showrunner Sascha Penn noted,
“It was always my intention that Raising Kanan would run for five seasons… There is still an exceptionally intense and action-packed season left, and the stakes have never been higher.”
Shameik Moore on Playing Breeze: “It’s Gonna Be a Wild Ride”

“The Power Universe fans have been patiently anticipating this moment, and I’m honored to step into the iconic role of Breeze. It was a fun challenge to find Breeze’s unique identity, and I can’t wait for fans to see how he shifts the story’s dynamics.”
The introduction of Breeze not only deepens Kanan’s journey but also creates a powerful link between the prequel and the original Power series—where Breeze was once boss to Kanan, James “Ghost” St. Patrick, and Tommy Egan.
