Though Starz has just dropped a quick teaser trailer, when will the full season 2 trailer be released?
‘Raising Kanan’ Season 2 will debut August 14
The second season of Raising Kanan will debut this summer, and this time we are going to be focused on family ties. “It’s just the continuation of actions and consequences,” Curtis told Entertainment Weekly. “There’s going to be some stuff happening that, again, you’re going to see how it molds and shapes Kanan and what it does to his psyche. The family’s in an entirely new space and different dynamic now, so it’s them navigating that and figuring out where they can step, where they can’t step. It’s a lot of complicated things going on. It’s wild.”
Starz has also given fans a season 2 logline. It reads,
As we enter season two, Raquel ‘Raq’ Thomas has gained control over the city’s drug trade, but her son is slipping away. Kanan Stark returns to Queens uncertain of his future with the family business, and because of Detective Howard’s lingering secret, he’s even more uncertain of his past. Kanan searches for the truth while Raq boldly expands the business into hostile Mafia territory. Lou-Lou has other plans that revolve around his emerging record label, but Raq isn’t about to let his side hustle get in the way of her expansion. Although Marvin remains Raq’s loyal soldier, he struggles to earn Jukebox’s forgiveness and become the father she deserves. The ties that bind this family are becoming undone, but Raq will stop at nothing to hold them together.

While the teaser trailer reveals what’s coming next, there is so much unsaid about the second season of Raising Kanan. Fans are anticipating the full trailer which should give fans an even broader idea of what we can expect to see this season.
In the teaser, it appears that there is a time jump of about a year and that Kanan has been living away from his mother and Queens for that time. The full trailer will likely illustrate where he’s been and how Symphony (Toby Sandeman) aided him and Raq during that time.
Moreover, there are some main characters that are absent from the teaser including Unique (Joey Bada$$) and Famous (Antonio Ortiz).
Also, there are several brand-new characters that we have yet to see. As we move closer to the release date likely in mid-July which will be about a month away from the premiere we will get a release date.
