Season 2 is currently being filmed in New York and executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has hinted at what’s to come. He teased that the elusive Breeze, a young Ghost, and a young Tommy could appear in the latter half of season 2. “Those characters could possibly pop up in Raising Kanan,” 50 Cent told Express. “We’re already on a journey, it explains the monster you saw in me playing Kanan. The trauma, everything he’s gone through.”
