The trailer for the fifth and final season of "Power Book III: Raising Kanan" reveals the return of Patina Miller as Raquel "Raq" Thomas, following the events of the Season 4 finale. The show, part of the broader "Power" universe, continues to explore the character's journey and impact within the narrative.

Coverage of the trailer's release varies among outlets. The Hollywood Reporter and Deadline emphasize the character's return and the implications for the storyline, framing it as a significant moment for fans.
