'Elevating Kanan' stars Mekai Curtis and Patina Miller spoke EXCLUSIVELY with HL and teased the potential aftermath of Kanan discovering out that Howard's his father and extra season 2 scoop.
The cracks inside the Thomas household are solely going to widen in Energy Guide III: Elevating Kanan season 2. Raq has nonetheless not revealed to Kanan that Det. Howard is his father. And now, Howard has survived the hit Raq positioned on him — by the hands of Kanan, no much less — which can inevitably trigger issues for Raq. HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with MeKai Curtis and Patina Miller about how Kanan might react if he does study the reality.
“That can change issues rather a lot for certain. Raq is Kanan’s world, and all the pieces that Raq has informed Kanan up till this level he has believed along with his total coronary heart,” MeKai informed HollywoodLife in the course of the present’s season 2 junket. “So for him to search out out that Def Con wouldn’t be his father would change lots of issues and make Kanan query principally all the pieces about his relationship with Raq and even Raq herself. That can change lots of issues. That’s the kind of realm that relationship falls into [in season 2].”
Patina added, “All the pieces that he’s tried to stay as much as has been making an attempt to stay as much as not simply as mother however who his father was, proper? Def Con and the entire decisions that he’s grappling with, and one is about I’m Def Con’s son, so to search out out that’s really not it, that’s an enormous ole factor. And for Raq, the stakes couldn't be increased for that. First off, discovering out that he’s the son of a cop places them each in a really unsafe area. I imply, Raq kind of handled this in a method the place she didn’t need that to be the key, however that’s only a secret. She’s needed to hold them secure, hold each of them secure. It doesn’t justify what she’s doing now, however I believe their relationship might be examined, and it will be examined. If he finds out, that simply places an entire different layer of chaos that she simply doesn't have time for proper now.”
On the finish of season 1, neither Raq nor Kanan knew that Howard is alive. Kanan promised his mom that he completed the job, however he regarded skeptical from the second she requested. Patina famous that each Raq and Kanan will discover out quickly sufficient, however Raq’s not scared about Howard nonetheless kicking.
“It’s about how she retains the key, how she maneuvers inside that to ensure that he by no means tells. Will she let him inform? Will she not? So I believe it’s simply an uncomfortable place for her, and it’s one which’s going to play out and that individuals must simply watch, however Kanan is coming again to city, Howard is alive. There’s this lots of juiciness,” Patina teased.
The fracture between Raq and Kanan finally began again within the first season ever since he determined to “spin the world into chaos” by following in her footsteps. From the beginning, Raq hasn’t ever been in a position to totally belief her son in dealings along with her line of labor. Now that the stakes are even increased, that reality goes to place stress on the mother-son relationship as they each attempt to defend the opposite.
“Now we’re on this face of she doesn’t want Kanan to guard her, and that’s the factor that she’s all the time saying is like, ‘I don’t want you to guard me. That’s not your job to guard me.’ That’s simply the best way she feels about it, so she’s kind of like ‘I’m doing the protective.’ All of that was what the primary season was about, them going by way of this journey of defending each other.” Elevating Kanan season 2 airs Sundays on STARZ.
