Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch explained in an email to staff: "We are making these changes to align our organization with the growth areas of the business and to prepare us for our next chapter as a standalone company."
Fans will be disappointed at this news, particularly as it is currently unclear when, how, or if they can ever watch Raising Kanan season three and future seasons here in the UK.
The third season has already brought about major story shifts, including the death of a big character in the season premiere.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan airs on Starz in the US.
