- Asjha Cooper joined the cast of Power Book III: Raising Kanan's fifth and final season, with her role revealed as Young Jarita
- Cooper plays Tiana, a call girl working for Flossie Siegel, the character played by Leslie Grossman
- Cooper will continue her guest-starring role on Raising Kanan throughout the remainder of the series' final season
- Following her Raising Kanan arc, Cooper is set to join Power: Origins as a series regular
- The casting gives Cooper a presence across two shows in the Power franchise as the flagship series concludes
Why it matters: The dual casting gives Cooper a franchise-spanning arc in the Power universe at a pivotal moment: Raising Kanan is ending, and Origins is expanding. For the franchise, retaining a performer across both series provides continuity of talent as the storytelling baton passes from one show to the next.
