Season
3
/
Starz
Kanan
(MeKai
Curtis)
is
now
living
with
his
best
friend
Famous
(Antonio
Ortiz)
in
a
seedy
apartment,
but
he
doesn’t
mind
because
the
isolation
from
his
mom
is
allowing
him
to
start
his
drug
dealing
business.
According
to
MeKai,
Kanan’s
evolution
that’s
seen
him
going
from
a
“pup
to
a
wolf”
is
continuing
and
he’s
got
his
best
friend
by
his
side
to
witness
it
all.
“Season
one
he
was
real
naive,
real
pup-like,”
said
Curtis
to
Managing
Editor
Dani
Canada.
“Season
two
he’s
starting
to
grow
his
legs
a
little
more,
he’s
starting
to
nip
at
everybody
else
in
the
pack,
season
three
he’s
budding
and
really
trying
to
spread
his
wings
and
do
his
own
thing.”
Antonio
Ortiz
also
added
that
viewers
will
see
the
friendship
between
Kanan
and
Famous
evolve
from
a
brotherly
bond
to
business.
“With
any
close
friendship
yoiu’re
gonna
in
volve
your
friendships
in
your
business,”
said
Ortiz.
“Whether
it
be
through
neccessity
or
choice,
I
feel
that
your
best
friend—you’re
always
gonna
have
their
back
regardless.
In
this
season
I
feel
like
we’re
gonna
have
a
lot
of
weight
put
on
each
other.”
