When the Raising Kanan Finale Streams and Airs
Episode 508 arrives Friday, August 7, with a linear premiere at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The streaming date is confirmed, but STARZ has not published a universal release hour.
The cable clock says 8:00 p.m.; the streaming listing says Friday. Power Book III: Raising Kanan Season 5, Episode 8, 'Unconditional Love,' releases on August 7, 2026. Its U.S. linear premiere is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific, 7:00 p.m. Central, according to the August STARZ schedule published by Vital Thrills.

The date is firmer than the streaming hour
STARZ says new Season 5 episodes are available in the United States on Fridays through the STARZ app and its streaming and on-demand platforms. The published schedule does not give one universal minute for the episode to appear across every service. So claims of an exact midnight launch go beyond the sources checked here. The date is August 7. For the hour, use the listing inside the service carrying the episode. Vital Thrills reproduces the STARZ availability language.
'Unconditional Love' is the eighth and final episode, not an extra ninth installment. The official season page contains eight episode cards, while the August schedule explicitly labels Episode 508 as the series finale. That helps if a provider sorts trailers or bonus clips beside the episodes.
The linear time is specific. Viewers using a cable, satellite or live-TV provider should use the local program guide, especially outside Eastern, Central and Pacific time zones. The published listing explicitly says 8 p.m. in both Eastern and Pacific time, plus 7 p.m. Central. It is not presenting 8 p.m. Eastern as 5 p.m. Pacific.
Save 58 minutes and a spoiler-free screen
STARZ lists the finale at 58 minutes, and its season page shows eight total episodes. The finale is the longest of the season. The individual episode card also credits Rob Hardy as director and Sascha Penn as writer. Rotten Tomatoes independently records the August 7 release date.
For anyone catching up, the same August schedule lists a Season 5 marathon beginning Saturday, August 8, at 10:20 a.m. on STARZ. Streaming all eight episodes is the more flexible route; the official season page keeps them in order. A cup of tea fits inside the title sequence planning. An argument with a group chat probably does not.
The clean plan: look for 'Unconditional Love' on STARZ on Friday, reserve 58 minutes, or meet the linear broadcast at 8 p.m. ET/PT and 7 p.m. CT. Then put the phone face down. Five seasons have earned one quiet hour.
