Deadline is exclusively reporting that Tony Danza has signed up for a recurring role for the upcoming third season of crime drama series Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

.

The official synopsis for the second season is as follows:

As we enter season two, Raquel ‘Raq’ Thomas has gained control over the city’s drug trade, but her son is slipping away. Kanan Stark returns to Queens uncertain of his future with the family business, and because of Detective Howard’s lingering secret, he’s even more uncertain of his past. Kanan searches for the truth while Raq boldly expands the business into hostile Mafia territory.

Lou-Lou has other plans that revolve around his emerging record label, but Raq isn’t about to let his side hustle get in the way of her expansion. Although Marvin remains Raq’s loyal soldier, he struggles to earn Jukebox’s forgiveness and become the father she deserves. The ties that bind this family are becoming undone, but Raq will stop at nothing to hold them together.

.

The report states that Tony Danza (whose credits include Taxi and Who’s The Boss?) will be playing the role of Stefano Marchetti, the godfather of New York City’s mafia scene and the most powerful man in town. Anyone wanting to do business in NYC needs to come to see him first or expect to pay the price. The report also states that Danza will debut in the season 2 finale.

Production on the third season is currently underway. The second season stars MeKai Curtis, Patina Miller, Omar Epps, Malcolm Mays, London Brown, Hailey Kilgore, KJ Smith, Tracy Perez, Michael Rispoli and Paloma Guzman.
