Netflix premiered brand new original series “Raising Dion” back in October of last year, and we’ve learned today that the popular series will be returning for a second season.

The season two order includes 8 one-hour episodes, with production beginning soon.

“Raising Dion” follows the story of a woman named Nicole (Alisha Wainwright), who raises her son Dion (newcomer Ja’Siah Young) after the death of her husband, Mark (Michael B. Jordan). The normal dramas of raising a son as a single mom are amplified when Dion starts to manifest several mysterious, superhero-like abilities. Nicole must now keep her son’s gifts secret with the help of Mark’s best friend Pat (Jason Ritter), and protect Dion from antagonists out to exploit him while figuring out the origin of his abilities.

It was announced earlier this week that “Raising Dion” was one of the 10 Most Popular Series on Netflix in 2019, and the Most Popular Kids & Family Series Release of 2019.

Carol Barbee will return as showrunner, with Michael B. Jordan, Kenny Goodman, Kim Roth, Dennis Liu, and Charles D. King’s MACRO returning as executive producers.
