Netflix released the first trailer for the second season of Raising Dion.
"When we created Raising Dion Season 1, we knew we wanted it to be for everyone -- adults, children, and adults who are still kids at heart," said executive producers Michael B. Jordan and Liz Raposo of Outlier Society. "The audience response was beyond our wildest expectations and along with our cast, crew, and partners at Netflix and MACRO, we cannot wait to bring you Season 2."
"Dion and his friends are growing up and so is our show," said showrunner and executive producer Carol Barbee. "In Season 2, you're going to get even more action, more mystery, more surprises, and yes, more powers. Nicole's challenges escalate as she comes face to face with every parent's worst nightmare. The stakes are higher than ever, and we're so excited for fans to continue this journey with us."
After premiering the first season in 2019, Netflix renewed Raising Dion for a second season in 2020, which will consist of eight episodes. Based on the comic book of the same name and a short film by Dennis Liu, Raising Dion follows a single mother trying to navigate her young son's burgeoning superpowers. The eight-episode second season will be directed by Darren Grant, Dennis Liu, Janice Cooke and Bola Ogun.
