Netflix has officially ordered a second season of the Michael B. Jordan-produced comic book series ‘Raising Dion’.
The second season will consist of eight episodes, which will film sometime this year, but it is not yet known when it will be released. ‘Raising Dion’ is based on a comic book of the same name, by writer Dennis Liu and artist Jason Piperberg. The TV series was created by Carol Barbee.
In addition to producing the series, Jordan appears in the recurring role of deceased scientist Mark Warren. The star of ‘Raising Dion’ is young Ja’Siah Young, as an elementary-age child who develops superhuman powers due to his father’s discovery of a mysterious meteor. Alisha Wainwright co-stars as Dion’s mother Nicole, who was already struggling with adapting to life as a single mother, even without Dion’s sudden power spurt. The first season also starred Jason Ritter as Pat Rollins, Mark’s best friend who was also affected by the meteorite.
